Election 2019: GOP San Francisco mayoral candidate erects 'blatantly racist and sexist' billboard.

A Republican candidate to become mayor of San Francisco is under fire after erecting a billboard attacking incumbent London Breed.

GOP candidate Ellen Lee Zhou's cartoon billboard depicts Breed, a black woman, in a red dress with her feet up on an executive desk, while holding a cigar and counting cash. A thought bubble extending from Breed shows homeless individuals with numbered signs.

The billboard also includes an image of a man carrying away a girl with money in his hand, with the message “Stop slavery and human trafficing (sic) in SF” and “Vote Ellen Zhou Nov. 5th for Mayor.”

Breed told reporters Monday that she was “pretty shocked” by the billboard’s depiction.
