Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has received a public endorsement from Magic Johnson, but the move has sparked a firestorm of criticism from critics who call it a 'selfish move.'
In a campaign-style video, Johnson praised Bass's leadership on homelessness, housing, and city governance, highlighting their decades-long friendship.
However, Trump ally and former diplomat Ric Grenell has blasted Johnson's endorsement as 'beyond pathetic,' claiming that Los Angeles is in 'terrible shape' and that Bass's re-election would be a 'selfish move.'
Grenell's criticism comes as Bass faces criticism for her handling of homelessness, violence, and affordability in the city, despite initiatives aimed at addressing these issues.
