The Los Angeles Times noted Saturday:
Leaders of Avance Democratic Club had called earlier in the day for Bass to apologize for her remarks, which she made at a debate hosted Thursday by KNX News.

Bass targeted Avance during Thursday night’s debate, right after Caruso touted the endorsement he received from the group.
“How much did you pay for it?” Bass said, prompting Caruso to reply that she had insulted the club.
