Bass: There Were Warnings About Fire I ‘Wasn’t Aware Of’
Breitbart ^ | Feb 19, 2025 | Ian Hanchett

Posted on 02/19/2025 6:39:24 PM PST by ransomnote

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.”

But...but...but you’re the elected mayor. You’re supposed to be aware of Santa Ana winds coming and the extremely dry brush is ready to burn and on top of that, nobody has any water. It’s your yob, mahn.

“Somebody needs to tell this idiot to stop talking.”
Yes. She is truly inept.
She and Kamala are tied for the Empty Cranium Prize.
You know what that says about their supporters……

As if she would have done anything anyway. She is in it to get even with “the man” enrich herself, and empty the city coffers.

It was her job to be aware of these things. She’s incompetent.

Bass makes Harris look like a genius. Harris cans speak twice as many words as Bass and say half as much while doing so.

I say Harris/Bass for Governor/Lt. Governor of California!

Los Angeles loser-—Democrat dope Karen Bass-—posted fire warnings
on her official X account on Jan 6-—before she took a tax-paid junket to Africa.

Trying like hell to save her mayoral ***, she now says she “wasn’t
aware” of conditions that led to the devastating Fires on January 7.

Bass abandoned LA to its fiery fate while she sap-happily junketed
to Ghana, and was getting her ego stroked when the disaster happened.

Bass is so desperate she blames her own appointee-——lesbian Fire Chief
Kristin Crowley-—saying that Crowley had not “prepared her” for the disaster.

Bass was all smiles in Africa receiving awards, attending
cocktail parties, while LA residents were losing everything.

Actress Justine Bateman speaks better then any CA politician.
“If you can’t cover the basics, get out of our city! You are useless to us, you are a liability and you have destroyed people’s lives, because you didn’t do your job. You didn’t do what you were hired for, you didn’t do what we pay you for, and you should resign out of shame and responsibility for the people whose lives you destroyed right now.”

Bateman went on to say that these politicians, such as Gov. Gavin Newsom and L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, are so incompetent they don’t even have the capacity to understand how incompetent they are.”


$400,000 salary for one fire chief and $799,000 for the DWP woman who is one of those responsible for no water to the fire hydrants.

Bass: To travel to Ghana with Members of the Congressional Black Caucus led by the Speaker, the most powerful woman in America, says a great deal about the historical ties between our countries and reaffirms our commitment to Ghana and to the continent of Africa. We have returned.

Bass, left, was basking in the glory of being
w/ pelousy and the Black Caucus nitwits in African garb.

Her LA constituents were losing everything.

Someone reported that he specifically had warned this retard about the threat of possible fires due to high winds in the forecast. (I’m pretty sure it was a meteorologist in CA.) That was before her trip.
