Fifth Column

Reminder that Karen Bass is an actual communist who was trained in a Marxist Brigade by the Castro regime

[X]

I am going to keep repeating this until people understand this.

Karen Bass was not only a Castro operative and Communist, but she got elevated to Vice Chair of National Endowment for Democracy, which is the center of soft power operations in the US government. She is not a "DEI… https://t.co/Kh7wMQvwgZ
— DataRepublican (small r) (@DataRepublican) July 7, 2025

… not a "DEI mayor." She is extremely powerful at the global stage.

She was actively involved in shaping foreign policy with the Obama administration, especially Africa. Her Ghana visit during the LA wildfires wasn't a vacation, it was part of a Biden delegate to greet Ghana's new President.

She was considered HUD Secretary for the Biden administration. Instead, she nominated the person who would become the actual HHS Secretary - California Attorney General Xavier Becerra.

Now, let me ask you. If a literal Castro operative gets elevated to this stage, what does this imply about the rest of the United States government?
