- Sheng Thao won the Oakland mayor's race in November 2022 by only 677 votes. In light of the FBI raid on her home last week, the ABC7 News I-Team has learned that the man who came in second, Loren Taylor, is preparing his campaign staff to take another run. abc7ne.ws/4cjPsoy

These reporters and anchors FOR REAL rock the 1970’s style Channel 7 emblem pins. I love it! That’s some classic Americana.
Jerry Dunphy, Ann Martin, Johnny Mountain, Dr. George Fischbeck 😇
I think 7 never stopped wearing the pins. Funny you mention that because over the years the field reporters went from button up suits to business casual to Patagonia fleece jackets and vests to recently saw one in a plain black t-shirt. A sign of how SV/tech fashion trend is influencing the journalism personalities.
💯
I can’t believe she blamed republicans 😂😂😂
"They were wearing MAGA hats!!"
Orange man bad 😵💫
No they weren't. FBI is left leaning. FBI reports to Democrat Attorney General Garland.
Bidens DOJ in deep DEEP blue California, and it's still all republicans fault... you can't make this shit up.
@@galaxiax3284orange man is a traitor, rapist and conman.
Jesus! I’m shocked Oakland even has government
Oakland where the corruption is so corrupt they can’t even launder money properly.
It's doesn't sadly Plus their community is so racist in many aspects only looking out for their own so corrupt store's that sell liqueur profit from lazy drunk black males all day who terrorize other blacks in Chinatown trying to come to do any business. Never do they hold a press conference when anyone of color in their community is harmed.The Lord will reign his power's. I'm no racist just have visited and have seen their disrespect once the Hennessy and Cheetos are bought. Lord will expose all wrongdoers 2024 can't escape doing other's wrong
they dont
Hiding face with mask looks negative to truth.
1) FBI know it from 2016
2) Duong is a big D donator ( FBI let it alone)
3) Duong is now a DJT donator ( Biden admin don't like that)
4) Time to blame on Thao and replace her with other corrupted D. ( you see that in many communist country)
RESIGN NOW!!! Sheng Thao has gotta go!!! Totally inept & corrupt politician.....
@paolo-n2000 Where is the corruption??? She is not inept....that new Police Chief is a nice upgrade!!! Progress, not perfection that is what we have and demand. So far there hasn't been any evidence of corruption. I see what's happening and people need to get over it. If the mayor is corrupt, it will all be exposed, if she is really corrupt it will all be exposed soon.
They're all democrats, no difference.
They CUOMOed Sheng Thao.
@@Georgetellme I agree the mayor needs to resign. But, your comment is racist.
@@thomaskim5008
take it like you please..........
She seems so triggered that her Elite Privilege card got revoked 😅..
Diversity is your strength Bay Area!
That's why I left 20 years ago
Except for asian, am I right? lol
Not in the wrong hands it's not!
If it was the old story of white corruption… would you be so triggered?
677 votes. Are they alive?
At the time, a lot of people requested a recount because it was SO close. Such a small margin AND there were later errors found in other ranked choice election results which didn’t feel good. However the county would only do a recall if they were paid for it and it was a lot of money.
Just curious, why did Sheng fired the chief and what wrongs had she's done?
She wasn’t fired. She stated that she quit. More of her interview can be found on TH-cam. We will see if Sheng disputes any of her allegations, but she provided text messages and emails proving that she met with the FBI related to the matters after she quit.
I’m also curious, but from all the things going on it looks like the establishment Dems has don’t everything in their powers and dig up anything just to boot her and replace her with their establishment dem mayor. Funny how they always attack the GOP about Obama but they’re faster at attacking Sheng than the GOP did on Obama. They wanted a reclass in less than 1/2 a year into her job; if that’s not a red flag than you people really aren’t seeing the bigger picture.
As for her former chief of staff, sounds like she got some nice backing to be doing flip side very fast. Money talks, and can get some people to say whatever they’re told. Or she’s still mad about getting fire. I saw another of her interview and sht she’s claimed to had happened, has no concrete evidence and it’s all hearsay.
Campaign finance violations AND bounced checks. LOL
@masonite1973 It doesn't make sense, if there are bounced checks, that doesn't seem like there is a lot of money floating around. What is funny, if that guy that made the flyers said he didn't see them before printing them. This sounds like a setup??? There is something fishy going on and everyone seems to suggest that their skin has been darkened, when presented in a negative way. I mean to compare it to Willy Horton is a stretch beyond believe, are we really going there?? Why don't we all come out and say, this is a race thing and stop making suggestions could be a race thing.
