Sky News reporter David Blevins grilled Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass on live TV about her handling of the wildfires, accusing her of being absent and cutting the fire department's budget.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was confronted Wednesday on live TV over her response to a trio of wildfires tearing through the Greater Los Angeles area. 'Do you owe citizens an apology for being absent while their homes were burning?' Sky News reporter David Blevins asked Bass during the confrontation. 'Do you regret cutting the fire department's budget by millions of dollars, Madam Mayor ? Have you nothing to say today?'Bass remained silent while Blevins pelted her with more questions.
'Have you absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today?' he pressed. 'Elon Musk says that you are utterly incompetent. Are you considering your position? Madam Mayor, do you have absolutely nothing to say to the citizens today who are dealing with this disaster? No apology for them? Do you think you should have been visiting Ghana while this was unfolding back home?', Newsweek reached out to a spokesperson for Bass for comment via email.Watch the interaction on X (formerly Twitter): This story is developing and will be updated as more information becomes available
