As if 7 hours and 22 speakers wasn't enough, they needed a boy from the barrio to be there as well.
Read about how a pro-communist, ultra radical "MEChista" named Tony Villar cut his hair, changed his name, put on a tie, and became the mayor of America's second largest city.
This is the start - at a higher level - of a continuation and the voters of LA knew exactly what they were voting for when they elected him.
How is speaking at Rosa Parks' funeral part of his official duties? How about he pays for it out of his own private pocket?
It would be different if the president or other national leader went, but he's just a lousy mayor! Of a truly crappy city (I was there last year and hated the place - it's dirty, smoggy, and you can't even find anyone in a gas station or convenience store that speaks English - in fact, now that I think about it, it's basically just like some 3rd world nation).
Why doesn't the Mayor have to reimburse the full amount it would cost to use a private jet?
Lonesharks allied with far-left Democrats? I bet Ameriquest doesn't give out "social" loans.
Let me write a more likely scenario:

In what way is this one of his official duties?
That is because AmeriQuest is itching to refinance California.
