YouTube Description
as posted by the channelEmbattled Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has offered a mind-boggling excuse for being 7,500 miles away in Ghana as her city was consumed by wildfires — blaming others for not telling her she “shouldn’t have gone on the trip.”
Bass claimed she wasn’t alerted to the widely shared warnings of the wildfire risk as she flew to Africa on behalf of the Biden administration.
“We need to look at everything about the preparation and all of that for the fires … I think when we evaluate that, we will find that although there were warnings, that I frankly wasn’t aware of…,” Bass told Fox 11 before noting the city’s preparation “wasn’t what it typically is.”
“That level of preparation didn’t happen,” she added, blaming everyone but herself. “If it had, I wouldn’t have even gone to San Diego, let alone leave the country.”
