Mayor Parker, officials provide update on investigation into Philadelphia plane crash

[@mickybrown68]

Over the past few days I've been watching the mayor of Philadelphia and I would like to thank her for doing an awesome job informing the public about this catastrophe. As a US citizen I would like to say she should be the model for all mayors across our great nation. She was thorough she was caring she was informative and her transparency showed absolute respect for all involved. My heart goes out to the families impacted by this tragedy. God Bless America. Michelle-Indianapolis, In

[@frankyhonnolus5528]

I don’t understand. What did she do so well?? Anybody can pose as a charismatic leader AFTER the fact. Look at Karen Bass. She wasn’t so bad dealing with fire either. The problem was she did all that after everything’s already destroyed FIRST due to her incompetence. This lady here neither did well nor bad. Everyone could do this.

[@stevewalter1090]

Seriously? L. A,'s mayor has been defensive every time I've seen her . What, line a hundred fire trucks in blocks, out of service and she goes to Guyans 4x after campaigning on a promise she wouldn't travel internationally?-..and you know what I mean: unnecessary bologna ravel. And having cocktails on the backs of her citizens that elected her. Pure theft. Always smug. Heartless.

[@frankyhonnolus5528]

@@stevewalter1090 Everything you listed is exactly what makes Bass a horrible mayor. So you’re right on that. However she’s not been doing too bad dealing with the fire. What I am saying is you can’t just look at this Philadelphia mayor handling the crash incident and say oh she’s a great leader. Anybody including myself can give good press conferences.

I started to write this when I saw your comment. “I don’t understand the point of these press conferences. It is 90% of thanking everyone who is working on this issue. Is it not their job?
