Los Angeles Republican mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt continued his stretch of running arguably one of the greatest campaigns in modern times, this time throwing almost every politician under the bus and reminding voters what he brings to the table as he tries changing minds and saving the major American city from ruin under Democrat hegemonic rule.
For context, Spencer Pratt is a former reality television star who was living in the Palisades when an arsonist set ablaze scores of acres, destroying thousands of homes and killing at least a dozen people. Watching his home disappear and the unforgivably lacklust response by Democrat leadership at the local and state level, a fed up Pratt decided someone needed to forge a new path for the city, and that person would be him.
Pratt has relentlessly attacked current mayor Karen Bass and the Democrat machine in California for its horrific handling of the inferno. And his message is consistent: Do Los Angelinos want to continue stepping over homeless addicts while watching millionaire, elitist politicians ignore all of their problems?
Then in a late-May 2026 interview with CNN, as the famously fake news outlet tries to make heads and tails of his popular, populist campaign, Pratt continued discarding the politics-of-old model and skewered politicians as being unworthy of praise or role model status. Instead, he looked to the Christian faith for guidance.
“Now, who is your political role model?” the CNN interviewer asked of him. In response, Pratt immediately turned to Christ. “Jesus Christ. “He was a politician. He had to go in,” the momentum-gaining candidate declared without hesitation.
“And are there any modern politicians that you’re especially studying or drawn to?” the CNN interview pressed again, unimpressed with the first response he got. Again, Pratt refuted the idea. “No, I’m not a politician. I don’t want to be politician. I want to be a fighter for the people,” Pratt continued masterfully.
Pratt was then asked about past references to Barack Hussein Obama, to which Pratt agreed there was a likeness in style, though obviously he didn’t view him as a role model in the sense CNN wanted him to say. “Yeah, I’m most similar to Obama… and I know The View ladies said I don’t have a law degree, so I’m going to work on that online in the next, before November, I probably can get one, be a baby bar,” he added, hilariously torching the woke panel of insufferable women on ABC’s long-running daytime program.
Not satisfied with Pratt’s answers, CNN then pivoted to highlighting Pratt’s lack of managerial experience, as if that was another gotcha moment. “As you’ve pointed out, that you know, as mayor, you need a lot of advisors and help, because it’s a giant job in a giant city, and you don’t have as much managerial experience of a city, and you’ve said that you’ve talked with a lot of different potential advisors who are willing to come on board with you, but don’t want to say so publicly because of fears about their own safety. Is there anybody, though, that names that you can give us, or the type of people that you’re talking to, to get a better sense of what a Pratt administration would actually look like,” the long-winded question came.
And again, Pratt expertly picked apart that weak argument by pointing to Karen Bass’s empty resume, dispute the fact her whole career has been in politics. “Well, first, let’s rewind to what Mayor Bass’s past experience running a city when she got elected…all she ever did was name a post office. So, this idea that she came from,” he said.
“She had been the speaker of the assembly, she had run the community coalition, and she had been a congress member and chair of the Congressional Black Caucus? None of that connects to managing, right? [She’d never run a city]. Thank you. Yeah, that’s what I’m saying.” So, if we’re doing, like, who knows how to yell at the LA DWP for having two reservoirs empty, I am going to be better at that than she clearly is. But everyone will know my team in two weeks when I become the mayor.”
