Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass repeatedly dodged questions about her leadership and alleged lack of initial presence during the ongoing wildfires affecting the area.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has responded to criticism regarding her handling of the city's homelessness crisis, particularly after a recent incident where a homeless man was fatally shot by police. Bass emphasized her commitment to addressing homelessness, stating that her administration has been working tirelessly to move people off the streets and into housing. She highlighted the Inside Safe program, which has housed over 21,000 individuals since its inception. Despite these efforts, critics argue that the pace of progress is too slow and that more immediate action is needed. Bass also addressed the broader context of public safety, noting that while the incident was tragic, it underscores the complex challenges faced by the city, including mental health issues among the homeless population. She called for a balanced approach that considers both the rights and needs of the homeless and the safety of the community.
