Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman is taking heat once again in her own backyard.
Just days after astaged homeless encampmentoutside her Silver Lake home, a new wave of flyers attacking Raman’s homelessness record and mocking her controversial backyard barbecue proposal is hitting the socialist’s neighborhood.
The flyers, plastered on utility poles and street fixtures, carry blunt messages including, “No BBQ For You. Vote Raman for Mayor” and “Keep LA A Sh*thole.”
The campaign is being funded bySafe Cities USA, which says it is operating independently of any mayoral candidate and is backed by Los Angeles residents, business owners and former Angelenos frustrated with the city’s direction.
The group says the flyers target Raman’s handling of homelessness, public safety and quality-of-life issues.
“Our reasons are we don’t feel Bass or Raman should be spreading lies with facts and figures that can’t be verified,” the group said in a statement provided to The Post. “I have an obligation to fight back on behalf of our families and businesses. We can no longer sit back while they rob us blind.”
Safe Cities USA says the campaign reflects growing frustration among residents who believe Los Angeles has become overwhelmed by homelessness, addiction, crime and deteriorating quality of life.
“Residents and businesses have had enough,” the statement continued. “We finally have a mayoral candidate who is passionate, knowledgeable and willing to run the city using common sense.”
The flyers arrive just days after Ramanfound herself at the center of another homelessness controversywhen activists staged a mock encampment outside her Silver Lake home on Memorial Day.
