LA Mayor: I'm Investigating Why I Was 'Allowed' to Go AWOL
[HotAir] Ladies and gentlemen, may I present to you... progressive 'leadership' in a nutshell. Said nutshell provided by Southern California's leading progressive nut, in fact.

Elex Michaelson, a reporter for Fox's Los Angeles affiliate, sat down with Mayor Karen Bass to discuss the many failures around the devastating wildfires that left thousands homeless. Bass insists that she is investigating all of the failures, including why she was "allowed" to go to Ghana as weather services and the LA Fire Department sent out warnings of potential disaster:

Michaelson asked specifically about her decision to leave for Ghana, even with warnings about the dangerous situation developing. Bear in mind that Bass had pledged during the 2022 campaign never to leave the state during her time in office, let alone the country. She broke that pledge while receiving warnings about the potential for disaster, which Bass acknowledges while attempting to downplay it.

So why did she leave? Apparently, Bass won't answer that herself, but claims to be investigating why she was 'allowed' to do so: # id) ?>

1 "Fundamentally non-serious" choice. One of these days we'll stop this nonsense.

2 Interesting when the independent and strong female declares "I'm not responsible for my choices and actions".

3 Because you paid off enough interests to be given an invitation.

Personally, I'd like to see the Ghana guest list, as little miss 3 a.m. wasn't the only US public official in attendance.

4 Nero fiddled while Rome burned, Bass plucked the seperewa and said fiddlesticks to her constituents.
