Dem mayor faces reality check after accusing rival of ‘exploiting’ Palisades Fire: ‘Absolute tone deafness’
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing backlash for her response to mayoral candidate and former reality television star Spencer Pratt, who has been attacking L.A. leaders over alleged mismanagement during the deadly Palisades Fire.
Bass accused Pratt of «exploiting» the tragedy, which he faced personally, to score political points. Pratt, however, pushed back and said he won community awards for his support of the Palisades community during the tragedy that resulted in both his and his families’ homes being burnt down. He said he also knew people who burned alive across the street from his childhood home.
«Honestly, before this, I had never heard of Spencer Pratt,» Bass told MeidasTouch as the former reality star’s anti-Bass ads about her mismanagement during the Palisades began gaining traction online. «The thing I am concerned and feel about him is that I feel like he’s exploiting the grief of people in the Palisades and I just think that’s just reprehensible. That’s the main thing and I think he is about his own celebrity — he’s famous now again.»
The questioner during the interview agreed with Bass throughout the talk, but did concede that the fires were something «top of mind» for California voters. Still, Bass was lauded by the questioner for her experience working in public office during such a major disaster, a tenure Pratt is targeting.

«For a longtime politician, I am godsmacked by Karen Bass’ absolute tone deafness in attacking a survivor of the Palisades Fire in this way,» Roxanne Hoge, Chairwoman of the L.A. Republican Party, told Fox News Digital.
«All of Los Angeles is grieving the loss of our once-beautiful and prosperous City under Karen Bass’ and Nithya Raman’s leadership the last 4 years. To accuse Spencer Pratt — who lives in his burned-out lot in a trailer — of ‘exploiting grief’ is a new low,» Elizabeth Barcohana, an attorney and political strategist in Los Angeles, added. «It is only thanks to Pratt that we know why Bass was unprepared for the Palisades Fire, why [Gov. Gavin] Newsom chose to save plants instead of the people who burned alive that day, how the FireAid money disappeared into local NGO coffers instead of going to victims, and what our taxpayer funding that is supposed to be used to reduce homelessness is actually being spent on.»
«Mayor Bass calling Spencer Pratt’s campaign ‘reprehensible’ is the kind of tone-deaf political malpractice that explains exactly why Los Angeles is in crisis. Spencer Pratt lost his home. His parents lost their home. He watched his city burn while his mayor was on a plane to Ghana. That’s not exploitation, that’s lived experience, and it’s the most legitimate credential anyone could bring to this race,» former Trump campaign advisor Janiyah Thomas also told Fox News Digital. «Mayor Bass had the audacity to say she’d never heard of Spencer Pratt, but Angelenos have never forgotten that she cut the fire department’s budget and was absent when their homes were turning to ash.»
LA TIMES OWNER BLAMES MAYOR FOR CUTTING FIRE DEPARTMENT BUDGET AHEAD OF WILDFIRES: ‘COMPETENCE MATTERS’
Meanwhile, Bass said during the MeidasTouch interview that her experience leading the city’s response during the deadly Palisades Fire, in addition to her experience at the federal level in Congress, was exactly why she was a better candidate than Pratt, adding he could use a civics class to understand how government works.
But Bass faced heavy criticism during the fire for being absent, including taking a trip to Ghana as a historic windstorm swept the area ahead of the blaze, for not deploying proper pre-fire resources and enacting around $17.6 million cuts to the city’s fire department ahead of the tragedy.
Bass appeared to blame the fires and their destruction on climate change during the interview, while arguing her experience serving in public office during the disaster is why she should be re-elected.
DEMS BLAME LA FIRE ON ‘CLIMATE CHANGE’ DESPITE CITY CUTTING FIRE DEPARTMENT BUDGET
«These fires, it was the worst natural disaster that we experienced in our city — at the root of it, you know, we have to get adjusted to — just like everybody else in the nation — to different weather experiences that we’re not used to because of climate change,» Bass added during the discussion about Pratt and his attacks on her record. «We don’t know hurricanes — I’m born and raised in Los Angeles — to have hurricane-strength winds and actually no rain is odd anywhere but especially Los Angeles.»
Bass’ office referred Fox News Digital to the mayor’s campaign team, but they did not provide any response in time for publication.

