Khloe Kardashian wants to give Mayor Karen Bass a piece of her mind.
The mayor has been under heavy scrutiny amid the deadly wildfires occurring in her state of California. During an interview with a local Fox TV station, Fire Chief Kristin Crowley lashed out against the mayor’s cuts to her department. She stated on air, “My message is the fire department needs to be properly funded,” the chief said. “It’s not. Did they fail you?” Fox LA’s Gigi Graciette asked. “Yes,” Crowley replied.
Her comment has sparked mixed reactions, with some slamming her for publicly throwing a mayor under the bus while others have commended her for speaking out, including reality star Khloe Kardashian. “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!!!!” Khloe then went on to criticize the mayor, amid reports she reportedly cut $17.6 million from the Los Angeles Fire Department’s budget for the 2024-25 fiscal year—which some critics have also blasted as “a bad call.”
“Mayor Bass, you are a joke!!”
To note, Mayor Bass has responded to those reports, saying: “There were no reductions that were made that would have impacted the situation that we were dealing with over the last couple of days.”

Mayor Bass responded to the criticism, saying: “There were no reductions that were made that would have impacted the situation that we were dealing with over the last couple of days.”
So far, more than 50,000 outraged Los Angeles residents are demanding the ouster of Mayor Karen Bass in a new petition, condemning “mismanagement” in her disastrous response to the devastating wildfires ravaging the city.
Governor Gavin Newsom has also faced heavy criticism, with many demanding to know why hydrants are running dry while wildfires devastate the city. However, he has since announced an investigation into this issue.
“I am calling for an independent investigation into the loss of water pressure to local fire hydrants and the reported unavailability of water supplies from the Santa Ynez Reservoir. We need answers to ensure this does not happen again and that we have every resource available to fight these catastrophic fires.”
