The Issue: The recall of progressive San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin.

San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin claims he was ousted by right-wing billionaires, when actually he was removed by fed-up voters (“Frisco voters boot their lefty DA,” June 8).

He said: “We can never incarcerate our way out of poverty.” Who said we could? City voters would like to incarcerate their way out of crime.

Gov. Kathy Hochul’s election ads continually tout her stance on stemming the tide of crime facing all New Yorkers.

Well, talk is cheap, and Hochul’s words ring hollow while the progressive agenda is bringing ruin to our once-great state.

Since we don’t have the ability to recall district attorneys like California voters do, let her now put her money where her mouth is and remove the ineffectual and out-of-touch Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

It is within the power of the governor to remove a duly elected DA from office for failure to perform his or her duties. Bragg most definitely fits that bill. It’s time for Hochul to stand up for law and order.

It starts with Boudin and hopefully ends with Bragg.

The facts are on the table, as The Post points out: Some progressive prosecutors are paid for by Soros, the bane of American justice.

As crime statistics increase, these radical left prosecutors are now getting negative feedback from their own party because people are starting to see how warped these individuals truly are with their obscene decisions, releasing hardened criminals back out onto our streets.

Meanwhile there is an adverse affect on Democratic officials, who are looking inept in their attempt to clean up crime. It’s time to rid these bottom-of-the-barrel leftist prosecutors from society.

The Issue: Matthew McConaughey’s call for gun control after a school shooting in Uvalde, Texas.

Actor Matthew McConaughey was born and grew up in Uvalde, Texas (“Time to Act now on gun laws,” June 8).

He spoke at a press conference at the White House calling for new gun legislation. He said, “We start by making the loss of these lives matter.”

Why didn’t he also call upon his friends in Hollywood to stop glorifying gun violence in movies and television? What about advocating to end bail for those who use a gun in the act of committing any crime?

Real penalties are needed to serve as a disincentive for using a gun to commit a crime. Actions sometimes speak louder than words.

Raising the age to 21 for everything, such as voting, being in the military, buying cigarettes, getting married and buying a gun, is fine with me.

But the quickest way to solve the gun problem is keep the criminals behind bars and enforce all the laws, not just those that suit your ideology.
