It's honestly comical to watch Bass' campaign try to blow this story up when Bass clearly had a longstanding, very cordial relationship with Jacobs and thought there was nothing wrong with being seen together even after he was "credibly accused of sexual harassment" all the way back in 2020

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: Tuesday, October 6, 2026

ICYMI: Photos With Rick Jacobs The Raman Campaign
Doesn't Want You to See Photos with Raman and Sex Harasser Rick Jacobs Were
Mysteriously Deleted From Her Campaign Website LOS ANGELES — Nithya Raman's campaign quietly removed photos of Raman and Rick Jacobs, a former City Hall staffer who has been credibly accused of sexual harassment, according to reporting_by_LA Material. Jacobs cost taxpayers $1.8 million when the city settled
an LAPD officer's sexual harassment lawsuit against Jacobs. "Nithya Raman is a hypocrite. She worked at Time's Up, an organization dedicated to
addressing sexual harassment, and in 2020 called the allegations against Rick Jacobs 'deeply upsetting,'" said Bass campaign spokesperson Alex Stack. "But now that Jacobs's client has poured $3 million into supporting her mayoral campaign, Raman is more than happy to cozy up to someone with a deeply disturbing history. Her values are clearly up for
sale, and she doesn't have the character or moral judgment to be mayor."Tomo
@tomoki_chien
O... In case you need a reminder of the (hilarious) absurdity of politics: After the Bass campaign flamed Raman for being "happy to cozy up" to Jacobs following our story this morning, somebody sent me this photo of Bass
and Jacobs, apparently from 2022.lamaterialnews But at an event back in
November (before Raman had jumped in the race), Bass herself
warmly greeted Jacobs.— GETTY HOUSE GUEST: Political consultant Rick Jacobs attended an exclusive post-inauguration party for Bass at Getty House Sunday night, according to several sources, rankling those who’ve watched the harassment allegations against Jacobs engulf City Hall.

Jacobs works as a consultant for the Southwest Regional Council of Carpenters, a union that was heavily involved in supporting Bass’ mayoral campaign. The allegations against Jacobs have stalled former Mayor Eric Garcetti‘s political career, with the U.S. Senate still not having voted on his July 2021 nomination as U.S. Ambassador to India. Jacobs has denied harassing anyone.

Jacobs didn’t respond to a request for comment. When asked by a reporter about Jacobs’ attendance, Bass did not directly respond, saying she was focused on homelessness.

Garcetti didn’t attend the Getty House party and had already moved out of the house by Sunday, said his representative Alex Comisar.

ICE never identified themselves during NYC shooting of Oscar Belgal, who still has bullet in neck: lawyers
The Legal Aid Society, which now represents the 28-year-old father, filed a habeas corpus petition in Brooklyn Federal Court Wednesday, seeking his “immediate release on reasonable conditions.”

And the CSAM images she is alleged to be in possession of seem particularly grave. Neither are the "the integrity of our academic institutions" accounts talking about this, nor is the British media discussing this. Tell me again how Jason Arday's case was just about "plagiarism" and academic ethics.