«I’m not sure if Karen Bass forgot she let my house burn down and my parents house burn down and I had actual neighbors burn alive across the street from my childhood home,» Pratt responded on Fox News’ «The Will Cain Show» when asked about Bass’ criticism of him. «The only grief is my grief, my community’s grief that I initially started this fight on behalf of.»
«It’s the most insane, psycho, diabolical thing I’ve heard in a minute – but it’s not shocking,» Pratt added.

«How the hell is Spencer Pratt ‘exploiting grief’?» Meghan McCain, daughter of the late Sen. John McCain, questioned in a post on X about Bass’ response. «He, his wife, children and parents lost their homes and everything in it in a fire because of Karen Bass and her failed policies.»
«Mayor Bass is in damage control. Bass calling this ‘exploitation’ tells you that she wants sympathy for herself and silence from the actual victims of the fires,» Corrin Rankin, California Republican Party chairwoman, told Fox News Digital. «Californians are tired of Democratic politicians who lack accountability and attack critics. When people lose everything, they have every right to demand answers from the people in charge that failed them.»

Trump negó que Estados Unidos haya acordado pagar US$ 300 millones a Irán como parte del acuerdo de paz
Donald Trump salió al cruce de los rumores y negó que Estados Unidos haya acordado pagar USD 300 millones a Irán como parte del entendimiento alcanzado para terminar la guerra en el Golfo y reabrir el Estrecho de Ormuz.
El presidente calificó esas versiones como una campaña de “noticias falsas” y apuntó contra los medios iraníes por difundir información errónea sobre las negociaciones.
A través de una publicación en su red Truth Social, Trump desmintió que el memorando de entendimiento firmado entre Washington y Teherán incluya una transferencia de fondos a la República Islámica. La versión sobre un posible pago surgió en medio de las conversaciones que abordaron el alivio de sanciones y el acceso de Irán a activos congelados en el extranjero.
El acuerdo y la reapertura parcial del Estrecho de Ormuz
La desmentida de Trump llegó horas después de anunciar en Francia la firma del memorando de entendimiento para poner fin al conflicto iniciado en febrero y restablecer la navegación en el Estrecho de Ormuz, una de las rutas marítimas más importantes para el comercio energético global.
“El acuerdo ya está firmado y el estrecho ya está parcialmente abierto”, declaró Trump ante periodistas al llegar a Évian, donde participa de la cumbre del G7.
Al menos cinco embarcaciones iraníes atravesaron el estrecho de Ormuz después de que Estados Unidos anunciara el levantamiento de su bloqueo naval como parte del memorando de entendimiento alcanzado con Irán para poner fin a la guerra y reabrir el estratégico paso marítimo, según informó la cadena estatal iraní Press TV.
El bloqueo del Estrecho de Ormuz duró tres meses y complicó las exportaciones de petróleo y gas del Golfo Pérsico, generando tensiones en los mercados internacionales y alterando las cadenas de suministro energético y productos claves como fertilizantes.

