She’s a politician who cringes at having her picture taken and is content to let others grab headlines. She repeatedly had to be dragged into taking risks to elevate her political career.
In many ways, Karen Bass is the anti-Kamala Harris.
And yet, the Californians have ended up in a similar spot: On Joe Biden’s vice presidential shortlist.
While the congresswoman from Los Angeles remains a long shot, her unassuming approach, muted ambitions and decades of advocating on health care and race issues while far outside the national spotlight have captured the interest of the Biden campaign.
A former physician assistant and nurse who now heads the Congressional Black Caucus, Bass has seen her profile rise of late amid the twin crises of the coronavirus pandemic and national reckoning with racism. Her standing in the VP search has improved based on private assessments shared with Biden’s team.
“The reason she’s gone from a name bandied about to a serious contender is because the more you look at her, the more you realize what a perfect choice for the time she is,” said former Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. He started working alongside Bass in the early 1970s to coalesce Black and Latino activists around curbing police abuse and expanding immigrant rights.

Woo wee is she coyote fugly! My cell phone screen just cracked
Someone who’s actually a worse candidate than Kamala!
Where is her house?
Karen Bass is Exhibit A1 of America’s woke, debt-fed, corrupt political economy
Raised a communist, has never repudiated her marxist ideals. Never had a real job. Became a congresswoman for a welfare district, gained fame by distributing printed, fiat money and government debt.
Jumped on the race-mongering bandwagon. Became head of Congressional Black Caucus, wormed her way into Congressional foreign-relations committee head of “Africa and development sub-committee.”
And now used her connections to run for Mayor of LA, a woke ideological post if ever there was one.
I didn’t think someone would out ugly Maxine Waters, but she’s definitely right up there.
Yes actually worse than Harris.
With her and Kammy on the list, it speaks volumes to how bizarre the Democrat political minds work.
Bass was a trained Marxist who brought students to Cuba for decades Lee ring Marxism and bomb making.
Was this a “long game” destroy America move by Castro etc.?
Or just Democrat incompetence?
It’s difficult to distinguish the outcomes of terrorism and leftists.
Yet another pol dumb enough to protect Brandon from invoking the 25th Amendment.

I guess burning out white people was part of her “advocacy”.

Translation: She's an experienced race-hustling poverty pimp.
The slobbering praise from Politico for this DEI moron reads pretty funny now.
‘Gross Mismanagement’: Petition for Urgent Recall of L.A.’s Democrat Mayor Karen Bass Hits 59,150 Signatures
She’s going to be the next Governor.
She has most of the same qualities as Harris except she wasn’t on Willie Brown’s staff.
“She’s going to be the next governor.”
That’s why she also is signing the the petition in the above post so she can move up.
Bass was in Ghana for the installation of a leftist president part of a political party that was Marxist and first came to power as part of a coup in the 1960s.
She was also part of a far-left group that brought youth to Castro’s Cuba to be trained in Marxism and bomb making.
Obama backed her - of course - in Los Angeles and said she’d be a “great mayor.”
Mission accomplished!
