LA Mayor Karen Bass rejects Trump half-staff order for Charlie Kirk

For as much goodness as there is in the world, the last week has made it abundantly clear that there are plenty of ghouls lurking in the shadows.

The assassination of Charlie Kirk is exposing many people’s true character, including Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. She has allegedly instructed her city to keep all flags at full staff, despite President Donald Trump issuing a half-staff order in honor of Kirk.

Look:

A @LAFD source has sent me this internal email, that @MayorOfLA has instructed Los Angeles city flags NOT be displayed at half staff.

“Flags shall remain raised to full staff each day … unless directed by the Mayor.”

A [Los Angeles Fire Department] source has sent me this internal email, that [Bass]has instructed Los Angeles city flags NOT be displayed at half staff. ‘Flags shall remain raised to full staff each day … unless directed by the Mayor.’ This despite [Trump] signing a half-staff proclamation,” wrote X user Anthony Cabassa.

The memo, dated September 12, 2025, outraged X users:

LA receives federal funding through HUD, DOT, HHS, and Community Development Block Grants.

Block it all.

The Dems are amazing.

Every time I think they have gone to the absolute lowest bottom of the sewer …they manage to find a lower floor.

I would hope the firefighters do this anyway.
The other option is to send the National guard out and have them do it.

The moment you thought @MayorOfLA @KarenBassLA couldn’t get any despicable, she took the time to send a memo to LA Fire Department demanding that flags NOT be flown at half staff in memory of a man loved by many people.

What kind of heartless creature does that? https://t.co/kh41RlKjio

Now do you understand how this Mayor is capable of letting an entire city burn down, 12 senior citizens burn alive, all while ignoring LAFD warnings every step of the way? Makes senes now, doesn’t it? https://t.co/kEKqSumt31

Oh, so Karen Bass does know how to communicate with Los Angeles Fire Department…
I mean, not so much when the city is burning down, but when it comes to the positioning of flags, she is Johnny on the spot… https://t.co/sfwVLkrtN7
