MSNBC guest Jemele Hill lashed out at the Kardashian family and connected their personal water usage to shortages during the wildfires after Khloé Kardashian criticized Democratic L.A. Mayor Karen Bass in a post on Instagram over the city and county response to the devastating and deadly wildfires that have been tearing through homes and businesses for the last week.
Kardashian drew viral attention over the weekend after posting a video of Los Angeles Fire Chief Kristin Crowley, who is a first responder and firefighter, stating that budget cuts have hurt the ability of firefighters to respond to emergencies and do their jobs, something Crowley also stated very clearly in a letter to the city back in December.
Kardashian shared the video of Crowley speaking with KTTV Fox 11 last week in a interview that sparked rumors she was going to be fired by the Democrat mayor. The mayor’s office denied those rumors and the two appeared together at a press conference the next day, where Bass acted surprised that anyone would suggest such a thing.
“I stand by YOU Chief Crowley!!!!” Kardashian wrote. “You spoke the truth and you had tears in your eyes because I can tell you didn’t even want to say that but it was THE TRUTH!!!!”
“Mayor Bass you are a joke!!!!” she wrote.
The reporter whose interview of Crowley went viral and made international news, Gigi Graciette, also noted the emotion in Crowley’s response when speaking later in the evening about the fallout.
