Bass, Raman Left Sputtering As Spencer Pratt Brings Savage 'Reality' Star Power to LA Mayoral Debate

I admit, I didn’t know a lot about Los Angeles Republican mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt. I have never seen the MTV show that made him famous, The Hills, and frankly, I assumed that a reality star was not a serious candidate to be the chief executive of the second most populous city in the nation.

I fully remember, however, a grade teacher exhorting me back in the day, “Do not assume.” You make an “ass” out of “u” and “me.”

I wholeheartedly admit that my bias was misplaced, because as I’ve now seen in numerous bombshell ads and interviews, Pratt is no lightweight, and is in fact, a powerful voice with a firm grasp of the issues plaguing the City of Angels. He’s called out the powers that be, and showed on Wednesday night during the mayoral debate that he’s a far better answer to the city’s decline than failed Democrat incumbent mayor Karen Bass or democratic socialist extremist candidate Nithya Raman.

Pratt watched his home burn to the ground — along with his parents’ residence — not due to climate change, but due to the ineptitude of California officials across the spectrum.

He brought some serious reality to the discussion, and frankly embarrassed Bass and Raman’s endless progressive posturing, which has led the city to ruin:

Spencer Pratt just DESTROYED Nithya Raman who was trying to convince LA that he and Karen Bass are teaming up against her because they have a better chance against each other.

Pratt: "First off, Mayor Bass and I are definitely not working together. I blame this person for burning my house and my parents' house and my town and my neighbors down. I am not working with Mayor Bass."

"Second off, if I wanna run against anybody, it would be the councilmember who is terrible. Mayor Bass has at least been a mayor for almost 4 years and has, as she talked about earlier, the unions, all the unions endorse Mayor Bass. Do you think it's easier to run against the incumbent mayor with all the unions or a random city council member who's been a failure for 6 years? I would MUCH RATHER run against Councilwoman Raman! Thank you very much."

There were many artful moments by Pratt that we could discuss, but I think what showed me that he is truly talented is that he came across as reasonable. Here he is, a white man going up against two far-left women of color, and as we’ve seen from the likes of Kamala Harris, they are just waiting to pounce on the theme of “misogyny” and “racism.” Yet, he stayed polite throughout, and even when he absolutely blasted them for their failures, he did so with respect and without any nastiness. Sure, he was tough — deservedly so — but he never descended into unhinged anger or vitriol.

 

How about you just come with me and see what’s really going on, he asked Raman:

Pratt brought reality to the debate, while Nithya and Karen just seemed to pretend that all was cool and extensive mayhem hadn’t occurred on their watch. I have no idea whether he will win this race (of course, I hope he does), but whatever the outcome, he has proven that he is a force to be reckoned with.