Consultado sobre la publicación del documento, Trump respondió: “Probablemente bastante pronto. Diría que después del viernes… creo que en un futuro muy cercano”.
Los puntos clave del memorando y las condiciones de Estados Unidos
Según fuentes de ambas delegaciones, el memorando establece la reapertura de la vía marítima y la extensión del cese del fuego por 60 días. Durante ese plazo, las partes intentarán resolver cuestiones pendientes, como el futuro del programa nuclear iraní.
Funcionarios estadounidenses aclararon que cualquier beneficio económico para Irán dependerá de garantías verificables de que Teherán no desarrollará armamento nuclear. Washington presentó esa condición como indispensable para mantener vigente el acuerdo.
Mientras tanto, la oposición demócrata en el Congreso exigió conocer el contenido completo del memorando. El líder de la minoría demócrata en el Senado, Chuck Schumer, reclamó la publicación íntegra del texto y la presentación de un informe formal ante los legisladores.
“El pueblo estadounidense merece detalles y total transparencia: ¿qué contiene exactamente este ‘entendimiento’?”, expresó Schumer en un comunicado. El senador también cuestionó el despliegue militar estadounidense en la región y los resultados del conflicto: “¿Qué ganamos realmente con esta guerra de Trump?”, planteó.
Tensión en la región: ataque de Israel y el rol de los mediadores
La firma del memorando no eliminó todas las tensiones. Horas después del anuncio, Israel lanzó un ataque con un dron contra un vehículo en el sur del Líbano, donde mantiene operaciones contra Hezbollah, organización respaldada por Irán.
Teherán sostuvo que el memorando exige el cese total de hostilidades en ese frente. Israel, que participó junto a Estados Unidos en las operaciones militares desde febrero pero no integró las negociaciones, respondió que mantiene el derecho de actuar militarmente cuando lo considere necesario.
La ratificación en Ginebra y el papel de Suiza, Pakistán y Qatar
Desde Suiza, el presidente Guy Parmelin confirmó que la ceremonia formal de ratificación tendrá lugar en Ginebra, aunque evitó garantizar la fecha anunciada por Trump. “Es más prudente hablar de este fin de semana” que del viernes, afirmó Parmelin.
El mandatario suizo explicó que todavía no está definida la composición de las delegaciones ni el nivel de representación de cada país. “Hay que tener paciencia para conocer los detalles. Se hará en Ginebra porque esta es la voluntad de las partes y del facilitador Pakistán”, sostuvo.
Parmelin destacó el rol de Suiza, Pakistán y Qatar en los esfuerzos diplomáticos para acercar posiciones entre Washington y Teherán. Recordó que Suiza actúa como “potencia protectora” entre ambos países desde 1980 y funciona como canal de comunicación en ausencia de relaciones diplomáticas formales.
“Tenemos contacto con Irán. Nuestro asesor de seguridad nacional está en contacto con todas las partes”, afirmó Parmelin.
El presidente suizo agregó que el domingo ambas partes formalizaron digitalmente el compromiso para detener las hostilidades, por lo que la ceremonia prevista en Ginebra será la ratificación pública del acuerdo.

Trump’s endorsement power faces crucial tests in closely watched Georgia and Alabama GOP runoff elections
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
While he isn’t on the ballot, President Donald Trump’s immense clout over the GOP faces more key tests on Tuesday in high-stakes Republican runoffs in Georgia and Alabama.
Trump-endorsed candidates are fighting in competitive showdowns against Republican rivals for the GOP gubernatorial and Senate nominations in battleground Georgia and for the Senate in solidly red Alabama.
Tuesday’s contests in Georgia and Alabama come as Oklahoma and the District of Columbia hold primary elections, and voters in California’s 14th Congressional District will vote in a special election to narrow the field of nearly a dozen candidates hoping to fill the seat left vacant when scandal-plagued Democratic Rep. Eric Swalwell resigned.
But the biggest spotlight is on Georgia, where Trump made an 11th-hour endorsement this past weekend in the Senate race in Georgia, which is one of a handful of midterm election contests across the country that will decide if the GOP holds its slim majority in the chamber.

Trump endorsed Republican Rep. Mike Collins, a MAGA champion and strong supporter of the president, who is facing off against former college football coach Derek Dooley, who has the support of popular conservative Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp.
«It’s an honor to have that endorsement. It just shows that he has confidence that we know how to win this race, we know we’re in the lead in this thing,» Collins told Fox News Digital on Sunday, hours after landing Trump’s endorsement.
Asked if Trump’s endorsement in Georgia came too late to make a difference, Collins said, «I don’t think President Trump ever is too late. He has this impeccable ability of putting his thumb right on the scale at the right time with whatever he wants to do.»
Dooley, who’s running as an outsider, said in a Fox News Digital interview on the eve of the runoff that the president’s backing of his rival «doesn’t change how I feel.»
THESE MIDTERM RACES WILL DETERMINE WHETHER REPUBLICANS HOLD THEIR SENATE MAJORITY
«I’m honored to have Governor Kemp’s endorsement. I certainly would have been honored to have the President’s endorsement. But the most important endorsement that I’m fighting for is the people of Georgia,» he emphasized.
Collins, who represents Georgia’s 10th Congressional District, which is located between Atlanta and Augusta, is the son of the late Rep. Mac Collins, and is the founder and co-owner, along with his wife, of a trucking company.
Dooley, a lawyer, a former University of Tennessee football coach and the son of legendary University of Georgia head football coach Vince Dooley, is strongly backed by Kemp, who is a lifelong friend. The governor and his wife, Georgia First Lady Marty Kemp, have regularly appeared with Dooley on the campaign trail, and the governor’s top political advisor is a senior consultant for Dooley’s Senate bid.
Collins and Dooley were the top two finishers in a crowded field of candidates in last month’s primary that also included Rep. Buddy Carter. Since no one topped 50%, Collins and Dooley advanced to Tuesday’s runoff election.
The winner of the GOP Senate nomination in Georgia will face off in the midterms against Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff. Republicans view Ossoff as the most vulnerable Senate Democrat seeking re-election and are heavily targeting the first-term senator. But while Republicans have been battling for their party’s nomination over the past year, Ossoff’s built a powerful war chest that will give him a major fundraising advantage as the general election gets underway.

