Karen Bass is sworn in as mayor of LA by Vice President Kamala Harris as her daughter Yvette Luchuga holds the Bible on Dec. 11, 2022
In that, LA Mayor Karen Bass, a big ally of both Newsom and the VP, put out her own statement after Harris’ concession speech was concluded. Like Newsom’s remarks, Bass applauded Harris and drew a line on Trump polices like mass deportation of illegal immigrants
“No matter what, Angelenos will always protect each other,” the Mayor said. “The fabric of our city is woven by the hearts of people from all over the world coming together in pursuit of opportunity and equity. That’s who we are — and that’s what our policies in the City of Los Angeles will uphold.”
Bass added: “Vice President Kamala Harris has inspired millions all over the country and all over the world — and she continues to do so. It’s our responsibility to ensure that the flame she has lit still burns bright. We will fill the sky with stars. No matter where you were born, how you came to this country, how you worship, or who you love, Los Angeles will stand with you. This is not a time for despair, this is a time for action. I’ve spoken with leaders across the city, the state and the country. We are ready.”
Point of fact: Though a proposed sanctuary city law has been suggested to the LA City Council as recently as last year and put out from lawyers to draft up, nothing has been brought to a vote. That may change after yesterday’s election.
