ASSHATS FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY 2025 – LA MAYOR BASS & CA GOVERNOR NEWSOME
Easy pick for this one. This award goes to Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsome.
Their ultra liberal policies of wokeism and adherence to DEI policies were mostly responsible for the disastrous fires around Los Angeles, resulting in the deaths of 29 people and 40,000 acres burnt.
At the time of the fires, Mayor Bass was on a junket out of the country. It is known she tried to cut the fire department budget although by how much seems to be a secret. It is known though she spent over $3 million dollars on DEI programs.
At the same time a major reservoir was dry, supposedly because it did not meet safe drinking regulations due to a rip in the cover. It sat dry for over 11 months before the fire. This caused lack of pressure to fill fire hydrants.
For their malfeasance, Gavin and Bass are the recipients of Webber’s Asshat of the month of January.