The power of a Trump endorsement is also facing a key test in Georgia’s gubernatorial nomination runoff, where Trump last year backed Lt. Gov. Burt Jones in the race to succeed the term-limited Kemp. Jones is battling billionaire businessman Rick Jackson, who has dished out over $100 million of his own money on his campaign, in the runoff.
The winner will take on former Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, who served in the Biden administration, in this autumn’s general election. Bottoms avoided a runoff by winning a majority of the vote as she topped six other candidates in last month’s Democratic gubernatorial primary.
Jones and Jackson were the top two finishers in last month’s crowded and competitive GOP gubernatorial primary, which also included state Attorney General Chris Carr and Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. Because no candidate topped 50%, Jones and Jackson advanced to the runoff.
Pointing to a tele-rally Trump headline for him last week, Jones told Fox News Digital «The president’s endorsement carries a lot of weight here in Georgia.
Kemp made a last-minute endorsement on Sunday, backing Jones. And at an event Monday morning, Kemp explained that his mission is «to make sure that we have the best folks at the top of the ticket that can win in November and you know that’s why I’m supporting Burt Jones for governor.»
«When you think about the direction of the state the great things that we’ve been able to do, I think he’s best suited to move the state forward,» Kemp said. And he warned of the «consequences of not winning, like we’ll be going the way of Virginia, New York, California, we just cannot afford to do that.»
Jones, a former captain of the University of Georgia football team, an oil executive and heir to the Jones Petroleum Company, served as a state senator before winning election in 2022 as lieutenant governor.
Jackson was unknown to Georgia voters before launching his gubernatorial campaign in February, but thanks to an avalanche of ads, his story of building a business empire despite growing up in foster care and not being able to afford college became well known in the Peach State.
And he’s repeatedly highlighted that, like Trump, he’s an outsider and businessman. «I’m going to be Trump’s favorite governor because we’re just alike on the way that we handle business and handle problems, and I want to do exactly in Georgia what he’s doing at the federal government,» he reiterated in a Fox News Digital interview Sunday.
And on the eve of the runoff, he predicted, «I think people are ready for an outsider. That’s what they want, and that’s what they’re going to vote for. And that’s why we’re going to win tomorrow.»
Jackson also landed a last-minute endorsement, as conservative firebrand Sen. Ted Cruz backed Jackson on Friday and joined him on the campaign trail for a runoff eve rally.
«Rick has an extraordinary record, an extraordinary life story. And I also think he’s positioned to win. And the stakes are too high. This election is a battleground all across the country. We can’t afford to lose Georgia,» Cruz told Fox News.
When Cruz endorsed Jackson on Friday, he also supported South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson, who is facing off in a week against Trump-backed Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette.
Asked if he’s trying to put some daylight between himself and the president on the campaign trail, Cruz quickly responded, «No. Not remotely….The president and I agree on the vast majority of races. What I try to do in every race is endorse the strongest conservative who can win. And typically I get in races late in the race at a time where where my support might be able to make a difference and be helpful.»
Jones, on the eve of the Cruz visit, took aim at Jackson.
«He keeps on bringing in these out-of-state senators, and I would much rather have the president’s endorsement,» he said. «He’s having to go out of state to get his support. We’re keeping all our stuff in state.»
In neighboring Alabama, Trump is supporting Rep. Barry Moore, who is facing off with former Navy SEAL sniper Jared Hudson in the GOP Senate runoff, in the race to succeed Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville, who is running for governor this year rather than seeking re-election.
Moore, who founded a waste hauling company and later served as a state lawmaker before first winning election to the U.S. House in 2020, and was one of the first politicians to endorse Trump in 2015 when the president first ran for the White House, is also endorsed by Vice President JD Vance and Senate Majority Leader Sen. John Thune.

