For more than two months, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has faced lacerating criticism over her handling of the Palisades fire — her absence from the country when it erupted, her wobbly public appearances once she returned, even her failure to preserve her text messages.
“This is their strategy: exploit tragedy, distort reality, divide the people. We won’t let them,” Kim wrote in her 1,000-word email. “I ask you to use every communication platform you have to shut down the lies and show we stand with our Mayor.”

“… Kim wrote in her 1,000-word email.”
I think a 4-hour video podcast would have been more effective…
Bass never had responsibility in her whole life.
She was able to survive, and thrive, in Congress by spewing the required woke, racial, democrat party slogans, and made herself into the “African Princess” by being on the foreign relations committee and heading the Africa sub-committee. It was a perfect position for photo-ops, PR and racial-sloganeering.
The fact she wanted to become Mayor of LA, a job required to deal with police, crime, fires, garbage collection and natural disasters shows how stupid she is.
She never realized this political position actually meant being responsible for something.
Those wealthy oligarchs are the ones who support democrats and their policies.
IOW, they got what they paid for.
Bass suck-up, Joanne Kim, chief of staff to City Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson, emails “right-wing billionaires have ‘weaponized’ the Jan. 7 fire, using it to wage a disinformation campaign against the mayor.”
Kim worked on Bass’ 2022 campaign, writing in her 1,000-word email. “This is their strategy: exploit tragedy, distort reality, divide the people. We won’t let them, I ask you to use every communication platform you have to shut down the lies and show we stand with our Mayor.”
Mmmmmm......this is more like Bass’ desperate strategy up close:
A. Disassociate yourself from all responsibility for the loss of homes, possessions and livelihoods.
B Hire a willing dupe to front your irresponsibility.
C. Pay the dupe big, BIG bucks.
IIRC, Miss Bass’ campaign was bankrolled by Hollywood gazillionaire oligarchs such as Jeff Katzenberg and S. Spielberg.
Such utter hypocrisy.
LA Mayor Karen Bass has rightly faced lacerating criticism over her handling of the destructive wildfires
<><>her absence from the country when they erupted,
<><>her wobbly public appearances once she returned from a tax-paid trip to Africa,
<><>her failure to preserve her text messages.-—AKA “destroying evidence” in jailtime lingo.
<><>her blatant refusal to accept any responsibility whatsoever
Bass’ backers are portraying the attacks on her as highly partisan by a “hard-right media apparatus” and “rooted in racism-”-—arguments which offer a glimpse of the political case power-hungry Bass will use to run for reelection,,,,, and seeks to fend off a burgeoning recall.
Bass herself is not above using racism to deflect blame, claiming “hardest hit” by fires are low income and gay people ....when arguments that wealthy homeowners lost everything did not gain traction.
Rick Caruso and Elon Musk caused her to be incompetent.
nice catch
Caruso was/is a businessman who knows how to run things.
Bass' only skill, if you want to call it that, is to have her staff draft bills and to form committees, and blather on at hearings. That is IT.
And the committee woman/bill signer got elected by the stupids of Los Angeles.
Bass was installed just like the POTATUS.
Using a rigged election.
And, until Carney, Deep States haven’t hired the front office appearance types for brains.
Black excellence.
You definitely should qualify. Bass is a socialist libtard above any other characteristic.
No billionaire should have to be mistreated, unless they
broke laws on the books. Leftists can think of many reasons
to take wealthy people’s money. Don’t allow it for a
moment.
Their money is invested and provides jobs and plenty of
taxes to the states and federal governments.
This is Communism on parade, pure and simple.
Redistribution is theft, no matter how great it sounds to
Leftists.
Exactly.
I wonder if MSNBC has ever been referred to as hard-left?
