Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing backlash after defending homeless drug addicts and justifying their drug abuse by claiming drugs are used to “stay sane,” and that methamphetamine protects homeless people.
“You sleep out on the street for a couple of weeks and tell me that you’re not using something to stay sane or using meth to so that you don’t go to sleep to protect yourself,” she said as if meth use is obviously used for the purpose of safety.
The comment came during a City Hall press conference on Wednesday.
Later, when a reporter said, “You said that people are on the street using meth for protection,” Bass lashed out and denied ever saying such a thing.
