SF Sheriff's Friendship Drama: A Political Plot Twist Nobody Asked For

Well, folks, San Francisco’s political landscape just got a whole lot weirder. Our local SF Sheriff Paul Miyamoto has managed to turn heads by endorsing Chad Bianco, a hardcore MAGA Republican, for California governor – and trust us, it’s as messy as it sounds.
A Friendship Beyond Politics
In a move that’s leaving Bay Area progressives scratching their heads, Miyamoto claims he’s just supporting a “peer and friend” in law enforcement. Never mind that Bianco is the type of MAGA crusader who gets excited about potentially putting a “felon in the White House” while Miyamoto comes from a family that experienced Japanese internment camps. Talk about an odd couple.
The Real Political Tea
Miyamoto seems almost casual about the whole situation, admitting he’s not even sure about Bianco’s stance on every issue. Political veteran Willie Brown suggests it’s purely a professional courtesy – you know, that classic “we’re both sheriffs” solidarity. But let’s be real: in today’s hyper-polarized political climate, this endorsement feels like serving up some seriously spicy drama.
The Likely Non-Starter
Despite all the buzz, most political analysts are betting Bianco’s gubernatorial run is about as likely as finding affordable housing in San Francisco. Miyamoto himself seems to recognize this, essentially shrugging and saying he doesn’t think Bianco’s actually going to win. Classic Bay Area political nonchalance at its finest.
