Is Brenda F. Harbin-Forte a former judge with a grudge?
By Lynda Carson - March 17, 2024
Shortly after a protest and rally by Oakland activists demanding that Tyfahra Milele and Brenda F. Harbin-Forte should be removed from the Oakland Police Commission, Mayor Sheng Thao removed Brenda F. Harbin-Forte from the commission.
Seven months later, former judge Brenda F. Harbin-Forte spearheads an attack against Mayor Sheng Thao in the form of an recall campaign to remove Mayor Sheng Thao from office, while trying to disenfranchise all the voters who voted Mayor Sheng Thao into office.
Any way that one looks at what is happening with the former judge Brenda F. Harbin-Forte recall campaign attack against Oakland’s Mayor Sheng Thao, clearly it is an attack on democracy and freedom, in an all out effort to disenfranchise and disrespect all the voters of Oakland who voted Sheng Thao into office. Brenda F. Harbin-Forte is trying to overturn the results of an election that usher Sheng Thao into the mayor’s office, after judging Sheng Thao to be unfit to be the Mayor of Oakland.
Perhaps someone should remind Brenda F. Harbin-Forte that she is no longer a judge, and that she is no longer in the justice system racket locking people up for drug offenses, or locking up juveniles in trouble, or people accused of committing other offenses.
A former judge with a grudge?
A former judge with a grudge? On one hand we still have the notorious twice impeached former president Donald J. Trump in our face after he tried to overturn the results of an election that brought Joe Biden into office. Meanwhile, we have the former judge Brenda F. Harbin-Forte trying to overturn the election results that ushered Sheng Thao into the mayor’s office, with a recall campaign she is spearheading, after Mayor Sheng Thao removed her from the Oakland Police Commission.
Is this a former judge with a grudge who is attacking the mayor, and the Oakland voters who voted Sheng Thao into office as the Mayor of Oakland?
Those who oppose the recall of Mayor Sheng Thao believe that it will cost Oakland at least $4.5 million for a special election during a time that Oakland is broke, may have to close some schools, and lay off more teachers.
Like it or not, it appears that Donald J. Trump, Brenda F. Harbin-Forte, Carl Chan, and Brenda Grisham are all in bed together with their efforts to overturn elections in the White House, the Oakland mayor’s office, and the Alameda County D.A.s office…. What a world.
Reportedly, wealthy billionaire Ron Conway (Ronald Crawford Conway) is helping to finance the recall campaign of Brenda F. Harbin-Forte to remove Mayor Sheng Thao from office, and it appears that Ron Conway has climbed into bed with Donald J. Trump, Brenda F. Harbin-Forte, Carl Chan, and Brenda Grisham, in an effort to overturn the results of some elections.
