(Slay News) – Dem Rep. Karen Bass had her Los Angeles home burglarized over the weekend in another sign the Dems have the wrong approach to controlling crime.
Bass, who is now running for Mayor of Los Angeles and who was on Biden’s shortlist for his VP pick, said two guns were taken in the robbery.
Bass issued a statement that said: “Last night, I came home and discovered that my house had been broken into and burglarized. LAPD was called, and I appreciate their assistance.
“At this time, it appears that only two firearms, despite being safely and securely stored, were stolen. Cash, electronics and other valuables were not. It’s unnerving and, unfortunately, it’s something that far too many Angelenos have faced.”

“The Los Angeles mayor’s race has pitted Bass against real estate developer Rick Caruso in a runoff to replace term-limited Mayor Eric Garcetti.
“If elected in November, Bass would become the first woman and the first Black woman to lead America’s second-largest city.
“The six-term congresswoman currently represents California’s 37th District.
“She previously served in the California State Assembly. In 2008, she became the first Black woman to serve as speaker of a state legislature.”
