While stumbling through a press conference on Wednesday, embattled Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass told residents fleeing from deadly wildfires to find help at “URL.”
She didn’t say the web address. She actually said “URL.”
More than 30,000 Californians have been forced to evacuate their homes as out-of-control wildfires rage, reducing whole neighborhoods to ashes. Meanwhile, LA’s failing mayor was out of the country in Ghana; then it was revealed she cut $17 million dollars from the fire department budget; now she can’t properly provide safety information to her constituents.
And becaus eof a water shortage, the fire hydrants have run dry.
“If you need help, emergency information, resources, and shelter is available. All of this can be found at URL,” Bass said as she read from a script.
“Food, water, medicine, a bag packed and ready again, this is an active situation, and conserve water to the extent that you can. We want to make sure that we are ready if we need more water,” she added.
“This firestorm is the big one,” she said.
Bass was blasted on X for failing to meet the moment. Account Breaking911 said “FIRE THIS DUMBASS NOW.”
CAN'T MAKE THIS UP! Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is going all Joe Biden, not knowing what she's saying!
They didn't write the web address in her script (that she's stumbling on) and told everyone where to get help from: "All of this can be found at URL"

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk said “This is the perfect picture of the incredible levels of incompetence ravaging Los Angeles right now.”

Conservative commentator Greg Price said “I think we have a new winner for most incompetent politician in America.”
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.

Sky News reporter David Blevin tried to get a statement from Bass Wednesday night as multiple wildfires rage across the Golden State.
“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?” Blevins asked as Bass waited to deplane after returning from Ghana.
“Have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today?” he added.
Bass remained silent, refusing to answer Blevins questions.
“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?”
JUST IN: Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass freezes up while getting absolutely skewered by a reporter for her horrible policies.
This is exactly how these people should be treated.
