We Know Where Karen Bass Was When the LA County Fires Broke Out. The Story Just Got Worse. – EVOL

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass vowed she wouldn’t leave the country, only to abscond to Ghana for that nation’s presidential inauguration ceremony. She did this when the Los Angeles County fires erupted, knowing conditions for wildfires were ripe days before she left.

Her office would like to claim that she hurried back as quickly as possible when the wildfires became out of control. In truth, during her Ghana stay, as southern California burned, she was at an embassy cocktail reception (via Los Angeles Times):

As the Palisades fire exploded in Los Angeles on Jan. 7, Mayor Karen Bass was posing for photos at an embassy cocktail party in Ghana, pictures posted on social media show.

By the time she departed the gathering for her flight home, massive plumes of smoke were visible across a wide swath of the city.

Bass was in the West African nation as part of a Biden administration delegation to the inauguration of Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama, which she had attended earlier in the day. She traveled abroad on Jan. 4 as the National Weather Service intensified warnings about a coming windstorm and arrived back in Los Angeles at around 11 a.m. on Jan.
