    Useless interview. She hasn’t done anything for Oakland. She needs to be recalled!
  • She’s done a horrible job. The criminals are ruining the city. She should have brought in the National Guard and the CHP to help with the lawlessness. Oakland PD has to play with a criminal friendly rules that the citizens wanted. That lenient DA needs to go as well.
  • If you can’t share any information due to an ongoing investigation then why take the interview at this time?
  • @moogs
    She’s gotta go. Don’t care what she says. She’s a failure.
  • If YOU cant ANSWER ""WHY"" in this interview, Why have an interview!! MORE Wasted TIME & TAX DOLLARS!!
  • If everything is an ongoing investigation, why even have an interview??? literally a waste of time. She just needs to step down, too much drama with her, she's adding on the problems Oakland is dealing with.
  • @Justin-gr4yi
    This mayor has too much drama to deal with and should step down to focus on her personal life. Oakland doesn't need to be tainted with additional troubled circumstances surrounding Mayor Sheng Thao. It's even a waste of the city's tax dollars doing this interview. Imaging how much of her mental and physical energy is spent on the FBI raid. Also, Oakland is a failed city. They need a stronger, more transparent, un-corrupt, true leader that doesn't hide in their office every day. The only time you really see a politician in public and answering questions is when they're campaigning for election. She should move on. She's holding on to her anger and ego. It's a bad look that you can see in her recent interviews. She needs a fresh start in another career. If she wants to fight back, do it without tax payers' money.
  • @reempire888
    She can't say anything because she didnt want to incriminate herself.
  • @Denniss7420
    Pay for Play. Need a new Mayor who cares about the City they claim Represent.
  • Wait, you said you can’t comment when reporter asked you questions but at the same time you’re saying you’re not the target. Get out of here
  • @3DbeautyLove
    Shy lying they do show who the donations coming from she trying to use the line the DA pam used FOR HER RECALL girl you missed the money for Oakland and you mad nobody wants to deal with you AT ALL
  • I was about to comment but I forgot this is all under investigation
  • @LARAC510
    As someone born and raised in Oakland, this chic is not from Oakland and this is the primary problem. Firstly, we have to stop voting in these people who are not from Oakland, because they don’t have any vested interests in Oakland. Secondly, we have to stop voting in people who don’t have the capacity to do basic governance. We vote too many people in office based on agendas and not on their ability to do their basic job such as running the business of a City. They don’t know anything about balancing budgets, they don’t know anything about allocating resources; and it’s too much focus on special interests and political ideology. And voting these people in based on Agendas and Political ideology is the main reason why these unscrupulous people are getting into office and running these cities in the ground. If we voted for people who are actually from these cities and have lived here for a very long time, and who are actually qualified to do these jobs, about 80% of these local elected representatives wouldn’t qualify.
  • Crime has more than doubled within her 1 year term. They decriminalized most stuff so they CAN SAY there's no crime. lol
  • Too ashamed to the entire world FBI silent raid a Asia as Hmong woman become a mayor in one city over 400,000 populations
  • "Absolutely,absolutely."..."on going investigation"...."can't comment on that." Nothing was discovered or disclosed. She's a terrible mayor that ruined her City.
