Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass refused to answer questions on Wednesday when pressed about the raging wildfires causing mass evacuations and total devastation in the Golden State.
Not only has Bass been in Ghana, but multiple reports indicate she cut more than $17 million dollars from the fire department budget this year.
“Do you owe citizens and apology for being absent while their homes were burning, and do you regret cutting the Fire Department budget by millions of dollars madame mayor?” Sky News reporter David Blevins asked as Bass waited to deplane.
“Have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today?” he added.
Bass froze — refusing to answer for her absence.
“No apology for them? Do you think you should have been visiting Ghana while this was unfolding back home?” he said.
“Madam mayor, let me ask you just again, have you anything to say to the citizens today as you return?”
Blevins told Bass that Elon Musk called her “utterly incompetent.”
