Spencer Pratt is causing quite a lot of panic in the Democrat stronghold of Los Angeles.

We know that the Democrat establishment is very, very afraid of his momentum, and further proof of that was provided on Wednesday night when Democrat operative late night host Jimmy Kimmel decided to go on a rant about Spencer Pratt. How dare he run for mayor just because his house burned down!

During a lengthy lament on Pratt’s rise in the polls, Kimmel declared, “Then you get a guy who is on a reality show, who’s on a lot of reality shows. His profession is to be the screaming jerk on reality shows, and his house burns down, and even though he had no private insurance on his house and doesn’t believe in climate change, he is understandably upset about his house burning down. And since he’s a moderately famous person, he gets attention. He’s on the news, he’s on social media, and for the first time in his life, people are agreeing with what he has to say. It’s hard not to agree with what he has to say. He’s angry about the same problems a lot of people here are angry about.”

However, Kimmel also claimed, “Does he have solutions to those problems? No. But at least he’s acknowledging that they are problems. So, then this angry reality show star, who grew up wealthy and popular and is not very wealthy or popular anymore, really starts to enjoy the attention. He starts to think, ‘You know, I should be mayor.’ Which is a statement that should make everyone laugh. But not everyone is laughing. Not everyone sees this as a joke. Right now, if you believe the polls, 22 percent of them are going, ‘You know what? You should be mayor.’”

Kimmel acknowledged that the people have problems with Karen Bass, but then begged the voters to pick anyone else but Pratt.

Later, Kimmel pleads, "So if you don't want to vote for Karen Bass on June 2nd, I get it. But you better find somebody else to vote for. And preferably somebody who isn't wasting on time and money to get himself back on television and for the rest of the candidates running for… pic.twitter.com/PfijcmTMXJ

Yeah, the dislike of Pratt seems to be running in the Kimmel family at the moment.

The most recent poll numbers are showing a three-way race, but those numbers might not be telling the whole story.

The UC Berkeley and Los Angeles Times poll released Thursday showed Bass leading with 26% support among likely voters, with Raman close behind at 25% and Pratt surging to 22%.

But several veteran Los Angeles political strategists told The California Post the poll misses large portions of the electorate and dramatically understates Pratt’s growing support.

Among them is veteran strategist Rick Taylor, who has spent roughly 50 years inside Los Angeles politics and is not affiliated with any mayoral campaign.

According to Taylor, internal political chatter and campaign tracking are showing Bass closer to 32%, Pratt at 30% and Raman lagging at 18%.

Taylor argues the problem starts with how many modern polls are conducted.

“These pollsters that believe in only doing digital, I do believe it is a weakness,” Taylor told The Post. “You miss people who are not inclined to spend 20 minutes on their phone or on a computer answering questions.”

And it is true that Spencer Pratt is finding a lot of grassroots support for his campaign, along with pulling off some incredibly clever campaign ads that emphasize the problems Los Angeles is currently facing. So, what did he do in response to Jimmy Kimmel losing his mind on TV? Spencer Pratt went on Greg Gutfeld’s late night TV show. After all, Gutfeld has more viewers than Kimmel does. And Pratt informed Gutfeld that he isn’t looking for Hollywood celebrities to back him.

Former reality television personality turned Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt said he is not looking for celebrity endorsements during an appearance Thursday on “Gutfeld!”

“I actually don’t want celebrities to come out and endorse me,” he said. “I don’t want anybody to endorse me except for the moms and the animal lovers in LA. That’s my entire vote.”

“I’m cool if no celebrity ever endorses me. I actually love when the celebrities attack me because then I’m like, oh, I am doing so well.”

“This is my favorite thing the internet says. They’re like, he’s so big on the internet, but is he big in the streets? Yes, the people I’m surging with are the people having to step over the naked drug addicts and step into human poop to get their $20 matcha,” he said. “Those are the the people that I’m surging the moms across Los Angeles who have to use their strollers around fentanyl, needles, and naked drug-addict zombies with machetes that maybe will chop a limb off.”

Despite being right-leaning in the deep blue California city of LA, Pratt told host Greg Gutfeld that “all” of his supporters are Democrats and argued his campaign is based on “common sense.”

“My campaign now, how I identify, besides being the common sense American, is the ‘look around’ candidate,” the former reality television personality said.

“You look around and see with your own eyes what I’m saying, and it’s true. And that’s why I’m gonna to win, because my opponents just lie, and they’ve had 10 years combined that they’ve created everything that they are looking around and seeing. So I would say, no more of this.”

Spencer Pratt, like Donald Trump in 2024, has tapped into the anger of the electorate and simply said what everyone is thinking. No one wants to live in the mess that Los Angeles has become, but before the wildfires, Democrats like Karen Bass were always able to come up with excuses. Bass’s own incompetence has put her in this position, and Nithya Raman may draw enough votes from her to make the primary election a very scary day for Democrats. That primary election is only a few days away, and Pratt is on the verge of pulling off a political upset that hasn’t been seen in decades in Los Angeles. It seems more and more likely that he will be one of the top two winners, and that the general election in November will see a level of panic on the left that will leave Jimmy Kimmel in hysterics. I don’t know why Kimmel’s so bent out of shape – he still has a house to live in.
