L.A. Mayor Karen Bass: Trump Is Inviting Iran to Attack Us

EXCERPT:

BASS: "No, I’ve not spoken to him personally, but I just have to say there just were — the comments were completely irresponsible. I mean, they just were. You don’t say something like that in jest. You are the president of the United States, and your number one job is to protect and defend the American people, not to invite a foreign power to attack a city. But then again, we are Los Angeles. And June of last year, our city was attacked by the federal government when he sent 4000 troops, National Guard and about 700 marines to our city for no particular reason. In my opinion, it was to terrorize and frighten the people in Los Angeles. And so here we go one more time, you know, thinking about the role of a president at a country where we are at war, our enemy supposedly, but yet you’re going to invite your enemy to attack you? It’s just — it’s incredible."
