WATCH: LA Mayor Karen Bass Cornered In Airport By Reporter … Here’s Here Reaction
Will she hold herself to the same standard she wanted Ted Cruz held to?
With the California wildfires an international story, Mayor Karen Bass is trying to get home from her trip to Africa before everything burns to the ground.
It is absolutely critical that leaders be present and available in a time of crisis. Here’s what she said about Ted Cruz, who she chastised as a Senator for being in Mexico during a cold snap that resulted in serious power outages and general chaos in affected parts of Texas a a result of non-winterized parts of the power grid unable to handle below-freezing temperatures.
Of course, as a Sentaor, he had no direct role in ANY of the power management or restoration efforts of Texas, nor oversight of those responsible. That notwithstanding, she made it clear that politicians should never be given the benefit of the doubt and a crisis is 100% a legitimate time to become political when it can be used to damage a political opponent.
In that case, you’d think, while rushing home from a trip to Ghana, with the fire already raging for days now, Karen Blass would breathe a sigh of relief at the presence of a reporter. It would be an opportunity for her to give reassuring words to a frightened population, to show she’s on the job, and the backdrop of the airport would remind everyone that she’s coming home to help her city in its hour of need.
Skynews caught up with her, and posted this video on X.
‘Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent whilst their homes were burning? Do you regret cutting the fire department’s budget?

She was asked some legit journalistic questions by the Australian reporter, including: ‘have you abolutely nothing to say to the citizens who are living through this disaster?’ ‘No apology’ ‘should have you been visiting Ghana while this was unfolding back home’?
She ran like a scared rabbit. The journalist was asking critical questions about the funding she herself just cut from the fire department budget.
When she finally DID make it home to face the press, she didn’t exactly prove Elon wrong in his allegations that she’s an incompetent. She had a Biden-esque teleprompter moment:
CAN'T MAKE THIS UP! Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is going all Joe Biden, not knowing what she's saying!
They didn't write the web address in her script (that she's stumbling on) and told everyone where to get help from: "All of this can be found at URL"

She was warned last month that they didn’t have the budget needed to respond to this kind of catastrophe.

And it isn’t as if wildfires are some kind of an unknown issue in California.
