Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass compared the impact of federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids to the coronavirus lockdowns that her party imposed on California, in that both kept people at home.
Bass made the comparison over the weekend in visits to small businesses in a neighborhood that, the Los Angeles Times, depended on the “immigrant” economy (the Times never used the word “illegal).
The Times reported:
Bass visited a number of small businesses in Boyle Heights with Assemblymember Mark Gonzalez (D-Los Angeles), including Casa Fina, Distrito Catorce, Yeya’s and Birrieria De Don Boni, as well as the Estrada Courts public housing project, where Bass and Gonzalez both said residents were reluctant to come outside of their homes for a Father’s Day celebration.
“It’s the uncertainty that continues that has an absolute economic impact. But it is pretty profound to walk up and down the streets and to see the empty streets, it reminded me of COVID,” Bass told The Times on Sunday afternoon.
Bass said restaurant operators in Boyle Heights told her current circumstances were actually worse than what they had faced during COVID-19, because unlike during the pandemic, there had been no ensuing bump in to-go orders. She hypothesized that the issue was compounded by the fact that many people were not going in to work, meaning they didn’t have disposable income to eat out.

Fidiocy personified.
Look at the people she partnered with.

Karen bASS is a moron!..........................
Drop a couple of those rapist murderer illegals off at her house.
These insurrectionists and criminal-illegal-alien-lovers are pathetic and brain-addled. If your USA “community” is infected with illegals, that community needs to be cleansed of these criminals.
I guess breaking federal laws means nothing to these degenerate “leaders” like bASS.
ILLEGALS OUT !!!
Yeah, those compare much like potatoes and ball bearings.
Since liberal Democrats liked the COVID lockdowns, she must be approving of the ICE raids then.
And that's an insult to a rock! Rocks are more useful and better looking...
Either that or someone told her to sit on her thumb and spin and she took them literally.
;-/
Grasping at narrative straw when those straws exist only in her head. This is called fantasy delusion and is a scream for long term medical intervention.
One is a use of sovereign power to protect the nation from its enemies. The other is the debasement of sovereign power, handing it over to those who have nothing to do with the security of the people for their own purposes.
Ah, the pleasure of hearing verbal excrement from one of California’s N glittering jewels of colossal ignorance (where N is a large number).
Wow, what a moron.
Is she suggesting that both are good for us?
Karan Bass compared to a pile of steaming sht...
Agreed. Dems loved the Covid lock downs. A great talking point on Gutfield maybe?
Karen Bass aka Karen Asshole
Not comparable in any way, shape, or fashion!
