As Twitchy reported Wednesday night, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass had absolutely nothing to say to a Sky News reporter who cornered her at the airport as she returned to her burning city from Ghana. She did hold a press conference on Thursday and made it clear that her current focus is on saving lives—that’s her priority.
