  • Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was filmed struggling with locked doors at the airport, avoiding questions from reporters regarding her absence during severe wildfires.
  • The city has experienced major wildfires, with five reported fatalities and significant property damage, prompting anger from residents and critics.
  • Critics, including Patrick Soon-Shiong and Rick Caruso, pointed out Bass’s funding cuts to the fire department, which decreased its budget by more than $17 million.
  • Bass defended her trip to Ghana, claiming she maintained active communication with local fire officials while overseas, and addressed criticisms about being out of the country during the crisis.
  • The mayor attributed the fire's severity to extreme weather conditions, stating a combination of negligible rainfall and winds contributed to the rapid spread of the blazes.
