This is outrageous. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stood in complete silence when a reporter was asking her questions about the wildfires that have turned parts of her county into a hellscape.
The reporter asked questions about whether she had regrets about being in Ghana while this was unfolding, or if she regretted cutting the budget for the fire department, or if she even had something to say to the people suffering under this horrific fire.
Complete and awkward silence. Nada.
SHAMEFUL: LA Mayor Karen Bass refuses to answer questions as her city burns to the ground
“Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent while their homes were burning? Do you regret cutting the fire department's budget?”pic.twitter.com/CeYWlEb5QX
