Failed L.A. Mayor Karen Bass ignored fire victims but took time to attend Don Lemon’s hearing

In November 2024, a massive fire wiped out 6,831 structures in Pacific Palisades. City leaders later blamed residents for the wildfires and admitted they knew that the Palisades reservoir was empty of water for a year.

There was no water in the hydrants!

A year after the fires thousands of protested in Pacific Palisades after a year of no rebuilding. The citizens carried signs saying, “They let us burn!”

When Mayor Bass left the courthouse where Don Lemon was arraigned, you can hear someone screaming, “F**k You, Karen Bass!”

This was not such a brilliant move. The reaction was brutal.

Would be nice if she showed this much concern for the homeless people waiting for their houses to be rebuilt that she let burn to the ground…

She left her town to burn down.

What on earth is she doing there? LA doesn’t have any issues she needs to be working on?

She’s commenting on Don Lemon while people are still trying to get their fire rebuild permits.