Not to worry... when she's out, Oakland will vote someone exactly like her into office and then the shit show will continue..... just like Chicago.
Yep
Pelosi next
Your moma
@@TeeDee-j9u your moma 😂😂😂
For what
Price should go first man. Why we are focusing on her?
It's comming
We need an open border to attract talent to our country.
Legacy communities and people are destroying the country.
This is going to get really technical. To see what I mean, find the Stewart/Colbert sketch-interview about PACs.
Shouldn't surprise anyone. Blue State and Cities getting what they voted for. Vendors beware....no terms...payment in full up front.
Loren Taylor is even worse
Straight BS. Dude is pulling vic card. Your skin tone is perfectly fine in that flyer. It even made you look good. 😂 1:23
@@jeremys6631 he learned that from 45, certainly.
Save Oakland remove her now lock her up
Loren ain’t no better lol
Well, clearly, he got just enough common sense to not get his house raided by the FBI... I certainly think that makes him better by default.
@@reeselovett7453 bro. Name an official who hasn’t taken money under the table? Lol.
I don’t understand why they need funding anyway and commercials to campaign. Oakland isn’t that big of a city.
She isn’t to blame for the violence and incompetence in Oakland. It’s been like this since Carpentier was the first Mayor.
But to act like he didn’t take money as well or he’s gonna save Oakland. Stop it!
@@kitchen6036 That's where you went left. Go back and re-read my comment. I never "acted" or implied that he didn't take any money, neither did I imply he was gonna save Oakland...lol
@@reeselovett7453 you said he’s better right? Lol. Sheng wtv tf her name is didn’t get caught slipping. It was a witch hunt out for her and if the right ppl want you out, they’ll get you out.
Thats what you get for making those flyers.
And that Black lady like all sellouts... always wants to come out AFTER the damage is done but does nothing to stop it from happening in the first place.
Watch more of her interview. She quit and reported the information to the FBI. She even provides proof to the interviewer that the meeting with the FBI did in fact occur. Now we have to wait and see how it all plays out.
@@kaliboyred69 I will do so. Thanks for pointing this out. If you could help by providing a link to the video I should watch I would really appreciate it.
Dolton and Oakland lol. But its the Right lol.
That's it....? They gave more money to a campaign and it resulted in a win?
We need transparency. When donations and bills are proposed, we want names of individuals and companies so we can trace who is pushing their personal agendas.
Confiscate her assets she received from bribery, fund the jails and law enforcement. She can support herself in a big house for decades.
I am Asian and I will only vote for a Caucasian candidate since I know that person will take care of everyone within a diversed community. I stayed cleared of voting for any Asian candidates.
this must be what was like when the peasant revolted in the Stone Age I'm a peasant I'm ready😂
The Bay Area is in shambles and people still vote for Newsom? Enough is enough. Regardless of your political affiliation, vote accordingly.
Why wait until recall and raiding?
Is this America 🇺🇸 still?
Last year she fired police chief LeRonne Armstrong.
London breed next!
That b!tch smells fishy.
The chickens are coming back to the roost !!! What comes around goes around !!!
Oakland cant catch a break smh.
I honestly dont understand how any negative publicity for the democrats is allowed on air in an election year. Who cleared this danger to democracy?
Which doesn't mean this 2nd guy won't do the same thing
Open the borders to allow decent people into this country.
See how karma hits home you fired the bratha from bein the police chief and not too long after your not only fired but also arrested 👮🙆👮🏻♂️🚓
Funny how some candidates always rely of ballots that someone finds in a trunk of a car, in a closet; always happen to find a box or 12.
Her kitty cant be THAT good can it?
This sounds like good old Mitch McConnell and his wife I wonder why the doj hasn't taken a look into that
wow
The Asian gangs.
Triads In Oakland ?
Go ahead and vote for the socialism democrat
The reason why her house got raided ..I think because she got with the usual suspects 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
U r such a racist with racist comments please find Jesus!!
What? Tell me more.
I mean, ya'all chose the easiest system to game for vote counting, enjoy it!
Why aren't we saying that about a presidential candidate that has been convicted of 35 felonies?
Easy to go after a minority than a white man😮😮
Name one felony.
