Mayor Karen Bass Lied. People in L.A. Died.
“I also would not travel internationally”
When Rep. Karen Bass ran for mayor of one of the largest cities in the country, the only thing she had run before was a community organizer group. Her only qualifications for public office were seniority. She had spent enough time in Congress that she felt entitled to go for it. Around this same time, her more idiotic colleague, Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, tried a mayoral run in Houston and Rep. Barbara Lee intends to try to take over Houston. Biden had raised Bass’ profile by considering her for VP, only to turn her down over her ties to the Castro regime in Cuba. Giving her Los Angeles was a kind of consolation prize.
Some have taken to blaming LA for electing Bass, but even well before the election a lot of celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow and Maria Shriver had gotten off the train and had endorsed Rick Caruso. It didn’t really matter. Caruso won the majority of votes on election night, but then the ballot harvesters poured in their total.
Rep. Bass might not have much experience at running a city, but she had been a longtime member of the network of community groups that excel at voter outreach, voter turnout, and some more dubious stuff.

Along the way, Bass promised to be more moderate, and for a Castro fangirl, she was, which still meant complete mismanagement, an obsession with DEI, and little interest in actually doing the work full-time.
LA Mayor Karen Bass promised voters before being elected that she would not travel abroad — only to be caught gallivanting around Ghana when the worst wildfires in the city’s history broke out last week.
Just a year before she took office, Bass pledged to the New York Times that if elected, “Not only would I of course live here [in Los Angeles], but I also would not travel internationally — the only places I would go would be DC, Sacramento, San Francisco and New York, in relation to LA.”
The former congresswoman was addressing questions about her previous globe-trotting as a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee at the time.
But Bass has since broken that promise at least five times this year alone, including when critics say she skirted her duties back home by recently traveling to Africa for Ghana’s presidential inauguration — as LA’s devastating wildfires broke out.
The Santa Ana winds were a known factor that Bass should have prioritized over a completely unnecessary junket. And reports are that being in Ghana slowed down LA’s emergency declaration, delaying federal aid during a crucial window.
Bass’ Ghana trip may have delayed the response, tangled up resources and ended up costing lives and while the full toll of victims is unknown (it currently stands at 24), quite a few of the named victims in the Altadena area are black. After all the lectures about equity and systemic racism, Bass’ incompetence and entitlement killed black people.
