The article ‌highlights the crisis faced by Los Angeles Mayor⁤ Karen Bass amid devastating wildfires‌ in the area. ‌Despite prior warnings of high winds and the impending ⁢fires, bass was‍ away in Ghana and returned only after⁢ the fires began. She ‍faced critically important public backlash for her absence and was criticized for her inadequate responses⁤ during press conferences. An incident that attracted ‍particular outrage was when she was pictured smiling with firefighters while the destruction continued around her, prompting public disdain and accusations of insensitivity. Critics, including prominent figures such as actress Justine Bateman, voiced their ‍disapproval of her demeanor during such a tragic event. The article suggests that Bass’s handling of ⁢the situation has severely damaged her reputation, leading many to question her‌ competence and ⁤commitment as mayor during a critical time when lives and homes were lost.

Could Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass do more damage to her reputation if she actively tried to?

Despite the fact that high winds were predicted for the Southern California region for days before and after the fires began raging last Tuesday, Bass didn’t return from a trip to Ghana (decidedly outside of her constituency) until Wednesday.

At that point, she didn’t feel she needed to answer for anything:

‘Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent whilst their homes were burning? Do you regret cutting the fire department’s budget?

She was less helpful when she opened her mouth, as well:

Mayor Karen Bass literally just read the words “URL” off her script during the press conference instead of the emergency website for the victims of the fire.

Well, apparently, she’s gotten a bit less shy over the past few days. If only that were a good thing.

In a photo that went viral for all the wrong reasons, Bass is seen smiling with members of the command post for the Hurst fire, which is burning in the San Fernando Valley.

“At the Hurst Fire Command Post, I met Angelenos and business owners donating goods to help firefighters and those impacted by the fire,” she said in an X post Friday evening initially accompanied by the photo.

“Los Angeles WILL get through this.”

As you can see here, Bass’ team decided to delete the photo from a subsequent revision edited on Saturday afternoon:

At the Hurst Fire Command Post, I met Angelenos and business owners donating goods to help firefighters and those impacted by the fire.

Los Angeles WILL get through this.

However, the original version is still up in X’s version history browser for all to see:

And, as you won’t be surprised to know, Angelenos weren’t exactly thrilled to see their mayor smiling as their homes burned, including actress Justine Bateman:

.@MayorOfLA, do you think this is some Thanksgiving Day, food kitchen, feeding-the-homeless moment?
You are stunningly bad at this job. Stunning.
The Palisades (and Altadena) look like a bomb went off. People’s homes were disintegrated. Thousands of displaced citizens are… https://t.co/zhd0Gvqr6C

“Hi, I’m Karen Bass, Kappa Alpha Theta, class of 2026. We’re here at Hurst Fire Command Center to do a fundraiser to end homelessness in our struggling feral cat community…” https://t.co/iSZC0nWrQw

Nor, in fact, was this the only time she’s been caught out smiling inappropriately during this crisis:

Karen Bass is loving the fact that Los Angeles is burning. Just look at her mischievous grin, the knowing smirk on her face, the duper’s delight. https://t.co/nYTQfRDNra pic.twitter.com/5IMG0hj3cj

Let’s point out that 24 people have already been pronounced dead, and over 12,000 homes, businesses, and other structures have been burned to the ground as of Monday, per The Wall Street Journal. The fires are projected to be the costliest ever in American history.

But cheese, everybody! Big smiles! Make Mayor Bass feel like she was still on her junket back in Ghana. Heaven knows she thinks she’s earned a break.

At this point, one wonders whether Bass is deliberately trying to get out of another term or get herself recalled, or whether the disinterest in the unelected class just comes naturally for Democrats. My guess is the latter, although Bass’ let-them-cake response to this crisis makes one curious whether the two are mutually exclusive.

Whatever the matter, Bass has made a fine case for her being the worst big-city mayor in America over the past week. Given how many far-left Democrats are in those positions, that takes some talent — probably the only time that’ll ever be said about Karen Bass.
