A left-wing ‘reporter’ ended up with egg on his face after trying to question community activist and LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt about his motives for running.
As TGP readers know, Pratt has become a national sensation with his brutally honest talk about LA’s numerous problems and the politically incorrect solutions he has proposed. Because of this, he has soared in the polls and appears positioned to make the Mayoral runoff, giving him a one-on-one opportunity with either failed Mayor Karen Bass or communist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman.
Pratt has also gone viral several times with some of the most creative ads imaginable.
During an interview last week on NBC, a media hack insinuated that Pratt was running because he wanted to grow his brand and did not really want the job.
Pratt responded with fire upon hearing this. He first noted that he and his family lost everything they had ever worked for in the Palisades Fire, which Mayor Karen Bass let happen while she was partying in Ghana.
Pratt then made clear that he only became politically active after the city leaders lied and covered up the after-action reports on the fire, and when he realized no competent individual was going to run for mayor.
The community activist then made one final point: running for mayor has been the exact opposite of ‘fun.’ He specifically cited the number of death threats he receives and the fact that his children need security while at the beach because of the dangerous psychos that come by.

NBC: What about people who might say, ‘This is just about self-promotion.’
Is this just about your brand? Because man, your brand is hotter than ever.
How do you convince these people that you really want this job, and that you really want to change this city?
PRATT: Let’s rewind: everything I’ve ever worked for burned in my house. Everything my parents ever worked for burned in their house.
I got in this to expose the corruption and negligence of our city leaders…When I proved that (our leaders) were obstructing justice after the (Palisades) fire, that’s when I organically got in the race because no one else was going to run.
I had to step into this. Running for mayor is not fun. I have to have 24-hour security with the amount of death threats. My kid now has security next to him when he goes into the ocean, because psychos come to the beach.
This is not like ‘Oh, I get to be on a news show’…This is not fun fighting DSA socialists in the city of L.A. So, anybody who is really paying attention, politics is not fun.
And now I’m deep in politics, fighting a machine that is against the truth.
