Senior Trump campaign adviser Kimberly Guilfoyle railed against San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin after a recall effort on him was launched, saying she warned a year ago he was “radical.”
“Last year I expressed my fears for @chesaboudin’s radical, criminal-first approach. Sadly, those fears have become reality and real lives are being lost because of his deadly experiment,” Guilfoyle tweeted Monday evening.
This is absolutely devastating and my heart breaks for the family of these victims.

Her comment came in response to a hit-and-run in the city that left two women dead on New Year’s Eve. The suspect behind the deaths is a 45-year-old parolee.
“This is absolutely devastating and my heart breaks for the family of these victims,” Guilfoyle added in the tweet.
The deaths sparked a recall effort against Boudin, who was raised by former Weather Underground leaders Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.
“We need to work with the police and with all other law enforcement agencies that we partner with to do a better job at keeping the city safe. I can’t do it without the police, they can’t do it without me, and parole certainly can’t do it if nobody even tells them somebody they supervise has been arrested. And that is exactly what happened here on December 20, and again with a different agency on December 29,” Boudin said in response to criticisms of why the suspect was let back onto the streets.
Guilfoyle warned back in January of 2020 that Boudin was “dangerous,” adding that he had worked as Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’s translator.
“As a young adult pursuing a career in law, Boudin didn’t abandon the radical ideology of his upbringing; he embraced it by moving to Venezuela. Boudin served as a translator for Hugo Chavez, the communist dictator who dismantled the nation’s democracy and set the country on the path to its current state of socialism-induced economic collapse,” Guilfoyle wrote in an op-ed last year.
“Now, as a Yale-educated attorney, Boudin has inexplicably found himself believing that he himself is the victim of a broken criminal justice system. As a result, he’s committed to radically transforming that system,” she added, after Boudin moved to fire seven prosecutors when he took office.
Boudin’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
