Karen Bass is the Mayor of Los Angeles. However, in addition to her problems with doing her job well, she seems to have difficulty with basic concepts of government. 

Here she was on July 13 claiming, "The federal government is attempting to seize power and authority from state and local governments. This is un-American. And we will not stand for it." She's also pushing this conspiracy theory that the federal government is somehow using her city for an "experiment." 

ICE responded, reminding her that they have the right to enforce federal immigration law. 

Then on Sunday, Bass was interviewed on "Face the Nation." Margaret Brennan asked her why she objected to federal agents wearing masks, given that they face threats and attacks. 

Bass' reply was clueless.

KAREN BASS: Well – well, first of all, let me just tell you that the masked men are not from Los Angeles. And so, how their families could be retaliated against? And then what is that to say to local law enforcement, the Los Angeles Police Department, none of whom are ever masked, who always identify themselves, and even hand someone a business card. So, that makes absolutely no sense at all.

And I don’t know, but I have a hard time believing that the woman selling pineapples on the corner will going to attack an ICE agent.

How bizarre is that response? How does she know they're not from Los Angeles? And yes, they can be retaliated against anywhere. And unfortunately, because of the hysteria whipped up by the Democrats, people on the left have descended on ICE arrests and have attacked agents or interfered. 

Instead of telling the agents to take their masks off and put themselves at risk, how about telling the leftists to stop threatening and attacking them? 

But she wasn't done yet with the bizarre takes. She posted a clip of the next part of the interview. Her text in the tweet was what had people's eyebrows going up and responding. She said, "They're going after people selling fruit and working at car washes. It's unconstitutional and it must end." 

MARGARET BRENNAN: Tom Homan has said, physical description cannot be the sole factor for reasonable suspicion. But things like location, occupation, physical appearance add up, particularly if a person runs away or if there’s a tattoo or something. You don’t seem to believe that.

KAREN BASS: Location, sitting at a – well, location, sitting at a bus stop, walking down the street, selling fruit, no, I do dispute that, absolutely. And, you know, again, the National Guard should have never been deployed in the first place. We did not ask for them. This is the federal seizure of power from a governor deploying the National Guard when the National Guard were not even needed.

Um, no, it's not unconstitutional to go after "people selling fruit and working at car washes." They don't get a special exemption from the law. If you entered illegally, you can be detained by ICE. That didn't start under President Donald Trump; that's the law. Why do Democrats act like they don't understand that? 

I think she's trying to spin - wrongly - something Homan said into "you can't profile," but she doesn't even make a competent point. He never said they were looking only at location or any such thing. He said they take into consideration of a case a variety of factors. So even that point from her was bad, because that isn't what Homan was saying. 

Bass also said, "It’s difficult to get your car washed in Los Angeles now because most of the car washes, the employees won’t come to work out of fear that a raid will take place." First, that sounds like she's talking about illegal aliens as "servants" again - how hard things are if we don't have them working for us. And second, she seems to be arguing against her point about location.

People on X lambasted the bizarre take in her post. 

Editor’s Note: Democrat politicians and their radical supporters will do everything they can to interfere with and threaten ICE agents enforcing our immigration laws.
