Democratic daughter of famous musician speaks out after Bob Lee's brutal murder, concedes 'liberal' leaders transformed San Francisco into a 's***hole'

Actress and fashion designer Sara Foster, daughter of the affluent Grammy Award-winning musician David Foster, minced no words when speaking out about tech magnate Bob Lee's brutal murder this week.

TheBlaze previously reported that 43-year-old Bob Lee was rushed to a hospital early Tuesday morning after being repeatedly stabbed on Main Street in SoMa, an entertainment and financial district on the city's east side.

Before succumbing to his wounds, he reportedly cried out for help, desperately trying to flag by passersby. He was ultimately ignored and left to die at the end of a long trail of blood.

With Lee's stabbing, there have been 12 murders so far this year in San Francisco.

Foster, 42, shared a screenshot of a New York Post article detailing Lee's slaying in an Instagram story, adding the caption, "I have no words. SF is a complete s***hole. I am a registered Democrat and feel confident saying liberal politicians are ruining cities."

"Disgusting," added Foster. "My heart breaks for this family."

Although she is a registered Democrat who has evidenced socially progressive views online, Foster appears to have grown increasingly disenchanted with leftist leadership and the repercussions of liberals' mismanagement, stressing that "our society is f***ed."

Foster — whose father, the Post noted, is a 16-time Grammy winner who worked with Paul McCartney, Chicago, and Celine Dion — is not the only Californian to recognize a decline in the quality of living and life expectancy under Democratic leadership.

KGO-TV reported that San Francisco, Oakland, and Berkeley together had a net loss of at least 250,000 households from 2018 through the end of 2022. Various other cities in the state similarly saw people flee en masse.

The San Francisco Chronicle conducted a comprehensive survey of over 1,650 people between June and July 2022 to "measure attitudes on what's working, what isn't, performance of city government, the future of the city and more." In that survey, 65% of respondents said the city, run by Democrat Mayor London Breed, was worse than when they first moved there. Only 10% said it was better.

The survey revealed that 37% of current residents plan to be living somewhere besides San Francisco in three years' time.

San Francisco, the location of Democrat House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's multimillion-dollar mansion, has a ranking of 2 on Neighborhood Scout's crime index (100 is safest).

So far this calendar year, there have been 660 reported robberies; 591 assaults; 1,373 burglaries; 1,522 motor vehicle thefts; and 53 rapes.

It's not just random acts of unchecked violence that are stacking bodies in the Democrat-controlled city.

San Francisco's Chief Medical Examiner recently revealed that over 130 people died of a drug overdoses in the months of January and February alone, reported KGO.

Despite Lee's brutal murder and alarming crime stats, CNN tweeted Friday, "The stabbing death of CashApp founder Bob Lee has prompted comments perpetuating the notion that San Francisco is dangerous and crime-riddled, but data shows violent crime – especially homicides – are well below that of many other cities of a similar size."

The corresponding CNN article suggests that "the number of homicides in San Francisco is well below that of other cities of a similar size," citing data from the Major Cities Police Chiefs Association shows. Oakland, with its 120 murders and 170 rapes in 2022, is counted separately from San Francisco with its 56 murders and 308 rapes in 2022.

CNN downplayed the city's issues just weeks after one of its own reporters was robbed "again" in broad daylight while covering crime in the city.

While there may be fewer homicides in San Francisco than other Democrat-run cities, there are plenty of dead dreams.

The Daily Mail reported that in February 2022, there were nearly 8,000 homeless persons in San Francisco. With this growing homeless population comes other problems, such as sidewalks encrusted with garbage and littered with human excrement.

The New York Post reported that Bob Lee's friend indicated the murdered tech magnate had moved to Florida because he felt San Francisco was "deteriorating."
