Description

For the first 24 hours of Los Angeles’ wildfire disaster, Mayor Karen Bass was a constant presence on social media, urging Angelenos to flee evacuation zones and announcing her decision to declare an emergency. But Bass herself was far from the city. As flames tore through Pacific Palisades, she was on a diplomatic mission in Africa, there to attend the inauguration of Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama, leaving City Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson as L.A.’s acting mayor when the Palisades fire broke out. Guest hosts Russell Dobular and Keaton Weiss of the Due Dissidence podcast discuss the atrocious optics of the mayor being in a foreign country while a sizable chunk of her city burned to the ground.

You can't own a gas powered weed whacker in CA but a simple Mayor can take a jet 2000 miles away to Ghana for a President's inauguration party.
