Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is doing her best Greta Thunberg impression by screeching ‘How dare you!’ at Vice President JD Vance. Her over-the-top 'outrage' stems from Vance calling Senator Alex Padilla ‘José’ earlier on Friday.
Enjoy the theatrics.
Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) ~ 🚨 JUST IN: Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass throws an absolute FIT after JD Vance calls Alex Padilla “José.” 🤣
If only she was this angry about illegals BURNING DOWN her city.
Bass should be removed from office.

Humorless Karens are gonna "Karen." Just sayin'.
Paul A. Szypula (@Bubblebathgirl) ~ Karen Bass lives up to her first name.

Okay ... it's gonna be all right. The managers have arrived ...

Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) ~ Even Karens across the globe want to disown this one.
Kicked out of Karens Club International!

Here's the video Bass is freaking out about. (WATCH)
Eric Daugherty (@EricLDaugh) ~ 🚨 OMG 🤣🤣
JD Vance: “I was hoping [Senator] José Padilla would be here to ask a question ... I guess he decided to not show up because it wasn’t the theater.”
The left is LOSING it over this right now.

Very rational, acceptable mockery of a ne'er-do-well senator who is supposed to be a grown-ass man but who chooses to act like a melodramatic, constipated child.
Vance and his team are doing some epic trolling.
When asked about the name mixup, his press secretary said he had confused Senator Padilla with terrorist José Padilla. Ouch!
Andrew Surabian (@Surabees) ~ NEW: @VPPressSec responds to @JDVance mistakenly referring to the recently detained and handcuffed Sen. Alex Padilla as José Padilla ... ☠️🤣

Speed Bump (@Jquags1) ~ Vance possibly confused Alex Padilla with Al-Qeada operative José Padilla. Considering the way Democrats are acting these days, is it any wonder why JD would confuse the Senator with a terrorist?

Well ... yes ... JD did use jest a lil' hyperbole. That comparison is somewhat far-fetched since José Padilla is obviously far more intelligent than Alex Padilla.
First Words (@unscriptedmike) ~ José Padilla went to jail; Alex Padilla should have. Easy to confuse the first names. Honest mistake.
We see how Vance confused the two.
Commenters are laughing at Bass and the other Democrats who are losing their minds over this, especially considering the names they’ve called President Donald Trump over the last decade.

Based Electrician (RyanHugeBrain) ~ Interesting to hear Karen Bass treat the name "José" like the worst insult ever imagined. 😏


Brambles (@Brambles11) ~ I think it's hilarious that this woman is throwing a fit over this. JD Vance calling some nobody the wrong name - on purpose or not - but who was awfully silent when Joe Biden called one of his high ranking officers, "That Black guy."
Katie Yonke (@JKHomestead) ~

Correct ... Vance has better things to worry about.
The Democrats keep trying to make this guy {Padilla} a thing, but no one cares. We’ll probably forget his name by the end of this article.
Jimmy (@jimomics) ~ To be honest, I thought his name was José, too.

Nick Sortor (@nicksortor) ~ Nobody knows who the hell this clown is. 🤣 His 15 minutes are up.
OH NOOOOOOOOOOOO! Could it be Senator Padilla is the reincarnation of Carlos Danger?!

Hopefully, this is the last we hear about Senator Alice Tortilla.
