As multiple wildfires burn homes, businesses, and thousands of acres in and around Los Angeles, the city’s Mayor Karen Bass was hit with backlash for being in Ghana attending the inauguration of the African country’s new president.
Bass was in Ghana as part of a four-member delegation from the US to attend the inauguration of new Ghanaian President John Dramani Mahama, per INKL News. Bass had been named to the delegation by President Joe Biden. Bass is reportedly on her way back to Los Angeles.
