Bass corrects explanation for appearing at Scientology event
Source: Politico
Rep. Karen Bass on Wednesday corrected her explanation for why she appeared and spoke effusively at the opening of the Church of Scientology’s headquarters in Los Angeles a decade ago.
The California Democrat had noted in a written statement over the weekend that the new building was in her state Assembly district. But the headquarters was well outside the boundaries of her district at the time, and Bass removed "in my district" from the statement after POLITICO contacted her office Tuesday about the discrepancy.
“In drafting a tweet, I mistakenly described the event in Los Angeles as being in her district. I regret this error,” a spokesman told POLITICO.
Bass’ justification for appearing at the massive building’s opening — that she represented the area — was included in news accounts as a primary reason why she would have attended. Bass’ spokesman did not respond to a question Wednesday about why she appeared and spoke glowingly about the church, which has been enmeshed in controversies for years.

and totally uninformed as to what they represent at the time?
Heavens, how rare. 
I support Harris, but IMO, this is overblown. If she did so recently, that would be another story.