@@brosephbroman7564 Campaign fraud and reporting. Falsified Business records. Conspiracy to commit fraud. Just for the record Trump's fraud convictions.... is not news. He had to shut down Trump University because of Fraud. Trump has a long history of being connected to fraudulent practices, well before he ran for President. If people looked at Trump's history they will see a lot of loses in Court over his fraudulent behavior. The guy routinely likes to stiff the "little guy", this is when he was a democrat and invited Bill and Hillary to his wedding.
She isn't anyone minority 😅😅😅
If it looks like poop and smells like poop well go figure it just might be poop?????
There are so many billionaire donors…. They had to have a warrant on the donors too…. 🇮🇱
Pay to play schemes
So what, Oakland will just elect another Democrat Mayor and their problems will continue! Enjoy!
dirty
Don’t trust this medium
😂
oh election denier????
I mean people don’t like breed or Libby… that’s probably why you lost? 😂
She has nothing to hide…. She said. 😂
Call the Gov, hes involved in this too. Get all of them out. 😂
Exactly, over $30 billion in funds missing!
Investigate Breed and Newsom too.
For what?
Breed will lose her seat
@@7jclarkracketeering and corruption and misappropriation of government funds
The entire state looks a mess right now. I agree they all definitely need to be looked at
The bigger picture is this: who else has Duong financed?
Kamala Harris hence why she went to Vietnam less than a year ago as well as the Biden campaign. Investigations need to be more accurate.
Biden
@@ivyngo110 they deleted my comment but correct Biden AND Kamala Harris
Kamala visited Vietnam less than a year ago if anyone remembers
China
Time to hold her accountable for her actions. She is full of denial too.
Deny of what?
If Thao doesn't bow out, and she gets recalled, it will be the end of her political career. She will never come back from that
You still think she’s coming back from this regardless?😂
She's already cry bullying. She'll be on MSNBC next year.
& she should go to Jail.
If Biden and Trump can run, she can run.
@TC-cd5sm Everyone gets recalled even Newsome, this is the crappy part of California politics. Losers will always launch a recall trying to get their person in there.
They thought they were above the law
Like all Democrats
They are above the law.
Do you see anyone getting aressted?
You can't aresst a Democrat.
The flyer guy is a treat. " I didn't really pay attention to the message."
Shen Tao is trouble!! She needs to apologize and hire our Oakland Police Chief again!!
Nothing will improve in Bay Area until the voters stop voting Democrat.. otherwise it's just business as usual.
Amen 🙌
The vote is blue controlled and has been for I can remember 60 years. Look at who is in control of the machines....
Yes, because GOP states are clean white heavens….. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
@@MrScaryLemonHead well when u cant even park at inandout and have nice burger without yr car getting burglarized and cops do nothing you need to vote differently
imagine blaming politics.. when really people are just corrupt
Boy, I bet she was laughing when Donald Trump's Home got rated. It's not so funny now, Lol 😂😂😂😂😂😮
Raided. There was a RAID, not a rate
As citizens we should all be happy when corruption is outed. No matter which party they belong too. No more double standards. Hold these crooked politicians accountable. Party politics is ruining this country.
DEI is destroying this country. Bring back qualified people!
She knows EXACTLY what this is about 😅
The mayor should throw in the towel
Thao"
bruh lol
She resigned yesterday.
Cuomoed.
She won fair and squared, don't you see
I am flabbergasted that there is impropriety in our elections; I thought us being the shining city on the hill and the beacon of democracy for the world, our elections are unquestionable and our politicians are solid as gold! Who could have imagined ...
Lol, it's a failing democrat city, are you serious?
All democrats cities have voter fraud.
Were not a democracy ... read article 4 section 4 of the us constittion.. were not even a democratic Republic
Vote Republican
A corrupt politician? Who would have thought
Waycism! It's always waycism.
Have lost a lot of respect for Dan Noyes. And this guy Loren Taylor, playing the waycism card.
Most the people in the city of Oakland are proudly to tell her to resign
Yall just gonna vote in another progressive democrat just stay inside lock your doors because nothings gonna change 😂
But I bet they keep voting for that D
She's DONE ! 😂😂😂😂
She needs to go she’s corrupt.
to jail
That woman does not like the mayor and wants to see her in prison. I feel bad for the mayor.
They're gonna replace Tsao for another DEI hire? 😂
Oakland aint changing.
Duong pay Thao for favors.
