Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
All right.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
Well, El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells is running against a Democrat Socialist of America-endorsed candidate.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
Uh, this guy is Alexander Kraft.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
And Kraft, according to the Democrat Socialist of America San Diego website, he is the founder of the Party for Socialist Liberation in San Diego.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
SEIU has donated $5,000 to his campaign according to documents filed with, uh, the Fair Political Practices Commission.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
But, uh, you know, I think it's worth bringing up because the Party for Socialist Liberation actually calls for, uh, the dismantling of the United States of America and the police and replacing them with armed citizens instead.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
So, uh, El Cajon, uh, please make sure that you support, uh, Bill Wells.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
Uh, he should win easily, uh, versus this clown.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
Uh, then let's go into the city races in the East County.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
Of course, El Cajon Mayor Bill Wells has my 1000%, uh, support.
Dave StallHOST
Yep.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
I did an expose this week on social media.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
Who is the Party for Socialist Liberation? Oh, they just want the armed overthrow of the United States is all.
Dave StallHOST
That's it.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
So, uh, vote for Bill Wells for El Cajon Mayor.
Amy ReichertCORRESPONDENT
Uh, El Cajon City Council District 1, uh, Chuck Kaye.
Jakob McWhinneyPANELIST
I did, yeah.
Jakob McWhinneyPANELIST
So, you know, context, as I'd mentioned before, uh, on the podcast, Bill Wells, current El Cajon mayor, originally agreed to take part in the debate.
Jakob McWhinneyPANELIST
He eventually pulled out, and part of his reasoning was he felt w- he felt Alexander Craft, this, this kind of third-party socialist running for, um, El Cajon mayor, was too radical to have a conversation about actual nuts and bolts issues in El Cajon.
Jakob McWhinneyPANELIST
Um, part of his reasoning, as I say in this clip, is, is, um, uh, Alexander Craft's potential connection to this organization called The Party for Socialism and Liberation.
Scott LewisHOST
It's just funny to me, is the-
Jakob McWhinneyPANELIST
I- it is, it was an interesting conversation.
Jakob McWhinneyPANELIST
You know, I, I, I, obviously, you have to talk about these kinds of things, or I felt I needed to ask about them because they were playing a large role in the messaging that Bill Wells was putting out about this campaign.
Jakob McWhinneyPANELIST
Ultimately, he basically, y- you know, throughout that clip said, you know, "Yes, as a socialist, there are w- big ways that I would like society to change.
Scott LewisHOST
That one stung.
Scott LewisHOST
So then we heard Bill Wells is backing off.
Scott LewisHOST
So Bill Wells was the first to turn his slides in, one of the first to confirm.
Jakob McWhinneyPANELIST
We do have his
Scott LewisHOST
slides, yeah.
Jakob McWhinneyPANELIST
All of that.
Jakob McWhinneyPANELIST
you know to me seems like a very clear reason why he should get up on stage and debate him
Scott LewisHOST
