During an interview, LAFD Fire Chief Kristin Crowley said the mayor's budget cuts for the department impacted the fire fight throughout Southern California, telling the station, 'My message is the fire department needs to be properly funded - it's not.'.
In a caption on a clip of the interview, Khloe, who is a resident of the city of Calabasas, California, wrote, 'I stand with YOU Chief Crowley!!!! You spoke the truth and you had tears in your eyes because I can tell you didn't want to say that but it was THE TRUTH!!!! Mayor Bass you are a joke!!!!'.

However social media users were quick to remind the Good American founder of multiple reports documenting that her sisters Kim and Kourtney, 45, had ignored local water-conserving mandates amid an ongoing drought in the area. One user said, 'Instead of Khloe Kardashian talking bulls*** about Mayor Karen Bass, people should be talking about how ... her sister used an excess of over 300,000 gallons of water in just one month during a drought. How about the water waster just STFU.'.
