Karen Bass Snaps At Reporter For Questioning Her Leadership Amid Wildfire Disaster
Los Angeles burns while the mayor dodges accountability for failed response.
As Los Angeles faces its worst wildfire disaster in history, Mayor Karen Bass is doing what Democrats do best deflecting blame and refusing accountability. In a heated exchange during a Thursday morning press conference, CBS reporter Jonathan Vigliotti dared to question her leadership failures and Bass snapped.
Vigliotti, who had been covering the devastation firsthand, recounted the chaos and lack of emergency response as hundreds of homes burned to the ground:
“Mayor, L.A. County is in a panic state. It began two days ago with the Palisades fire. My crew and I arrived shortly after it started, and for several hours, we watched as hundreds of homes in the neighborhood burned to the ground and we did not see a single fire engine.”
Rather than owning up to her failures, Bass dodged the question with empty platitudes:
“Rest assured! Let me finish!” she barked when interrupted.
Bass had been absent from Los Angeles when the fires ignited, only returning from a taxpayer-funded trip to Africa after the fires had already begun.
Her poor preparation and lack of resources for firefighters have made the disaster even worse:
Fire hydrants ran dry, leaving first responders scrambling to find water.
Over 10,000 structures have been lost in multiple blazes across Los Angeles County.
Hundreds of thousands have been forced to evacuate, with billions in damages already reported.
When pressed again on whether her leadership was effective, Bass dodged:
“I just said what I believe is the most important thing for us to do right now.”
Translation? No answers, no solutions, no accountability. Just another Democrat mayor who failed her city in a crisis and now refuses to own it.
Los Angeles deserves real leadership not another failed politician making excuses while the city burns.
