The Latest: SF mayor doesn't trust group canceling rally

Associated Press 25 August 2017

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The Latest on conservative free speech rallies in San Francisco and Berkeley (all times local):

6:30 p.m.

San Francisco's mayor says he doesn't trust a right-wing group that says it's canceling a rally in the city on Saturday.

Mayor Ed Lee said Friday night that despite organizers saying it's called off, they have not cancelled the event in writing so the city is proceeding as though it's still happening.

Lee says, "We don't trust this group. I never have from the beginning."

He also urged people not to show up at the news conference the group plans to hold instead of the rally, but said police would be there and at the rally site.