Moore, who represents Alabama’s 1st Congressional District, in the southern portion of the state, is a member of the ultra-conservative House Freedom Caucus.
Hudson, running as an outsider, edged out state Attorney General Steve Marshall to advance to the runoff with Moore.
Besides being a combat veteran, Hudson has served as a sheriff’s deputy, firefighter, small business owner and current head of a nonprofit that trains law enforcement in taking out human traffickers.
Hudson was endorsed by then-Sen. Markwayne Mullin, who is now Trump’s Department of Homeland Security secretary, as well as Sen. Tim Sheehy, the National Association for Gun Rights PAC, and conservative activist and media star Riley Gaines.

Moore or Hudson will be considered the clear front-runner in November against the winner of the Democratic runoff between small business owner Dakarai Larriett and attorney and former judge Everett Wess.
In Oklahoma, Trump is backing Mike Mazzei, a former state senator and Oklahoma budget secretary, in the GOP gubernatorial primary in the race to succeed term-limited GOP Gov. Kevin Stitt.
The president is also supporting minister Jackson Lahmeyer, who founded the group Pastors for Trump, in the Republican primary in the state’s 1st Congressional District, in the race to succeed Rep. Kevin Hern, who is running for the Senate.
And in deep blue Washington D.C., the Democratic primary between seven candidates trying to succeed outgoing Mayor Muriel Bowser will effectively decide her successor in the District of Columbia.
The brute force of the president’s endorsement power has been on display in GOP primaries over the past month, and a half, with his candidates ousting incumbents he targeted in showdowns in Indiana, Louisiana, Kentucky and Texas that grabbed plenty of national attention.
But Trump’s endorsement streak in statewide and congressional Republican primaries was snapped two weeks ago when his 11th-hour endorsement of Republican Rep. Randy Feenstra of Iowa in the race to succeed retiring GOP Gov. Kim Reynolds wasn’t enough to propel the three-term congressman to victory.
Feenstra was narrowly edged by Zach Lahn, a businessman, farmer and former political strategist who was backed by the political wings of MAHA — the acronym for the Make America Healthy Again movement aligned with Trump Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. — and Turning Point USA, the powerful conservative organization co-founded by the late Charlie Kirk.
Trump rebounded last week, as the candidate he endorsed in the South Carolina GOP gubernatorial primary, Lt. Gov. Pamela Evette, finished first in a crowded field and clinched one of the two tickets in the race for the nomination.

Meanwhile, longtime Trump ally Sen. Lindsey Graham did win a majority of the vote in the Republican Senate primary, and avoided a runoff.
Graham, who was endorsed by Trump, was facing primary challenges from five candidates, including conservative businessman Mark Lynch, who took aim at the senator over his support for the war in Iran. Lynch was backed by some MAGA leaders who have been critical of the president.

