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.”

Everybody in SoCal knew it was fire weather. She must have been out of state.

Typical Democrat ... get elected on huuuuge promises ... screw everything up ... plead ignorance which is standard with them ... find the nearest Republican to ultimately blame for their screw ups.

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...

“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.

Mayor Bass just needs to find some white guy low on the totem pole to blame. She has already tried to blame LA’s fire chief. But the chief is a lesbian, so that certainly won’t stick.

Maybe this guy will do. Yeah, blame it all on him. He probably didn’t raise the alarm in time. Or something.

I think she qualifies as a pathological sick in da brain liar.
She believes her lies.

Visions of Kamala’s word salad are dancing in my head! Kamala must have taught her.

She spoke for several minutes and said nothing! What a fool she is.
