Democrat Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass flew off from her city this past Saturday. As per this report [emphasis added]:
"Her departure coincided with escalating warnings from the the National Weather Service about strong winds and 'critical fire conditions' across Los Angeles. By Tuesday, fires had erupted in Pacific Palisades, Altadena, Malibu, and other regions, causing widespread destruction."
Bass had flown to the African nation of Ghana to attend the inauguration of Ghanian President John Dramani Mahama.
When Bass finally made it back to Los Angeles on Wednesday, a Sky News reporter at the airport asked her repeated questions, specifically whether she owed the residents of LA an apology for her absence. As you'll see here, the questioning continued for 90 seconds, during which Bass utterly stonewalled the reporter, not saying a word.
Morning Joe aired a clip of NBC News correspondent Liz Kreutz "helpfully" saying that Bass had been in Ghana on a "work trip." Wonder how much "work" gets done during inauguration celebrations?
And while Kreutz described the Sky News reporter as having "pressed" Bass, Morning Joe's clip of his interaction with Bass was limited to one question, and didn't last long enough for viewers to understand that Bass had refused to answer.
Instead, Morning Joe immediately cut to a clip of Bass, in some sort of subsequent press gathering, claiming she was directing all resources to the fire.

Here’s a link to the Sky News article with the video of Bass’s 90-second long total stonewall of the reporter.
Why are city funds being wasted on trips to hellholes even worse than L.A..?
Rhetorical question.
The whole philosophy of the Left (especially the Woke version of Progressivism/Maxism) is based on inversions of cause and effect and a denial of reality.
If this is an official trip and paid for by taxpayers it's an abuse of power, plain and simple. This is why we pay such high taxes, our elected officials believe themselves to be royalty, and I for one am sick of it.
Actually, Biden sent her as part of a 4-person “presidential delegation.”
Wonder how much that cost?
Not as much as Kamala's upcoming vacation - these people make be sick.
Are her and Gasbag Pelosi Newhair still Trump proofing Los Angeles?
It was an important trip to gain new technology—because Ghana has state of the art rain dances:

Lol.
Morning Joe cut to a clip of Bass, belatedly returned from Africa partying,
frantically holding some sort of subsequent press gathering.
This move by Bass was last ditch desperation to hang onto her dwindling power......
acting like she was “in charge” all the time, and just returning from “where she left off.”
She claimed she was directing “all resources” to the fire.......a fire that had
already consumed thousands of acres, and homes, and took five lives.
Does she at least do bathrooms???
Mayor Karen Bass reminds me of Kimberly Cheatle (former Director of the Secret Service) and a legion of other DEI hires. Totally incompetent. Hired based solely on their race, gender or sexual orientation.
It’s pervasive.
California loves it’s one party rule, DEI, and woke everything!
Soak it up California, looks like you’re getting what you voted for!
Elections have consequences!!
Just take a look at this Bass”turd”!
Hope all these Ca libs are feelin’ the love!
That video from Sky News will be used against her even by Democrats if she attempts to run for higher office. Whether she knows it or not Karen Bass’s political career is effectively done.
“claiming she was directing all resources to the fire.”
Isn’t water a resource?
L
Morning Joe doesn’t * * * whose, or how many, houses burn down.
Commies Uber Alles, even if commie voters have to suffwer.
The bitch went Full Brandon, for everyone to see. The poster child of a failed ideology and revolution. Proof’s in the pudding, their pudding tastes like shit.
I saw this last night. It looks like she's standing in the circular part of an airport jetway, an unlikely place for reporters to interview someone. I'm not sure the video and the audio go together.
Still, she shouldn't spend L.A. taxpayer money on a trip to Africa.

DECEIT: MORON Joe Edits Out Democrat LA Mayor Stonewalling Reporter
There, fixed it
So she is either too stupid or too arrogant to reply.
Not sure which is worse.
It could be both. Probably is.
