Nearly 100k People Slap Karen Bass With Petition to Resign As Even a Kardashian Rips Her As a ‘Joke’

.Nearly 100,000 signatures have been gathered on a petition demanding Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass resign immediately over her "gross mismanagement" of the devastating wildfires engulfing her city.
The fires in and around the LA area have resulted in at least 16 deaths (five died in the Palisades fire on the west side of Los Angeles), burned over 36,000 acres, and destroyed more than 12,000 homes and structures.
Those numbers, tragically, are likely to go higher as firefighters battle to contain the blaze, weather forecasts predict more winds, and thousands of piles of rubble have yet to be searched for victims.
Democrat politicians in California have done little to instill confidence that they are handling the situation, instead focusing all of their efforts on deflecting blame.
One of those individuals is Bass. However, a new petition on Change.org initiated by LA residents is putting the focus squarely on her.
"We, the undersigned residents of Los Angeles and concerned citizens, urgently call for the immediate recall of Mayor Karen Bass due to her gross mismanagement and failure to effectively respond to the devastating 2025 fires in and around the city of Los Angeles," the petition reads.

Bass, who is in her first term as mayor, was initially ripped by critics for being absent during the crisis and then returning from a trip to Ghana using a military plane. She had been warned of the high risk of a fire incident before departing but apparently felt the photo-op was more important.
Upon returning to the City of Angels, things grew exponentially worse.
Bass faced significant criticism and embarrassment following her handling of a press conference where she struggled with reading from a prepared script, mispronounced words like “heroism,” and awkwardly handled providing a website link by spelling out the letters “U-R-L” instead of giving the actual web address.
In short, she went full Biden. Nobody goes full Biden. [more]
