Spencer Pratt Critiques Democratic Rivals with Provocative Video
Spencer Pratt has taken aim at his Democratic rivals by sharing a clip featuring a homeless man next to a ballot drop box, underscoring a significant issue that current leaders seem unable to tackle effectively.
In a post on X, Pratt stated, “There’s no need to create campaign ads anymore. Karen and Nitya continue to create for me.”
The video depicts a man sleeping on the ground amidst litter around a ballot drop box at the Will and Ariel Durant Library in Hollywood.
Throughout the day, Pratt utilized social media to criticize his opponents, Nitya Raman and Karen Bass, for their handling of homelessness and the decline of the film industry in California.
He even jokingly remarked, “The only thing worse than The Hills is Nitya’s campaign.”
While social media has been crucial in garnering support for his campaign as the primary approaches, Pratt acknowledged that he has made mistakes and wishes he could amend them.
“If I could go back in time, I would never have reposted an AI ad,” he told a media outlet.
Pratt had shared various viral AI video ads, including one where he transforms into a superhero battling a Joker-like figure. Reflecting on this, he expressed regret, saying, “I’ve given my opponents the perfect opportunity to attack me, something they haven’t had many chances to do before.”
Pratt has focused on homelessness as a key issue in his campaign, commenting on the seriousness of the situation, especially while discussing Bass, who criticized the video.
“You have seven people dying on the streets every day. It’s dangerous. But now you have to defend yourself about a video of a tomato hitting you?” he said.
As the election date approaches, candidates are making final attempts to distinguish themselves and encourage voter turnout. For Pratt, this means prioritizing issues like homelessness and the city’s affordability crisis—a strategy that seems to be resonating with voters.
Recent polling indicates that Pratt holds substantial support in significant areas of Los Angeles, suggesting a challenge for Bass.
In the San Fernando Valley, where the median household income is approximately $92,000, Pratt garnered 39% of the vote, while Bass followed closely with 36% and Raman trailed at 14%.
This region encompasses Van Nuys, North Hollywood, Pacoima, Sylmar, Northridge, and Reseda.
Despite homelessness being identified as the most pressing issue by voters, there’s a notable 68% disapproval rate concerning Bass’s performance.
The poll highlights that Pratt is performing particularly well in areas where dissatisfaction with Bass is most pronounced.
Pratt leads on the West Side, where the median household income is $135,383, and among those near the port district—reporting about 35% support there, while Bass and Raman are tied at 23% each.
This area includes Westwood, Marina del Rey, Mar Vista, Palms, Venice, San Pedro, Wilmington, and Harbor Gateway.
“It’s now or never. We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to right the ship in Los Angeles, but people need to get off the internet and go vote,” Pratt remarked during a campaign event in Baldwin Village.
“I don’t want to hear people complain about drug addiction and vagrant fires and potholes when they didn’t vote. There is no destiny other than what we make of it.”
Whether people will respond to his call to action and turn out to vote remains to be seen.
