In a shocking revelation, a former spokesperson for Pamela Price, a district attorney in the San Francisco Bay Area, backed by George Soros, has filed a lawsuit against her previous employer.
The lawsuit alleges that the prosecutors office was rife with anti-Asian racism and that it deliberately deleted public records to evade media scrutiny.
According to the court documents, Patti Lee, who served as a public information officer for Prices office, claims that she was subjected to "a clear anti-Asian sentiment" within the office. She further alleges that Price, the top prosecutor, chose "to hide, delete and change" public records to sidestep lawful requests. The lawsuit suggests that Lee's termination was due to her Asian descent and her refusal to support the release of manipulated public records.
In a statement, Lee expressed her dismay, saying, "I have never been subjected to such humiliating and bullying behavior in a workplace. It is unacceptable in any professional environment, but when the perpetrator is a public official who claims to be a civil rights advocate, it is unconscionable.
The lawsuit further alleges that Price told Lee that her enemies were "the media and the Asians." Lee claims that Price would accuse her of leaking information to Asian American activists seeking to remove her from office and to the press. When contacted by the Daily Caller News Foundation, a spokesperson for the Alameda County district attorney office stated that they "cannot comment on litigation regarding personnel matters."
As reported by the Daily Caller, Price's 2018 district attorney campaign received a substantial $700,000 from the California Justice and Public Safety PAC, a committee almost entirely funded by George Soros. Despite losing in 2018, Price's 2022 run for district attorney was successful, and she assumed office in 2023.
Price's tenure has been marked by controversy, particularly from Oaklands Asian community, who expressed concerns that she would not prosecute two men charged in the 2021 killing of a two-year-old Chinese American boy, as per the San Francisco Standard. In a move that further incensed the slain childs family, Price reduced the severity of the charges, eliminating the possibility of life sentences without parole in June 2023, a local NBC affiliate reported.
Price's approach to criminal justice, favoring criminals over victims, has sparked a recall effort by local activists. This approach is believed to have contributed to a 21% increase in violent crime in Oakland, the largest city in Alameda County, during the first ten months of Prices term as district attorney, according to police data.
Moreover, Price's office has shown a reluctance to release data on its prosecutorial practices, rebuffing efforts from the San Francisco Chronicle to obtain records on what crimes are leading to criminal charges and which are not. This lack of transparency raises further questions about the integrity of Price's office and its commitment to justice.
