Reality star Khloe Kardashian is the latest Hollywood celebrity to hold Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass (D) accountable for her disastrous handling of the historic fires, calling Bass a “joke” over accusations that she failed to properly fund the L.A. Fire Department.
In her Instagram stories, Khloe Kardashian posted a screenshot of a TV interview with LAFD Chief Kristin Crowley who confirmed that the city slashed her budgets, negatively impacting the department’s ability to respond to the fires.
“I stand by YOU Chief Crowley!!!! You spoke the truth and you had tears in your eyes because I can tell you didn’t even want to say that but it was THE TRUTH!!!!” Kardashian wrote.
“Thank you for being honest,” she added. “Mayor Bass you are a joke!!!!”
Khloe Kardashian also posted a lengthy tribute to local firefighters, calling them heroes.
A growing number of Hollywood celebrities have called out California leaders for their multiple failures in the days since the fires broke out around L.A. County, with some calling for resignations. They include Mel Gibson, James Woods, Zachary Levi, Sara Foster, Dean Cain, Justine Bateman, and Adam Corolla.
