LA Mayor Karen Bass caught in shocking wildfire 'lie' as campaign to have her fired kicks off

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass' aides were warned about the prospect of wildfires before she jetted off to Ghana on a heavily-criticized trip.

Over a dozen of Bass' aides received an email from LA's Emergency Management Department on January 3 that warned about a 'high confidence in damaging winds and elevated fire conditions occurring next week,' per the Los Angeles Times.

But Bass was never informed about the email, and still went on the trip the next day, staying for the new Ghanaian president's inauguration and a cocktail party at the US embassy on January 7 - the same day the dystopian wildfires broke out.

Bass' absence from the city saw her widely-condemned.  The mayor since sought to pass the buck and terminated the city's fire chief Kristin Crowley for failing to warn her of the fire dangers.

But critics say new evidence of what Bass' team knew before the fires began suggest the mayor is trying to deceive voters and distract attention from the appalling failings of her own office.

City councilmember Monica Rodriguez, who supports former fire chief Crowley said: '(Bass) keeps saying, "I wouldn’t have left had I known." But her staff did know.

'This verifies that her staff was notified of the potential threat by EMD, whose responsibility it is to let us know of these potential weather events.'

A committee comprised mainly of Republicans is now fundraising for a recall election, which could see Bass fired from office.

She needs to get some sun.

The people of Ghana/Africa would not consider her to be Black.
Government officials have to be polite. Regular society does not.
