A Gen Z activist who describes himself as “the last Republican in San Francisco” said he’s a “victim of corrupt, far-left Democrats” running the city.
“It seems as if local leaders and local news are working together to kind of just sweep this under the rug and pretend as if everything is fine and dandy when, in all actuality, thousands of people are dying from fentanyl,” Darren Mark Stallcup told Fox News.

The 26-year-old Bay Area native documents tent-lined streets, people appearing to overdose or behave erratically under the influence of drugs, violent altercations and crime in San Francisco through Twitter videos. Several months ago, the drug crisis became personal for Stallcup, when he says his cousin Scottie overdosed on fentanyl-laced marijuana.
“They just came and picked his body up off Church Street, and my family has yet to hear an apology from Mayor London Breed,” Stallcup said, adding that local leaders are at least “partially to blame.”
“Everyone’s aware fentanyl comes from China and then across the southern border, but what are local leaders doing about it?” he asked.

“I have had several people reach out to me over social media and say, ‘Who cares what’s happening in San Francisco? We voted for this,’” Stallcup said.
“I did not vote for this,” he continued. “I’m a conservative. I care about women and children, law and order, the safety of our community.”
