Failed Republican speaker candidate Rep. Jim Jordan went to his social media account on X (formerly Twitter) to post an attack on “Democrat-run San Francisco.”
-Restaurants shutting down every week.
-Rampant drug use
-Vandalism
-Crime
It is a sentiment spread by conservatives and parroted by people like Elon Musk and Joe Rogan, calling San Francisco’s visible homeless population a “zombie apocalypse.” Jordan pasted a Fox News article as his source. That Fox News article was a reimagining of a recently published story in the San Francisco Chronicle about the ongoing struggles for small business owners on Valencia Street in the Mission District of San Francisco. Jordan’s sentiments echo Fox News, which focused their dreck reporting on a single line in the Chronicle story. But the Fox article is not supported by facts. At all.
