LA Mayor Karen Bass promised voters before being elected that she would not travel abroad — only to be caught gallivanting around Ghana when the worst wildfires in the city’s history broke out last week.

Just a year before she took office, Bass pledged to the New York Times that if elected, “Not only would I of course live here [in Los Angeles], but I also would not travel internationally — the only places I would go would be DC, Sacramento, San Francisco and New York, in relation to LA.”

The former congresswoman was addressing questions about her previous globe-trotting as a member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee at the time.

But Bass has since broken that promise at least five times this year alone, including when critics say she skirted her duties back home by recently traveling to Africa for Ghana’s presidential inauguration — as LA’s devastating wildfires broke out.

Glenn Beck: The RADICAL Past of Los Angeles’ WOKE Mayor Karen Bass

Many liberal Californians, including Hollywood elites, are turning on Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass after she stayed in Ghana instead of immediately heading home once wildfires destroyed the Palisades. But should the people of Los Angeles be surprised? Glenn Beck reviews Mayor Bass’ radical history, as laid out in a short documentary by Errol Weber. She visited Cuba multiple times during the reign of Fidel Castro as part of the Venceremos Brigade, a Marxist training program that taught insurgency and guerilla warfare. She praised Castro, even after he died. Her government has defunded firefighters to fund NGOs. "Once again," Glenn says, "who you vote for matters."