Los líderes del G7 celebran una sesión especial junto a Zelensky para abordar la guerra en Ucrania y aumentar la presión sobre Rusia
Los líderes del Grupo de los Siete (G7) celebrarán este martes una sesión especial sobre la guerra en Ucrania junto al presidente ucraniano, Volodimir Zelensky, en una cumbre marcada por los intentos de reactivar los esfuerzos diplomáticos para poner fin a más de cuatro años de conflicto con Rusia.
La reunión tiene lugar en la ciudad francesa de Evian y contará con la participación del presidente de Estados Unidos, Donald Trump, quien manifestó cierto optimismo sobre la posibilidad de impulsar avances en las negociaciones entre Kiev y Moscú.
Al llegar a la cumbre, Trump se refirió a las conversaciones que mantuvo recientemente con Zelensky y con el líder ruso, Vladimir Putin. “Quizás podamos hacer algo”, afirmó el mandatario estadounidense. También sostuvo que “ambos están abiertos a ello” y agregó: “Tuve dos muy buenas conversaciones ayer”.
Las declaraciones se produjeron en un contexto de renovada actividad diplomática y después de una nueva ola de ataques rusos contra territorio ucraniano. Según informó Zelensky, los bombardeos dejaron al menos 11 muertos y provocaron un incendio en una histórica catedral de Kiev.
Ante esa situación, el presidente ucraniano reclamó una respuesta más firme de las principales economías occidentales. Zelensky pidió una reacción “decisiva y sustancial” por parte de los líderes del G7 frente a la reciente ofensiva rusa.
Uno de los principales temas de debate será la continuidad del respaldo militar, financiero y político a Ucrania. Los gobiernos europeos presentes en la cumbre buscan convencer a Trump de la necesidad de mantener la presión sobre Moscú y de impulsar cualquier negociación de paz bajo condiciones aceptables para Kiev.
En paralelo, Zelensky reveló que propuso una reunión directa con Putin durante la cumbre del G7. Sin embargo, aseguró que Rusia rechazó nuevamente la iniciativa. “Moscú ha demostrado una vez más que no está preparada para hablar de esto”, señaló el mandatario ucraniano.
Más tarde, Zelensky dio a conocer una nueva propuesta discutida con Trump. Según explicó en un mensaje difundido en la red social X, planteó la posibilidad de organizar una reunión con Putin en Estados Unidos. “Ayer discutimos con el presidente Trump que una reunión de este tipo podría organizarse en Estados Unidos, en un formato en el que a Putin le resultaría mucho más difícil rechazarla”, expresó.
El presidente ucraniano añadió que espera una respuesta de Moscú y advirtió sobre la necesidad de incrementar la presión internacional si el Kremlin descarta nuevamente el encuentro. “Veremos qué resulta de esto. Si Rusia también rechaza esta oportunidad, será necesaria una presión adicional”, afirmó.
De acuerdo con una fuente de la presidencia ucraniana citada ante un grupo reducido de periodistas, la propuesta fue transmitida tiempo atrás mediante distintos canales diplomáticos, intermediarios y organismos de inteligencia. “No se dio ninguna respuesta clara”, indicó la fuente.
Por su parte, Putin mantiene su negativa a reunirse con Zelensky sin avances previos en las negociaciones. A comienzos de este mes, el mandatario ruso sostuvo que no veía “ningún sentido” en celebrar un encuentro cara a cara hasta que exista un acuerdo de paz preparado.
Mientras tanto, el Reino Unido anunció nuevas medidas de apoyo a Ucrania. El primer ministro británico, Keir Starmer, informó que su gobierno suministrará uranio enriquecido para garantizar el funcionamiento de las centrales nucleares ucranianas y aplicará nuevas sanciones contra Rusia.
Starmer condenó los recientes ataques rusos y los calificó como “ataques bárbaros”. Según una declaración difundida por su oficina, el Reino Unido está “intensificando nuestras medidas al cortar los ingresos que alimentan la guerra de Putin y apoyar a Ucrania durante los inviernos que se avecinan”.
La cumbre del G7 también abordará otros asuntos internacionales. Tras la sesión dedicada a Ucrania, los líderes celebrarán un encuentro centrado en Irán y la situación en Medio Oriente. Participarán el presidente de Egipto, Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, el emir de Qatar y el presidente de Emiratos Árabes Unidos.
Los aliados occidentales prevén consultar a Trump sobre el reciente acuerdo alcanzado con Irán para poner fin a la guerra en Medio Oriente. El mandatario estadounidense aseguró que ese entendimiento permitirá la reapertura total del estrecho de Ormuz a partir del viernes.
Durante los tres días de la cumbre, Francia busca ampliar el alcance político del G7 mediante la participación de dirigentes invitados de distintas regiones. Entre ellos figuran el presidente de Brasil, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, y el primer ministro de India, Narendra Modi.
