‘Lying’ LA Mayor Karen Bass accused of gaslighting to ‘protect’ gangbangers after FBI MacArthur Park raid

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has been accused of gaslighting residents while “protecting” violent gangbangers — after the feds took down several members of the city’s largest gang in a daring, heavily-armed raid near MacArthur Park on Thursday.

The embattled leader previously blasted a federal operation in July, which saw immigration agents descend on the troubled park to root out MS-13 gangbangers and open-air drug markets, calling it “outrageous” and “un-American.”

She also insisted at the time that MacArthur Park, which has long been plagued by gang activity, homelessness and drug addicts overdosing on fentanyl, was a beloved children’s sanctuary. “Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through,” Bass ranted on X, posting a time-lapse video of the agents marching across an empty soccer field inside the park.

Bass and Tlaib have the most ugly gaping maws I have ever seen in my 60 years.

Ugly inside and out.
Wretched souls.

I visited MacArthur Park last summer but the pastrami sandwich that I had at Langer's Delicatessen across the street didn't leave any room for cake. The once-beautiful park has become a dump. The garden around the statue of Gen. Douglas MacArthur is apparently being used as an open latrine, and I couldn't stand the smell as I walked past.

Langer's, an LA institution, has threatened to close because of the crime and homeless encampments, and I don't blame them.
