Hollywood Targets LA Mayoral Candidate Spencer Pratt

As the race for the Los Angeles city mayor heats up, some top-name celebrities are rushing to the rescue of incumbent Mayor Karen Bass by targeting her rising-star challenger Spencer Pratt.

Actor, comedian, and game show host Drew Carey recently took to the social media stage to spout off about Pratt and cuss in current Dem fashion.

“Anyone who votes for, or endorses Spencer Pratt for Mayor of LA needs to get their head out of their a**,” Carey wrote.

Carey’s tirade is no isolated rant. It’s actually a reflection of a broader pattern on the part of select Hollywood celebrities, who appear to be trying to save Bass from an embarrassing loss come election day.

Aside from Carey, additional Pratt detractors include Jimmy Kimmel, Chelsea Handler, and Lisa Rinna, to name a few.

Bass is a longtime Democrat politician, who has unsurprisingly collected endorsements from some of Hollywood’s most far-left hotshots.

Why would celebrities the likes of Carey and Kimmel be rushing to endorse Bass and attack Pratt?

Much of the celebrity praise is obviously virtue signaling. But there is also a desire on the part of some to firmly align themselves with high-profile status quo politicians.

Celebrity activists are in a panic because the unexpected happened.

Pratt had a highly successful reality TV show, which makes him a bona fide Hollywood star himself.

Now he has succeeded in bursting onto the political scene with his blunt-truth communication style and his incredibly effective use of social media. His big rise in the polls says it all.

As June 2 quickly approaches, things are reaching a fever pitch. Many who live in the celebrity bubble appear to be visibly shaken.

That’s because to them the mayoral election is less about government solutions and more about far-left ideology and self-preservation.

A lot of the A-listers live in gated communities and work in sequestered studio lots. Such settings are far-removed from the failing streets that ordinary Angelenos have to endure.

Endorsements of Bass allow them to feign compassion without having to address the policy failures that have turned the City of Angels into a scene out of Dante’s Inferno.

Pratt’s rise is directly related to the incompetent leadership and failed policies of the city’s incumbent mayor.

Having lost his home in the 2025 Palisades wildfire, he has been publicly criticizing Bass and other state leaders for the inadequate preparation, empty reservoirs, delayed responses, and broader lack of governance regarding infrastructure, crime, and homelessness.

His campaign for mayor has emphasized practical fixes, such as bolstering the LAPD, mandating treatment for those with addiction and mental health issues, cleaning up the street encampments, and demanding accountability for nonprofits that are gobbling up billions of dollars.

The grassroots support for Pratt continues to build as he is besting Bass in small-dollar campaign donations as well as in the polls. To the celebrity class this, along with his genuineness, makes him dangerous. Deriding him is just plain easier than debating him.

Pratt points out that, under Bass’s leadership, the city of Los Angeles has struggled with persistent homelessness, surging violent crime, and emergency preparedness gaps, which were exposed by the fires.

It turns out that Bass’s leftist credentials were actually honed during the 1970s, when she joined the Venceremos Brigade and made multiple trips to Cuba doing construction and agricultural work in support of Fidel Castro’s revolution.

The Brigade was organized by pro-Cuba leftists that had Marxist-Leninist ties. Rather than being a humanitarian organization, it was simply a communist one.

The mayor has admitted that she grew up around “red diaper babies” (children of Communist Party members). She has also said that radicals and communists played a “huge role” in her early influences.

In 2016, after Castro’s death, she issued a statement characterizing his demise as a “great loss to the people of Cuba.”

In 2017, she inserted congressional remarks, eulogizing longtime Communist Party USA leader Oneil Cannon as a “friend and mentor.”

Pratt is resonating with the voting public precisely because he is mirroring what they see. He’s no routine polished politician reciting talking points. Instead he is advocating for a rejection of the far-left orthodoxy that created the whole mess.

In a nutshell, LA is a city that is desperate for deliverance from its misery.

Pratt is offering a much-needed remedy to the insanity of doing the same thing over and over again and getting the same wretched results.
