After losing his home in the Palisades Fire, former reality star Spencer Pratt launched a viral mayoral campaign ad blasting Los Angeles leadership — and while Liz Wheeler isn’t the biggest fan of celebrities getting political, she believes there is something different about him.
“I confess: I am not typically a fan of celebrities who, just because they’re bored after the peak of their career, dip their toe in politics. I’m not typically a fan of that,” Wheeler says.
“However, Spencer Pratt might be a little bit different,” she admits, before playing Pratt’s viral campaign ad, which he reportedly shot in a few hours on a very limited budget and which has millions of views on X alone.
“This is where Mayor Bass lives,” Pratt begins, standing in front of a mansion. “You notice something?”
“They don’t have to live in the mess they’ve created — where you live,” he says, before showing a homeless encampment.
Pratt goes on to reveal where he now lives after the Palisades Fire: in a trailer.
“This is where I live. They let my home burn down. I know what the consequences of failed leadership are. That’s why I’m running for mayor — for my sons and the rest of us Angelenos that want to stop these corrupt politicians from destroying our city,” he continues. “We are going to get the golden age of Los Angeles back.”
“The best part of this will be how immediately obvious that it becomes to everyone in the country — not just to residents of Los Angeles, not even just to California residents, but to everyone in the country, people on the right and the left, how immediately obvious it becomes that disgusting, dangerous, degrading cities like Los Angeles are not inevitable,” Wheeler comments.
“They are, in fact, a deliberate political choice that the Democrats make intentionally to hurt you and to control you. This is also why Democrats are not going to fight fair. They cannot let Spencer Pratt win, because they cannot have the American people, by and large, understand that disgusting, dangerous, degrading cities are a deliberate political choice that Democrats have made intentionally to harm and to control you,” she continues.
“And this is why we, the American people — even those of us who don’t live in Los Angeles — must help Spencer Pratt win in any way that we can offer our assistance,” she adds.
