You’ve got to hand it to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass—when it comes to denying reality, she makes Baghdad Bob look like Walter Cronkite. At a press conference earlier this week, Bass claimed with a straight face that the days-long anti-ICE riots that engulfed her city last month “never happened.” That’s right. According to her, the rocks, the brawls, the federal buildings under siege, and even the arson—just figments of your imagination, apparently.
LA Mayor Karen Bass claims there were no riots and it “never happened.”
If only there were cameras or something so people can video the rioting and share evidence…
Oh wait…

Bass was responding to questions about the recent immigration enforcement raids taking place in L.A., which now require the backup of U.S. Marines. Why? Because LAPD couldn’t—or wouldn’t—control the chaos when far-left agitators rioted to block ICE from doing its job. These weren’t protests. These were full-on assaults. Agents were pelted with rocks, ICE vehicles were damaged, and federal personnel were trapped inside buildings for hours. But Mayor Bass waved it off as “a couple of incidences of vandalism and looting.” Sound familiar? That’s the same playbook Democrats used during the Summer of Love 2020, when they said burning cities were “mostly peaceful.”
Even more jaw-dropping was Bass’s response to a reporter who asked how she’d prevent similar violence from spreading to L.A., referencing the recent ambush-style shooting at an ICE facility in Texas where a police officer was shot in the neck. Bass replied, “I have no idea what happened in Texas,” and then abruptly cut the reporter off. She can’t be bothered, apparently. You’d think a sitting mayor in a sanctuary city might want to stay up to speed on escalating violence against federal law enforcement, but no—she’s too busy pretending last month didn’t happen.
What did happen, for the record, was three days of sustained rioting that started in the city’s fashion district, then spread to Paramount, and finally to the City Hall area where vehicles were torched and police officers were attacked. Attempted murder charges are already stacking up for some of these “peaceful protesters” who hurled boulders at moving vehicles.
President Trump wasn’t having it. He activated the California National Guard and deployed thousands of troops around key federal sites in Los Angeles. They’ll be stationed there for at least 60 days, unless Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth decides otherwise.
So while Karen Bass buries her head in the sand and tries to memory-hole a week of left-wing mayhem, President Trump is doing what he always does: restoring law and order, one sanctuary city at a time.
The Democrat politicians and the Democrat Party have become the embodiment of the novel “1984” where the power to control narratives shapes reality and can manipulate history. The Democrats call conservatives and Trump supporters a “mindless cult” when in fact, they are the mindless cult believing everything the Trump Administration does is evil and destroying “democracy”. Their blindness toward reality and lawlessness and common sense is mind boggling. They are zealots of the worst kind with their fervent oppostion to the Trump Administration, conservatives and their uncomprising stance against law and order. Where this is heading is not going to be nice.
Sounds like they want to start a civil war over Illegal Aliens, especially the CRIMINAL Illegal Aliens… Doesn’t seem ‘worth’ it to me though…
The one big problem is the people letting this Gov get way way too big and Way Way out of hand.
And these are not democrats that party has been gone for over 40 years they are Treasonous Communists.
Let California burn to the ground best thing that can happen to a place with all democrats dumbasses. They got what they voted for these protesters need to move into the rich areas if they really want to make a big statement major big news when they start burning down million dollar homes. Let Newsom and Bass feel the heat then maybe they will wake up. Where do these people think all the money is going to come from to clean up self inflicted messes your own pockets because there is no federal money to bail your asses out. Tough sh-t California.
Rerun 2020 right Dems stuck in old routine
