L.A. Mayor's Attempt to Change the Subject to Trump During Her Interview Backfire Was a MASSIVE Fail

Gavin Newsom and his embarrassing attempts to brag about the rebuilding effort after the fires or the progress (or drastic lack thereof) in construction of high speed rail in his state can step aside for a moment while we watch Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass get pinned down by a local reporter during a pothole filling photo op.
Hey, Hairgel ... WHAT "effort" to rebuild after the out-of-control fires YOU helped cause devastated a large portion of Los Angeles and WHAT "progress" on your high speed rail to nowhere? Both of those lines of utter nonsense are nothing but nonexistent fantasy on your part. You know it and everybody else knows it.
Bass has been in the news over the issue of potholes and roads that need resurfacing. Guess what's not happening at a very fast pace:
KTLA (@KTLA) ~ Recent storms have left Los Angeles streets riddled with potholes, frustrating drivers across the city and prompting Mayor Karen Bass to highlight ongoing repair efforts Friday morning.

Bass had a photo op on a street where crews were filling in some potholes, and it went downhill from here:
The mayor is expected to join city crews in Chinatown on Friday as officials urge residents to report street damage through the city’s 311 system. According to the mayor’s office, crews have filled more than 10,000 potholes since the record-breaking holiday storm earlier this year, with repairs continuing after this week’s rainfall.
However, Spillman noted some residents say they have reported potholes multiple times without seeing them fixed, underscoring ongoing skepticism as crews work to catch up after repeated rounds of rain.
Heh heh heh heh heh ... poor benighted Karen ... she took her cue from "Pothole Pete" Buttgigged and made a fool out of herself.

During the photo op, the L.A. Mayor was interviewed by a reporter who kept reminding her what a failure her "leadership" has been on this issue (and no doubt many others).
It got so awkward that eventually Bass tried to change the subject to Trump and a different issue entirely. That didn't work so Bass just ended the interview. Watch:
Kevin Dalton (@TheKevinDalton) ~ Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass gets absolutely obliterated on live TV during a pothole filling photo op.
She attempts to brag about paving 60 miles of Los Angeles streets, when the reporter informs her there are 22,000 miles to pave in Los Angeles.
For those keeping track at home that is 0.27% of the city. Good luck with those bent and broken rims.

BWHA HA HA HA!!! She ran away as fast as she could ...
Well, Bass tried ... and failed.
Hmmm ... somehow, the crumbling California infrastructure under autocratic Democrat rule is apparently the fault of a proposed rule by Trump's HUD Department to require proof of either U.S. citizenship or eligible immigration status to use public housing. This rule is part of HUD's broader effort to ensure that taxpayer-funded housing benefits only go to American citizens or eligible individuals. So, in other words, this proposed rule goes against the Democrats' harmful "sanctuary city and state" policies.
AAE (@AAC0519) ~ Democrats like @CAgovernor and @RoKhanna sound great until you point out that their government is one huge failure.
At which point they always end up trying to blame Trump.
They're pathetic. It's the only card they have to play.
QwikFire (@OC_motorcop) ~ Wow! I’m shocked. KTLA5 pressing the LA Mayor. Unbelievable. Almost like real journalism.
Actual journalism is all too rare these days and it's refreshing to see it take place on occasion. Bass did NOT appreciate it, however.
