A dim-witted socialist running for LA Mayor had a meltdown during a wild interview on Monday before closing with one of the most embarrassing errors imaginable.
As The New York Post reported, Rae Huang, who is challenging Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in June’s Democratic Primary, had a radio interview with KNX News City Hall reporter Craig Fiegener to discuss her policies and the issues affecting LA. The Post obtained audio of the entire exchange.
Things got heated almost immediately when Huang started bragging about how Marxist policies, such as the “Overpaid CEO Tax, a proposed ballot measure that would shake down on highly paid and successful business executives, would finance housing development.
“We will be benefiting off of these CEO taxes,” Huang boasted. “We need to make sure that this money, from our CEOs, our billionaires, goes into housing, which we desperately need here in Los Angeles.”
Fiegener pressed her on how she would achieve this solution. Huang responded by suggesting she would defund the police.
“Our money is going into band-aid solutions,” Huang said. “One of them is, for example, the police.”
“The LAPD just doubled their staff without the city allow — without the city approval.”
Fiegener quickly pointed out that she had gotten her facts wrong. He noted that the city’s police department had not doubled but was tentatively seeking to add 240 officers.
But this proposal remains far from guaranteed, given the anti-cop attitude from many LA City council members.
The interview took an even spicier turn when Fiegener quizzed Huang on her qualifications to lead the City of Angels.
The socialist was not pleased that he dared to ask such a relevant question.
“I’m a neighbor here in Los Angeles. I’m a mother here in Los Angeles. I’m a community organizer here in Los Angeles,” Huang snapped. “I’ve been here for over 10 years organizing with our community members. That should be a résumé enough.”
Fiegener then laid out some of the pressing job requirements Huang would have to tackle if elected. This includes a $13 billion city budget and major departments such as the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.
He asked Huang how she planned to take on such a responsibility. Her response was far from reassuring.
“I’m gonna do it. I’m excited to get started,” Huang replied before going on to compare herself to NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani.
Fiegener responded by pointing out that Mamdani at least had experience as a state assemblyman, which is not much but dwarfs anything Huang has.
Huang completely lost it at that moment.
“This is exactly the kind of pushback that we get from media people like yourself!” she snapped.
Then, Huang made a blunder that a little child could easily avoid. She somehow got her age wrong, saying she was 42 (her actual age is 43) as the segment concluded.
One could say that was a fitting conclusion to a humiliating performance.
