When Karen Bass was elected Mayor of Los Angeles in 2022, voter turnout was around 46%. As a side note, here is her opponent, Rick Caruso, in 2022. Caruso was a former Republican who switched parties because, well… it’s Los Angeles.
Instead, Los Angelinos (or a majority of 46% of them) voted for Karen Bass, a Democrat Congresswoman who was on Joe Biden’s shortlist for vice president. Bass rushed home from a trip to Ghana (which she took knowing LA was experiencing record-breaking winds) to deal with the wildfire crisis. Here, she is addressing reporters.
Whoops, wrong tweet. That’s Bass blasting Ted Cruz, who is not a state official, “abandoning folks” when it snowed in Texas that one time.
Here is Bass deftly handling questions such as “Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent while their homes were burning?,” “Do you regret cutting the Fire Department budget by millions of dollars?,” and “Have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today?”
When the reporter says “millions,” it is more like tens of millions. Bass cut $17 million from the fire department budget to handle LA’s homeless crisis that was caused by the progressive policies Bass advocates for. Also, a homeless crisis where an encampment may or may not have been responsible for starting the first fire that is causing LA to burn to the ground.
Bass isn’t the only incompetent official in the state. Insurance companies have been forced out of the state due to overregulation. Decades of failed Democrat water and forest management policies have led to the fire hydrants NOT HAVE ANY F*CKING WATER IN THEM. And, for some reason I’ve yet to get a good answer to, California is not allowed to collect rainwater.
Like, you know how when it rains water naturally falls from the sky? It is illegal to put out a bucket to collect that water. Something about global changing climate warming.
The scenes coming out of Los Angeles are heartbreaking and terrifying. There are people who live there who I love. They, along with everyone else in the state, deserve better leadership. Maybe this latest example of failed, incompetent progressive policies will be the catalyst for it.
