But in late 2020, Ballard found himself at the center of his own ugly scandal as he was accused of drunkenly shoving his wife’s head into a glass door and smothering his 4-year-old daughter with a pillow during a family trip to Napa.
Mark Farrell, who was briefly appointed mayor in 2018 and is now seeking to reclaim the city’s highest office, used personalized letterhead touting his old title as San Francisco’s 44th mayor and said he had “witnessed first-hand [Ballard’s] dedicated and loving approach to fatherhood.”
MAGA Mark supports conservative conspiracy theories
His host, local commercial real-estate broker Larry Buck, lauded Farrell and then launched into what closely mirrored GOP talking points.
“We have devolved into an international joke of lawlessness and wokeism, rewarding laziness and punishing those that work hard,” Buck said, according to a recording of the July 16 fundraiser.
Buck also mocked San Francisco’s aggressive vaccine and mask mandates during the Covid pandemic, arguing those public-health measures were the start of downtown’s “doom loop.” He called Breed a socialist and blamed her for the city’s retail theft and homelessness problems.
Farrell, who spoke immediately after Buck, complimented his host’s assessment: “Sometimes I go through the nasty scenarios on where we are honestly. I think Larry did a great job of that … Larry laid it out pretty compellingly.”
