WATCH: Humiliation Ensues for Failed LA Mayor Karen Bass After She’s Confronted with a Brutal Question Regarding City’s Homelessness Crisis

LA Mayor Karen Bass has made the best case for why Spencer Pratt must replace her after she got confronted by an actual reporter with a question over a major broken promise she made to voters.

During an interview on CNN on Tuesday, journalist Elex Michaelson pointed out that Bass failed miserably to keep a promise she made in 2023 to end street homelessness in three years. As everyone knows, LA still has one of the worst homelessness problems in the country.

Bass responded by essentially admitting she was too naive to understand the bureaucracy rampant within the government, but insisted she was making progress. How embarrassing.

She also claimed that this was the first time there had been any decrease in homelessness.

But Michaelson was unimpressed. He told Bass she was only 17.6% of the way toward her goal after three years and asked why anyone should trust her to finish the job.

Bass’s only response was to tout her meager progress, which, at this rate, would amount to only 1/3 of her initial pledge.

OMG. This is BRUTAL for Karen Bass!

CNN: Your goal was to end street homelessness by 2026 in LA. It’s now 2026. We haven’t ended it, and we’re not close. How are you so OFF?

BASS: When I said that…I didn’t realize the bureaucratic barriers. I’m prepared now.

MICHAELSON: When you spoke with Jake Tapper in 2023, you said your goal was to end street homelessness in LA by 2026. It’s now 2026.

BASS: We haven’t ended it.

MICHAELSON: We haven’t ended it. And we’re not close. How were you so far off?

BASS: Well, basically, when I said that, it was the beginning of my term…I didn’t anticipate some of the bureaucratic barriers that I experienced. But I am prepared to take those on now.

I have fast-tracked 42,000 affordable housing units, but it still takes a couple of years…We didn’t anticipate the problem metastasizing…Street homelessness has decreased in our city.

MICHAELSON: But you promised it would go away by 100%. It’s only gone down about 17.6%. Why should people trust that you’re going to get to the 100%?

BASS: Because for the first time, there was a decrease at all! There was no commitment before getting rid of encampments across the city!

Bass not only admitted she was caught off guard upon entering the office, but also did not provide meaningful assurance that she would come through.

What possible reason could one have for re-electing her? Why not roll the dice with a non-politician?

Pratt has no interest in waiting to solve the homelessness crisis. His solutions are basic commonsense to any sentient American, but foreign to leftist Democratic officeholders.

Moreover, he has pinpointed EXACTLY why this problem has become a moneymaker for corrupt NGOs.
