Kelsey Grammer Supports Spencer Pratt’s Mayoral Candidacy
Kelsey Grammer openly backed Spencer Pratt, the former reality star, while criticizing California officials Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom during a recent event for U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
“California is a great state, but it’s just poorly managed,” Bessent remarked to a gathering of Trump supporters at the Rustico restaurant in Westlake Village, a wealthy area about 40 miles northwest of Los Angeles.
Bessent, who is among President Trump’s close advisors, expressed frustration earlier this week regarding a proposal from California’s governor to impose a 100% tax on President Trump’s new $1.776 billion “anti-weaponization fund.” “There’s no cure for stupidity,” he said when discussing the proposal.
Grammer, identifying as a long-time Republican despite his Hollywood background, referred to Bessent as a “rock star” and seemed to resonate with Bessent’s critique of Democratic policies in California.
The actor didn’t shy away from humor either, joking about Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. “In our house, we just call her Karen Bass Acwards,” he commented as he left the event. He also declared he would vote for Spencer Pratt in the mayoral race, stating, “He’s the only option. We know what the rest will do.”
When asked about Gavin Newsom, Grammer’s response was notably curt: “I just hope we get to hear his last words,” leaving his feelings about the governor somewhat ambiguous.
Bessent’s appearance is part of a national tour aimed at promoting “The Trump Account,” which aims to give children $1,000 to invest in the stock market and enhance their financial education.
Robin De Sapio, a 47-year-old mother, expressed enthusiasm for the initiative, stating, “It levels the playing field for all Americans.” She passionately described the program as an exciting opportunity to teach financial literacy and foster good habits among youth. Her son, Marty, shared his eagerness: “When you turn 18, you get a lot of money invested. It’s pretty cool.” He mentioned future plans to save money for a car when he turns 18.
