Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing criticism from locals for being out of the country while wildfires are raging in her city. The Democrat was named by President Biden as part of a U.S. delegation to attend the inauguration of returning Ghanian President John Dramani Mahama in Accra, Ghana.
Residents, such as Rachel Darvish, who was forced to evacuate, expressed concerns about the mayor's absence during the crisis. Darvish questioned where the mayor was when decisions needed to be made regarding safety measures and evacuations.
