A woke and corrupt California Sheriff from one of the state’s wealthiest counties made ignominious history last week, thanks to her actions. Not even crying racism could save her.
As the AP reported, the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on October 14 to kick Sheriff Christina Corpus out of office. The vote was a unanimous 5-0 decision.
This is the first time in California history that a county sheriff has been removed from office.
Corpus was furious following the decision and slammed the board.
“You may remove me from office, but you will not erase the truth,” she stated at the meeting.
“I may lose my title, but I will never, ever lose my purpose,” Corpus added.
Corpus’s removal comes after retired Superior Court Judge James Emerson found cause to remove Corpus after a two-week trial. This trial uncovered evidence showing just how scandalous her two-plus years in office were.
From the AP:
Emerson found that Corpus had “a close personal relationship outside the boundaries of a professional working relationship” with a subordinate, unlawfully ordered the arrest of the president of the sheriff’s deputies’ union, and retaliated against a captain who refused to conduct the union president’s arrest because he believed it violated state law.
The Daily Mail notes that Judge LaDoria Cordell released a 408-page report showing that Corpus had a romantic relationship with Victor Aenlle, who was her chief of staff. He made more than $246,000 a year working for her.
A separate 59-page report compiled by the law firm Keker, Van Nest & Peters went into further detail. The firm discovered through its investigation that Corpus and Aenlle were seen kissing and that he gave her luxury boots and money for $12,000 earrings.
The report also confirmed Corpus refused to perform her duties, obstructed investigations, and coddled Aenlle, who had never bothered to complete deputy training.
Rather than accept responsibility, Corpus decided to cry racism and sue San Mateo County for $10 million for “racial discrimination.” She claimed they were targeting her for being a “Latinx” woman.
But San Mateo residents were not impressed. As The Daily Mail reported, a vote held in March found that 84% wanted her out of office.
The vote approved Proposition A, which gave the board of supervisors the authority to fire Corpus.
