A spoilsport might ask why any mayor should go on a tax-payer-funded junket to a foreign country in the first place, eh?

'Where Is LA Mayor Karen Bass?' Democrat Celebrates in Ghana While County Burns, Hydrants Run Dry

Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass (D.) has been celebrating a presidential inauguration in Ghana while wildfires ravage thousands of acres in her city and first responders report that fire hydrants are running dry.

Bass is part of President Joe Biden's four-member delegation that attended Tuesday's inauguration of John Dramani Mahama as Ghana's president.

What possible reason was there for dispatching a Los Angeles mayor on an African safari? Especially when a similar adventure could have been experienced right down the street in Anaheim? No one’s talking.

Ironically enough, Miss Bass formerly took a tougher stance against politicians leaving the country to vacation in foreign lands during emergencies, but she’s apparently changed her views on the matter.
