Calls continue to grow for the resignation of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass as photos surfaced online showing her living it up at a cocktail party in Ghana as warnings of the "fast-moving" Palisades wildfire had already been issued.
The photos, first discovered by the Los Angeles Times, were posted by Marissa Bowman, a city staffer. They show Bass posing for photos at the party, which the newspaper was able to timestamp via one image in which another partygoer's watch was visible.
Bass was still in attendance at the cocktail party even as the city’s emergency management department warned on X about "a fast-moving brush fire situation in the Palisades Hills area” and "thick smoke was visible from across the city."
Bowman appears to have scrubbed the cocktail party reception photos that were posted to her LinkedIn page, though a handful can still be accessed via an internet archive, including one with Bass posing beside her.
It's good to see that the Mayor can go to another country and party while her city is burning to the ground. Even the far-left L.A. Times is admitting it was a mistake to endorse her, which it of course was.
But I know, I know, mean tweets. The American people want refunds and handcuffs for these crooks.
