Karen Bass Claims She ‘Wasn’t Aware’ of Warnings She Posted About on X the Day Before
Breitbart ^ | 02/19/2025 | Joel B. Pollak

Posted on 02/19/2025 5:54:55 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said Tuesday that she “wasn’t aware” of warnings about the extreme winds that led to the devastating Palisades Fire on January 7, but she posted those warnings on her official X account on January 6.

Bass gave her first television interview since the fire to Elex Michaelson of Los Angeles-area Fox affiliate KTTV-11.

Bass left the country for Ghana before the fire and was there when the disaster happened — a “mistake,” she now says.

In the interview, Bass returned to blaming Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley, saying that Crowley had not notified her about the potential for a disaster and had not prepared for the disaster as on previous occasions.

I fully believe that she wasn’t aware of the warnings. She strikes me as more of a complete, total, incompetent idiot than a liar. This is what you voted for, Los Angeles.

But we're not supposed to notice. Trump should put the pressure on her and Newsom. "You'll get federal aid when i see permits given out and construction begins."

She wasn't aware? Is that not a qualifying criterion to hold a RAT office? The last two RAT potus' we had were not aware. The last two RAT vice potus' we had were not aware.

I think it's in their DNA. Every RAT I know similarly has their head up their backside. It's a rule.

“She is one stupid broad”

An ideal Democrat. Even if by some odd chance she doesn’t get re-elected, Democrats will find someone worse. Just look at Chicago.

The stupid, corrupt politicians are a symptom, stupid, indoctrinated voters are the disease.

She is Black. Anything pertaining to Black is more important than the weather in LA

The trip to Uganda was being Black

> Bass returned to blaming Los Angeles Fire Department Chief Kristin Crowley <

Black female mayor vs. white lesbian fire chief. Quite the dilemma for progressives. Whom do you support in this spat? After all, it’s…

I believe her. She's a token hire and her handler is the one who posted for her.

It was one of four scenarios:

A. An underling of her handler unintentionally threw her under the bus by posting and not telling her handler.

B. Her handler intentionally threw her under the bus, by posting and not telling her the significance of it and that she shouldn't travel.

C. Her handler is as ignorant as she is and inadvertently threw her under the bus, by posting without realizing the significance of it.

D. Her handler warned her not to travel and she overrode her handler's suggestion because she's a textbook case of Dunning-Kruger.

Karen, how about just ‘splaining your way out of it, with something like “What can be, unburdened by what has been”?

LA got what they deserved through what they voted in.

When you inject your body with a cancerous, festering pustule filled with hatred, idiocy and a hatred of what America stands for, you need to ride the wave of your own stupidity and self destruction.

SHE WAS IN GHANA FOR CHRISSAKES. WHY ON THE TAXPAYER’S DIME WAS SHE THERE.

She is not as stupid as people are giving her credit for.

Whatever the fire destroyed will be sold off to developers because California law requires a portion of "new" construction to be essentially section 8 housing.

She wants bribes, kickbacks, and increased taxes. As Mayor, she will see funds dumped into her "campaign fund." She is following the democRAT playbook.

Before we assume these grifters are stupid, we should first assume they are corrupt. Acting stupid disarms detractors and can hide corruption.

They are smart enough to know how stupid the voters are.
