Today on The Five, Greg Gutfeld took aim at Kathy Griffin and other liberal celebrities who are backing Karen Bass in the race for mayor of Los Angeles.
He pointed out that these people support the status quo but that it costs them nothing. These are people who live in gated communities and never have to deal with the consequences of the politicians they support.
He also suggested that in some ways, Griffin herself is a metaphor for the decaying city:
“Kathy Griffin thinks that Bass should have another term, so she is a microcosm of the city of Los Angeles itself. Under disrepair, plagued by mental illness, money is thrown at remedies that do nothing to solve the underlying rot.
You can keep having face lifts, just like you can keep reelecting Democrat mayors, but it does nothing but keep the catastrophe alive. It never gets any better, it just gets worse. And that podcast is worth noting, because she’s a progressive, blue celebrity. Just like Jane Fonda, just like Sam Jackson. They all endorsed Bass, and if she wins, it has no effect on them whatsoever.
It is just like all the celebrities who donated their time and money to the fire relief concert. Once it was over, they had no reason to see if the money got there. They don’t care, they did their deed. A hundred million dollars. No one knows where it went. It did not go to the victims.”

The results of tonight’s primary in this race will be fascinating, no matter what happens.
If Pratt cleans up, it means there is some hope for Los Angeles. If voters want to give Karen Bass another term, or to elect the far left communist candidate, we will know the city is beyond help.
