At this point, you kind of wonder whether the citizens of Los Angeles want Mayor Karen Bass back in Ghana.<\/p>\n

As you may recall, the prominent California Democrat \u2014 former head of the Congressional Black Caucus during her time in the House of Representatives and a potential veep pick<\/a> for Joe Biden in 2020 before her fondness for Fidel Castro and the \u201cChurch\u201d of Scientology derailed her \u2014 was over in the African nation for the inauguration of a new president when the devastating California wildfires that have killed at least 11 as of Saturday morning broke out.<\/p>\n

This was her reaction<\/a> when she returned to the United States on Wednesday:<\/p>\n

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

\u2018Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent whilst their homes were burning? Do you regret cutting the fire department\u2019s budget?
\n@skydavidblevins<\/a> questions the mayor of LA, Karen Bass, as she faces backlash regarding the California wildfires.https:\/\/t.co\/Nkz8onjC7V<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/WwRwp6Imqz<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 Sky News (@SkyNews) January 8, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Wonderful. As it turns out, however, she actually seems more useful to her city when she\u2019s either silent or over in another country.<\/p>\n

According to the New York Post, Bass refused help from the New York Fire Department \u2014 even though the city was willing to pay for airfare to bring firefighters out to Los Angeles. This comes as California Gov. Gavin Newsom is soliciting help from Mexico (por supuesto) to fight the blazes.<\/p>\n

FDNY Commissioner Robert Tucker reportedly made the offer during the week, sources said Friday, with JetBlue volunteering to allow the firefighters free flights to California.<\/p>\n

Mayor Bass\u2019 office denied the report, however.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is false, we have never rejected resources \u2014 LA welcomes any and all help to fight fires,\u201d said Zach Seidl, Los Angeles\u2019 deputy mayor of communications.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, also on Friday, Newsom thanked Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum<\/a> for sending their firefighters to fight the Eaton fire.<\/p>\n

\n

NEW: Firefighters from Mexico are en route to the #EatonFire<\/a> \u2014 joining more than 10,000 personnel already on the ground.<\/p>\n

California is deeply grateful for President @ClaudiaShein<\/a>\u2018s support as we work to suppress the Los Angeles wildfires.<\/p>\n

Our partnership and shared commitment\u2026<\/p>\n

\u2014 Governor Newsom (@CAgovernor) January 10, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cCalifornia is deeply grateful for President @ClaudiaShein\u2019s support as we work to suppress the Los Angeles wildfires,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur partnership and shared commitment to helping communities in need is greatly valued.\u201d<\/p>\n

In other words, while Karen Bass is turning down firefighter help, Gavin Newsom is actively importing it from Mexico. When the optics favor Capt. Hair Gel, you really do need to take a step back and evaluate your leadership ability.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s worth noting, as the Post did, that there might be reasons why Bass thought the FDNY members wouldn\u2019t be a great fit, although they don\u2019t really compute. One of them is that this is a wildfire, something that\u2019s different from most of the training that New York City\u2019s bravest<\/a> receive.<\/p>\n

That being said, firefighters in California are stretched so thin that virtually anyone can help, and they could spell other Los Angeles Fire Department members in fighting fires around urban areas, leaving those closer to home to battle fires that frequently happen on their own terrain.<\/p>\n

Moreover, as she faces veritable mutiny at home \u2014 her own fire chief went on TV to savage Bass<\/a> for budget shortfalls on Friday \u2014 it\u2019s a profoundly bad look for the mayor of the second biggest city in the United States to turn down an offer of assistance from the biggest city, which is what one guesses is the reason behind the denials.<\/p>\n

Never fear, though: California Democrats have made sure the Mexican fire brigades are coming! At this point, you have to wonder whether Karen Bass is actively trying to make a farce of her own leadership for some unknown purpose. From the outside<\/a>, it certainly looks that way.<\/p>\n
