Karen Bass in her early days as a political activist in Los Angeles. She also spent time in Cuba with the Venceremos Brigade, a socialist revolution group

She rose from being a doctor’s assistant to running one of the largest cities in America.
But today, embattled Karen Bass, 71, is a lightning rod for anger over her handling of historic wildfires that turned huge swaths of Los Angeles into a charred hellscape.
And now her alleged missteps have imperiled her political career and further damaged her crumbling reputation with millions of Angelenos.
Last night, in yet another on-air embarrassment, she was taken to task in front of millions by none other than President Trump.
He admonished her for her poor handling of the fires disaster, telling her to use her power appropriately to get people the help they need.
So far, 27 victims are known to have perished in the fires, fanned by dangerous Santa Ana winds, as authorities continue to sift through mile after mile of horrific devastation searching for human remains.
‘I don't think she'll ever be reelected... I think her political career is over,’ former LA County District Attorney Steve Cooley tells DailyMail.com of the city’s 43rd mayor.
‘The perception of her from residents at this point is such that she can no longer effectively lead the city of Los Angeles. She's lost the public's trust and importantly, their respect.’
Cooley, who served as DA from 2000 to 2012, states that there is an understandable wave of sentiment to have Bass ejected from the Mayor’s office but that such a move would be an uphill battle.
He added there was already a wave of city-wide antipathy towards Bass before the historic fires which he blames on her decision to prioritize DEI issues rather than focusing on hiring qualified candidates to key departments.

I watched Bass sit there and lie to President Trump....on National television, too.
Kicking bass and taking down names.
The Democrat Party is built mainly around one purpose — to become the only political party.
Coming in a close second is the purpose of robbing the taxpayers to enrich themselves and their cronies.
She thought the mayor gig was like being in congress with unlimited money to fund your pet causes and nothing more to do than complain about the executive.
She will find a promotion somewhere in retard land
So they’ll just vote for another Democrat.

Her socialist brigade was training in Marxism and bomb making.
No wonder Obama ‘came out’ to support her so much.
ChiComs know to destroy America they don’t need to fire a shot. Just get Democrats elected.
It was basically like the Baader-Meinhof Gang.
Swap out the delta smelt with the feckless bass on the endangered list.
She lied to Trump’s face when she told him her constituents were absolutely able to start clearly debris from their ruined homes. I can hear it now -— “No, you cannot disturb debris. It will pollute the surrounding atmosphere. No, you cannot transport the debris. It will damage our roads. No, you cannot dump debris. It will pollute the land. No, you cannot do any of that without the proper permits. No, you cannot obtain permits. There is a three year wait list on permits.”

Kamala Harris, Gavin Newsom and Karen Bass. Thank those three California Democrats for exposing to the entire world how radical and totally incompetent the Democrat Party is at governing at the national, state and city levels.
“Swap out the delta smelt with the feckless bass on the endangered list.”
I really like that :)
Newsom was not in that fire house. He’s smarter than Bass.
Why is she always smiling that Joker like smile? It’s almost as if she knows nothing is going happen to her. And she’s probably right.
She is exactly the type of self-important ideologue who we should guard against holding any government position.