Happy endings 😅
Something strange for some change$$$
@@jaclynrivera5810 😂😂
Nothing new , it always like that for decades
The Mayor Thao needs to be in jail.
@PatrickHo1972 In jail for what???
No she needs to resign or be fired and DUONG needs to go to jail because this slick criminal has also funded other shady avenues and the truth about him is coming out and this is why her lawyer quit on her because he found out she was connected to DUONG. Duong is evil 😈
@@tonespeakscampaign violations.
@@tonespeaksyou never know until you find out later.
Corruption in Oakland
No Wonder the city is in Horrible shape
Let’s hope there is a fair and truthful investigation against or in favor of Mayor Thao.
@@ileanafigueroa8685 It's political, I doubt she is involved in any wrong doing.
She is so busy money laundering and she forgets to take off her own city.
Shen Thao, how much do you owe in gambling debts? Casino employees are reporting that you are a regular. Are gambling debts the reason you sold out Oakland?
Newsome on the list?
What about no Justice Alito, Clarence Thomas and Donal Trump.......?
Well, Newsom's Recall is on the November Ballot 🎉🎉
Nope he gave his 10% to the big guy so far
He should be. Over $30 billion is missing. And he's trying to ignore it and sweep it under the rug.
@@cindirose3390Maybe 3rd times the charm?
No one donated money 💰 to her campaign. This guy is only person who helped. Don’t be greedy!
Every campaign has donors 😂😂
Politicians are not in the game to make life better for their constituents. They are there to make life better for themselves. They don't even try to hide it anymore. From past presidents to local mayors, the game is the same. For example, one has to ask how it is possible for a former president to increase his net worth by tens of millions on his salary. Corruption is not the exception, it's the norm and is expected.
Ranked choice voting is ridiculous. If you can't pull a majority or plurality on a direct vote basis, you have no mandate.
@coolcpa3321 If you can't win ..... you don't deserve to win... you for sure don't have a mandate.... stop the crying and run again.
@@tonespeaks And have the voters come out to the polls again...? Some of us have to work for a living. God forbid everyone, including our leaders, just do their jobs well...
It's confusing to some folks
you think politicians who win by majorities are good guys?
Ranked choice voting is confusing and an excuse for fraud.
Holy shiiit. The media is ruthless.
havent you seen what theyre DOing to Trump since 2015 ? Im not suprised
Yeah, it’s not looking pretty. I wouldn’t mind them showing some “Thao supporters” too. Those may be nervous to speak publicly because they probably also received Duong money.
If true, this is absolutely awful. People shouldn’t have to stoop so low to win a seat. We need smart and intelligent people with strong leadership skills, emotional intelligence and integrity. This is going too far to manipulate people into voting. This should also serve as a lesson to all of us to do our research. Read, pay attention to what and who we vote for.
$75,000 to send out some flyers, and they didn't pay the printer...someone was getting paid, lol. Scumbags all the way down in Oakland.
Nothing like imported third world politics
Better than inbred trailer trash morals 😂
I thought I was the only one that thought that.😅😅
You voted in one democrat and want to replace with another. How many times you want to do this Oakland?
Oakland forever have been under DemonRats!
The thing is. Would he had stoped the Juneteenth shooting?
No! lol
Let's be realistic here: Would ANYONE have stopped the Juneteenth shooting? Would the Police--who would be the first to be tasked with that responsibility--have stopped the shooting? Again, let's be realistic here. It's not a matter of party; it's a matter of morals and integrity. Period.
@@reeselovett7453 that’s what ppl are pointing to my friend.
I don’t let fliers change my decision for voting 🎉
Good for you. Think about the areas they were sent, not all of Oakland
Sheng Thau is fleecing the bay area . LOL
Renia Webb knows where all the political bodies are buried
srsly
ANYTHING TO INCITE VIOLENCE BETWEEN RACES SO AMERICA FALLS. DONT FALL FOR IT!!! PROPAGANDA AND AN ATTEMPT TO INCITE HATRED. LOVE, REMEMBER, LOVE....IS OUR ONLY ANSWER. THIS SOLUTION WAS GIVEN TO US IN THE BOOK 1984. LOVE AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR NEIGHBOR. LOVE YOUR ENEMY. ITS OUR ONLY CHANCE.
Less people read your comment because of all CAPS 😂
Ummm yes, and route out the corruption.
Someone is angry!
This case seems like a distraction!
Precisely your so very right
