Is There Hope for L.A.? Spencer Pratt Thinks So – HotAir

Can a reality show performer strike gold in Los Angeles’ mayor’s race this year?

Los Angeles had better hope so. I can’t believe I am writing that, because I despise celebrities and reality shows, but Spencer Pratt is by far the sanest of the candidates for mayor of Los Angeles, and Los Angeles desperately needs a sane mayor to save it from itself. 





When I heard Pratt’s name, the first thing I learned about him was that he has made a career out of being a reality TV star. 

Oh, geez, I thought. Out of the Karen Bass frying pan into the Spencer Pratt fire? Then I started seeing his pitch, watched clips of the debate on TV, and thought…maybe…

I’m sorry I am now a broken record but oh my God I did not have Spencer Pratt, exposing Karen Bass’s entire communist, revolution history during the race for mayor in Los Angeles.

I mean the best part about this is everything he’s saying is completely 100% true. 

So if you don’t know who Karen Bass is, you should watch this video and ask yourself why are there so many Democrat politicians training in Cuba before being elected into powerful positions in American public office?





Pratt, it turns out, is a man on a mission and isn’t afraid to just tell it like it is. 

He decided to run for mayor for a simple reason: Karen Bass burned his house down, at least by proxy. And he can’t rebuild it because…L.A. It’s f’ing Los Angeles, where the commie technocrats make everything good impossible, and subsidize every bad thing that can possibly happen. 

Pratt’s pissed. And not only is not afraid to say it, or afraid to call out those who are failing, but also to be direct and honest about why they are failing. No politically correct BS, or catering to lefty voters. He’s in your face and media savvy enough to break through the bulls**t. 

He’s running ads that break through, and there’s an army of fellow pissed-off Angelinos who are throwing in their own ads to push his campaign, and they are compelling. 





The irony is thick: Gavin Newsom tried to ban the use of AI and parody about politicians, and now you can see why: you can tell a story in a way that grabs attention. 

Of course, Pratt would not even be in the running, or for that matter, be in the race, if Los Angeles were not run by such a bunch of clowns. He would be enjoying his time with his wife, Heidi Montag, and his two kids (gee, a politician with a normal family!), and Los Angeles wouldn’t be a hellhole. 

But here we are. Los Angeles has Karen Bass, a legitimate communist, who was able to beat a more normal and competent guy, Rick Caruso, the last time around, because he was a basic Republican. The whole race, gender, woke campaign against him worked. 

Pratt is taking a different tack. He is going straight after the failures, the political machine, and avoiding the blah blah blah. 





It’s too easy to say “common sense” and make it a platitude. But what Pratt is selling is, in fact, common sense. Instead of dropping statistics, he is just calling BS on all the words and claims of Democrats and putting a mirror up to Los Angeles and asking, “Is this what you want?” 

The answer for many is a resounding “No!”

When his other opponent, City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, called him a MAGA Republican, his response was priceless, because he didn’t even bother responding to the stupid attack, but made fun of it. 

Why respond to a poll-tested attack when it is completely irrelevant to the matter at hand: what do you want L.A. to look like?

Pratt’s style is perfect for the moment, and he has something that neither Bass nor Raman can rebut: reality on his side. When Karen Bass flat-out lied during the debate, he called her a “liar” to the horror of the politicos. 





Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt kicked off the city’s mayoral debate in a heated exchange on Wednesday after Pratt called Bass “an incredible liar,” and claimed she misguided Angelenos about the facts of the Palisades Fire when it broke out last year.

CBS News’ @JonVigliotti, who has been closely reporting on and investigating the blaze for over a year, fact checked two key moments from the debate.

Hmm. She lied. Everybody knows it. 

The primary is rapidly approaching, and it looks like Pratt has a good shot at being Bass’ opponent in the fall, although the betting markets still show him running well behind Bass so far. Kalshi only gives him a 29% chance of beating Bass right now. 

A poll taken after the debate by NBC showed that debate viewers thought he won, and he got good reviews from the people who watched. 





“Pratt was surprisingly good and I thought he would be an unserious bro, but his grief that everyone is making fun of is actually real,” one person wrote. “It was clear that Bass and Raman are the unserious ones about improving the quality of life for citizens of LA. Pratt won my vote.”

“Spencer Pratt, with the little experience he has, surprisingly outperformed Bass and Raman, which really says a lot about their inability to lead,” another added. “He is new to politics, they have been years and years in politics and in charge. Yet, the policies they propose they haven’t done. Pratt shows he is a person of action. Bass and Raman show they are inept.”

A third said that Pratt “showed his grasp of the issues, while “Bass and Nithya have their hearts in the very wrong place.”

But others still thought he didn’t have the “experience,” as if the experience that Bass and Raman have is a good thing. 

Pratt’s real problem is that he is running against a massive political machine. One so powerful that it could actually get Karen Bass, a literal communist with one of the least impressive Congressional records possible, elected. Her talent is funding NGOs that will use federal, state, and local money to keep her in office. 

It’s no shock that Los Angeles is a hotspot of fraud, with billions of dollars going to phony hospices. A lof of that money will be spent to have every homeless voter in the city magically wake up from their fentanyl stupor and vote for her, along with every teacher, SEIU member, and government worker. 





That’s a formidable force to reckon with. All Pratt has is common sense, media savvy, and a solid case to make to the voters. 

You would think that, at least after the 2025 fires and the utter disaster of the cleanup and recovery, Bass’ political career would go up in smoke. In any sane universe, it would have.

But this is California. Which means Pratt has a tough race ahead of him, and the smart money says he can’t win. 

But then again, on election day, the smart money was behind Hillary Clinton. 99% chance, I recall.
