"Yet the best zinger of the night did not come from any of the candidates, but from KQED's co-moderator Marisa Lagos. When pressing Farrell on his many campaign finance scandals that seem to border on being outright illegal, Farrell insisted that ‘Every single thing that I have ever done with my campaigns has been approved, vetted by, and signed off by my attorneys.’ To which Lagos shot back, ‘That doesn't mean it's necessarily legal though!’ The audience howled with laughter, and the retort clearly threw Farrell off."
"Breed took heavy fire for corruption trouble too, notably the criminal sentences of her good friends Mohammed Nuru and former SFPUC chief Harlan Kelly. Lagos asked Breed very pointedly, ‘Are you willing to hold your friends accountable?’ Breed turned this into a dig at her opponents, saying that the work of these scandal-tinted departments... helped people who don’t have angel investors, or weren’t born with silver spoons in their mouth."
