Karen Bass struggles to read script during presser on Los Angeles fires<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass held a press conference on Thursday morning to brief the public on the ongoing wildfires raging out of control in her city and the greater LA area.<\/p>\n

Several fires are currently burning in Los Angeles with near zero percent containment.<\/p>\n

Gusty Santa Ana Winds and dry fire hydrants are making it nearly impossible for firefighters to contain the fire.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

LA\u2019s incompetent and corrupt Mayor, Karen Bass, was actually in Africa when the fires exploded in her city.<\/p>\n

Karen Bass\u00a0slashed\u00a0<\/a>Fire Department funding by $17.6 million a few months before the fires erupted on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Mayor Bass once again botched an emergency relief website while reading her prepared remarks.<\/p>\n

Los Angeles\u2019 DEI Mayor Karen Bass is ONCE AGAIN showing how incompetent she is<\/p>\n

She just botched a relief website again while reading a prepared script word for word, like a 3rd grader presenting a book report<\/p>\n

And there\u2019s practically ZERO substance.<\/p>\n

A reporter pointed out to Karen Bass that he had watched homes burn down, and there were no firetrucks anywhere to be seen.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy number one focus\u2026is that we have to protect lives, we have to save lives, and we have to save homes. Rest assured \u2014\u201d Karen Bass said.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a little too late for that. More than 1,000 homes burned down, several people are dead and 2,000 structures have been reduced to ashes.<\/p>\n

The reporter interrupted Karen Bass: \u201cBut that did not happen!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cLet me finish!\u201d Karen Bass said lashing out at the reporter.<\/p>\n

REPORTER: What explains this lack of preparation and rapid response?<\/p>\n

LA MAYOR KAREN BASS: My number one focus\u2026is that we have to protect lives, we have to save lives, and we have to save homes. Rest assured \u2014<\/p>\n

Karen Bass gaslighted the public and claimed her slashing millions in firefighting funding had no impact on this week\u2019s wildfires.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere were no reductions that would have impacted the situation that we have been dealing with,\u201d Karen Bass said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s most important to understand that we were in tough budgetary times, [and] the impact of our budget really did not impact what we\u2019ve been going through over the past few days,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

This is next-level gaslighting.<\/p>\n

Karen Bass refuses to take any responsibility for her failed policies that contributed to the most destructive fire in history.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday a Sky News reporter cornered Karen Bass and absolutely torched her<\/a>\u00a0over her failed policies.<\/p>\n

Karen Bass was stunned and hung her head in shame as the reporter lambasted her.<\/p>\n

\u2018Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent whilst their homes were burning? Do you regret cutting the fire department\u2019s budget?
