‘Lying’ LA Mayor Karen Bass accused of gaslighting to ‘protect’ gangbangers after FBI MacArthur Park raid
NY Post
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has been accused of gaslighting residents while “protecting” violent gangbangers — after the feds took down several members of the city’s largest gang in a daring, heavily-armed raid near MacArthur Park on Thursday.
The embattled leader previously blasted a federal operation in July, which saw immigration agents descend on the troubled park to root out MS-13 gangbangers and open-air drug markets, calling it “outrageous” and “un-American.”
She also insisted at the time that MacArthur Park, which has long been plagued by gang activity, homelessness and drug addicts overdosing on fentanyl, was a beloved children’s sanctuary.
“Minutes before, there were more than 20 kids playing — then, the MILITARY comes through,” Bass ranted on X, posting a time-lapse video of the agents marching across an empty soccer field inside the park.
The resurfaced comments irked many fed-up Angelenos — after the FBI helmed a multi-agency raid that nabbed 12 members and associates of the notorious 18th Street gang on Thursday.
The gang is a major player in the drug epidemic gripping LA. It is a top trafficker of methamphetamine and fentanyl, with a special focus of their operations in MacArthur Park.
