New images of LA Mayor Bass at a cocktail party as fires began spark fury on both sides of the aisle

Photos of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass living it up in Ghana, Africa while the Palisades fire broke out are prompting more outrage.

While Californians evacuated, leaving their homes and businesses behind with the hope that there might be something to return to, Bass had traveled abroad. According to the Los Angeles Times, “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 left America while the National Weather Service “intensified warnings about a coming windstorm” and finally touched back down in America nearly 24 hours after the fires had started making their way across the state.

“A spokesperson for the mayor said the U.S. Ambassador to Ghana hosted the reception for the delegation before the group departed for the United States on a military plane,” the outlet reported. “Bass spent most of the party making calls in a separate room, he said.”

Photos from the gathering have enraged those on both sides of the aisle.

Even left-leaning voices are calling out Bass:
