During a portion of an interview with FOX 11 Los Angeles released on Tuesday, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stated that “there were warnings, that I, frankly, wasn’t aware of” before the fires in the city.
Bass said, “We need to look at everything about the preparation and all of that for the fires, because, I think, when we evaluate that, we will find that, although there were warnings, that I, frankly, wasn’t aware of, although there were warnings, I think our preparation, it wasn’t what it typically is. Meaning that, before there’s a major weather event, for example, last week, when we knew we were going to get into the rains, you saw us come together and us talk about get your sandbags, bring the K-rails out, that type of preparation didn’t happen. If that had, I will tell you, Elex, I wouldn’t have even gone to San Diego, let alone leave the country.”
Host Elex Michaelson then asked, “But what do you mean there were warnings you weren’t aware of? Because I know we were talking about it on the news. A lot of people were talking about the problems, warning that this was going to be a huge deal.”

Wrong, she should be encouraged to talk.
The people that voted for her are dumber than she is ... There is no way for any of them to be embarrassed ... All her babbling does is frame herself a ‘victim’... when in fact she is stuck on stupid. She is not a victim...
The actual mayor was keeping me in the dark.
“that I, frankly, wasn’t aware of,
Her office distributed a warning for the potential for extremely high winds before she left town. If she didn’t know, who is running the mayor’s office?

That’s what happens when you go on vacation out of the country, and your trip is paid for by the taxpayers.
Maybe this guy will do. Yeah, blame it all on him. He probably didn’t raise the alarm in time. Or something.
