As RedState previously reported, the Los Angeles mayoral race has really heated up in recent weeks, thanks in large part to Spencer Pratt, the lone Republican candidate in the race, who is refusing to back down amid attacks from his opponents, who have sought to diminish him as merely a former reality show star who knows not of what he speaks.
The problem with that attack is that his opponents, current L.A. Mayor Karen Bass (D) and L.A. City Council member Nithya Raman, a Democrat Socialist, are the ones living in a bubble, as Pratt pointed out in what some have called the best campaign ad they’ve ever seen.
“He stands in front of the homes of Karen Bass (well, Getty House, which is LA’s mayoral mansion) and Nithya Raman, both tucked away from the reality most residents have to confront every time they leave home, then shows his own home: a trailer he recently had placed on his burned-out lot in Pacific Palisades,” RedState Managing Editor Jennifer Van Laar reported.
“They don’t have to live in the mess they created – where you live,” he observed in the 30-second ad, while pointing to the devastation left behind by the fires. It was powerful. ICYMI, here it is:

Power Grab: Dem Socialist LA City Councilmembers Push Plan to Let ‘Non-Citizens’ Vote
As we close in on the June 2nd primary date, Bass is trotting out people whom she believes bring some star power to her campaign. Among them is twice-failed Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris, who officially endorsed Bass’ campaign on Monday:
“Mayor Karen Bass is the leader Los Angeles needs right now,” Harris said. “She has done what so many said couldn’t be done — the first-ever two-year decline in homelessness, reducing crime to levels this city hasn’t seen since the 1960s, and refusing to back down when the federal government came after our neighbors. She has my full support for re-election.”
Bass touted the endorsement on X:
I am deeply honored to have the support of Vice President Harris, who has spent her career fighting for the people of Los Angeles and our country.
Her endorsement is a reflection of what we’re building together: a Los Angeles that is safer, more affordable, and unafraid to fight for its values.

Pratt scorched Bass and Harris in response, alleging that Bass – who accused him of “exploiting grief” in the aftermath of the devastating fires – engaged in a post-fires cover-up in the after-action report and let the fires burn so Harris could get a sweet deal on property in Malibu:
“This is the same woman that will allow 7,000 houses to burn to the ground, 12 people to burn alive, and then actively cover it up, get caught covering it up and then say that the LA Times is lying, even though they have the emails where she’s altering the after-action report, which, as far as I’m concerned, is obstruction of justice,” he said.
“It’s disgusting.”
[…]
“Obviously, Kamala Harris loves Karen Bass. Because of Karen Bass letting the Pacific Palisades and Malibu burn down, Kamala Harris was able to get a $2 million discount on her new house in Malibu,” Pratt alleged.
“The people that endorse me are the women and mothers who want to feel safe again in the streets of LA,” Pratt also stated.
