Karen Bass’ Bizarre Take About Fruit Sellers and What’s ‘Unconstitutional’ Is Raising Eyebrows – RedState

Karen Bass is the mayor of Los Angeles. However, in addition to her problems to do her job well, she seems to have difficulties with the basic concepts of the government.

Here, she said on July 13: “The federal government is trying to seize the power and the authority of the governments of states and local governments. It is not American. And we will not see it.” She also pushes this conspiracy theory that the federal government somehow uses its city for “experience”.

Everyone should be worried.

The federal government is trying to seize the power and authority of state and local governments. It’s not American. And we will not defend it.

Ice replied, reminding him that they have the right to enforce the federal immigration law.

False, mayor Bass – The federal government does not try to “seize the authority” because the federal government has been authorized to apply immigration law by the generations of the congress there are generations.

Bass on Sunday was interviewed on “Face The Nation”. Margaret Brennan asked her why she opposed federal agents with masks, given that they are faced with threats and attacks.

Bass’s response was without any idea.

Karen Bass: Well – Well, first of all, let me tell you that masked men are not from Los Angeles. And so, how could their families be retaliated? And then what to say to local law enforcement, the Los Angeles Police Service, none of whom is ever masked, which is always identified, and even gives someone a business card. So that has absolutely no sense.

And I don’t know, but I find it hard to believe that the woman who sells pineapple at the corner will attack an ice agent.

How weird is this answer? How does she know that they are not from Los Angeles? And yes, they can be reprisal against anywhere. And unfortunately, due to hysteria foured by the Democrats, the people on the left have descended on ice arrests and attacked agents or interfered.

Instead of telling the agents to withdraw their masks and put themselves in danger, what would you tell the leftists to stop threatening and attacking them?

But she hadn’t finished with the weird catches yet. She posted a clip for the next part of the interview. His text in the tweet was what had people’s eyebrows to mount and respond. She said: “They travel the people who sell fruit and work with car washing. It is unconstitutional and it must end.”

They leave after people who sell fruit and work with car washing.

Margaret Brennan: Tom Homan said that physical description cannot be the only factor of reasonable suspicion. But things like location, occupation, physical appearance add up, especially if a person fled or if there is a tattoo or something. You don’t seem to believe this.

Karen Bass: Location, seated at A – Well, location, sitting a bus stop, walking in the street, selling fruit, no, I dispute this, absolutely. And, you know, once again, the National Guard should never have been deployed in the first place. We did not ask them. This is the federal seizure of the power of a governor who deploys the National Guard when the National Guard was not even necessary.

UM, no, it is not unconstitutional to continue “people who sell fruit and worked in car washing”. They do not obtain a special exemption from the law. If you have entered illegally, you can be owned by ice. It did not start under President Donald Trump; It is the law. Why do Democrats act as if they didn’t understand that?

I think she is trying to shoot – wrongly – something Homan said in “You can’t profile”, but she doesn’t even make a competent point. He never said that they only looked at the location or such a thing. He said they were taking into account a case a variety of factors. So, even this point of her was bad, because that is not what Homan said.

Bass also said: “It is difficult to have your car was washed in Los Angeles now because most of the car can be washed, employees will not come for fear that a raid takes place.” First of all, it seems that she is talking about illegal foreigners as “servants” – how difficult things are if we do not work for us. And secondly, she seems to argue against her point of view on the location.

I don’t think she understands what “unconstitutional” means … https://t.co/2d5fek0cmj

They leave after people who sell fruit and worked in car washing that came here illegally and have broken the laws.
