Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the owner of The Los Angeles Times, said during an interview this week that it was a “mistake” for the newspaper to have endorsed Karen Bass to be the city’s mayor.
Soon-Shiong made the remarks during an interview with 2Way’s Sean Spicer following the severe backlash that Bass has faced over the last week in the wake of the wildfires that erupted, causing $50+ billion in damage.
Spicer asked Soon-Shiong how much blame should be placed on Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom as the catastrophic fires continue to rage.
“Well, first of all, we’ll accept some blame,” he said. “So at the L.A. Times, we endorsed Karen Bass. I think right now in front, that’s a mistake and we admit that.”
“So I thought it was very early, important early on for me to come out,” he continued.
