Spencer Pratt must be doing something right, because the whole LA industrial complex from journalists to washed up comedians is crawling out to attack him. Funny thing with stats. You can pull numbers and bend them to whatever story your heart wants. Any real stats guy will tell you that’s not insight but bias. Garbage in, headline out. So let’s look at LA. Nobody feels safe. Crime everywhere. People are packing up and leaving. But the spreadsheet at the LA Times says everything’s great. Crime is just a bunch of four digit codes in a system. A robbery’s a code. A stabbing’s a code. You don’t have to lie about anything. You just pick the softer code. Aggravated assault quietly becomes “simple assault.” Off the books that matter. The guy still got stabbed. This isn’t a theory btw. The LAPD’s Inspector General audited the department and found 25K aggravated assaults downgraded to “minor incidents.” From 2008-2014. Stabbings. Beatings that put people in the hospital. All shoved into a column where they vanish. Real violence ran 36% higher than what they reported. And the best part? The LA Times KNOWS all this. Their own reporters broke the stories. Then Prop 47 shows up in 2014 and hands them a bigger eraser. Anything under $950 stops being a felony. Now it’s “shoplifting.” A ticket. Guy strolls out of CVS with both arms full and legally that’s about as serious as jaywalking. Stores stopped bothering to report it. So guess what, crime went down. Oh, and the cops? They left too. 10,000 to 8,600, lowest in 30 years. Fewer cops means fewer reports get written. Not sure we should call that win. And god help you if you actually call 911. Last year LAPD answered barely half their calls in the time they’re supposed to. You wait forty minutes for a non emergency, and eventually you stop calling. Here’s the best part: when you stop calling, the city gets to say crime went down. Now I’ll be straight, because I’m not gonna lie to make a point. Murders did drop. 230 last year, lowest since the 1960s. But “fewer murders” and “safest in decades” are not the same sentence, and they’re betting you won’t notice the swap. A dead body is the one thing you can’t code away. Everything below it, the assaults, the break ins, the smashed car windows, the stuff that actually decides whether you feel safe walking to your own door, all of it runs on reporting they’ve been caught rigging for years to push a narrative. They even juiced the trophy number. “101 percent homicide clearance rate.” Sounds like a miracle till you read the fine print: they’re counting decade old cold cases and dead suspects who never saw a courtroom. So I’ll ask the LA Times. Safer for whom?

@therossg Oh god. He was always a no but anyone associated with Bonin is a hell no.

This guy is part of the NGO grifter class. Took $750,000 fireaid, no one in the Palisades got a thing, said the only thing he did in the Palisades was manage traffic. Gave $39,000 to his old pal Eric Swalwell. Mike Bonin and Bonin’s husband (NGO business partner) are pals. Karen Bass donors are telling people to vote for him. His entire campaign is a spoiler.

@JoanO294743 @UnrigLA ? Anyone in LA is tired of living in filth. At least Spencer is talking about how to fix it.

@funkefunk @UnrigLA MAGA?

As expected, Pratt posted a big fundraising haul. Still, don’t think anyone was willing to bet he’d pull in $2.719 mil.

The “radical plan” is to put them in rehab and give them a job instead of money to buy drugs.

@DyingVenice @christopherrufo @CityJournal Venice results: 79% were not from the City of LA 56% were from other states 19% were from other cities in LA County 4% were from other counties in California

@runners_brain @cwebbonline She was also an addict so he’s got even more experience needed.

@cwebbonline We’re good. We want him. People with qualifications have shit all over the city and burned my family’s home down. You and his sister can kick rocks.

FLASHBACK: This was back in February. Did people not listen to Spencer Pratt’s sister? She literally warned folks: “A vote for him is a vote for stupidity.” And I’ll add that he has no qualifications to run anything, let alone the second-largest city in the US.

@cwebbonline She was a drug addict. Take it with a grain of salt. Makes him more experienced to deal with this mess Base and Gavin created.

44 arrests. 24 formal charges. 0 jury trials. lol

My house burned down. I lost everything. I can’t rebuild. As a 42 year old man with 2 kids, I’ve had to move into my parents’ house, and I’m getting attacked for that? This is journalism? This is why no decent people ever get into politics. This is why you only have goblins running everything. God help you if you try to make things right for your community…if you lose your entire town, “journalists” mock you for not making your kids sleep in the toxic dirt on your burned out lot. Who raised you, dude?

I joined up with Amanda McCants and 3 special survivors to speak up for the voiceless victims of this unimaginable animal abuse being ignored in our city. This ENDS when I'm Mayor. Vote for the dogs. Vote for Pratt.

@CBSNews He’s not preaching at me that he’s poor. He is not spending taxpayer dollars. His home was burned down by the state incompetence. Nothing else matters. This is the dumbest story right now.

Where does Spencer Pratt live? That is the latest controversy in the LA mayoral race. Like tens of thousands of people in Los Angeles, Pratt and his family were displaced during the wildfires in 2025. Their house completely burn down. In one of his campaign ads, Pratt claimed that he had been living in a trailer on his burned-down lot. TMZ this week reported he lived in the Hotel Bel-Air. And Pratt has responded. #losangeles #la

@californiapost Can we ban homeless fires first?

LA mayoral hopeful Nithya Raman proposes backyard BBQ ban trib.al/qaHiUo7

@asteel2 Will suck having clean streets and drug addicts in rehab. I know. Terrible!

If you dumb ass mother fuckers vote Spencer Pratt into office….

@arttavana Oh shoot I didn’t realize taxpayers were paying for this. Oh wait, we aren’t. Move along …

This is the end of his campaign.

@5149jamesli He’s not spending taxpayer money and preaching about anti-capitalism…. So no one cares.

I'm telling you, this dude is a trojan horse.

@electionsjoe No thx! She’s awful.

Vote for Raman. We cannot let Pratt have a chance at LA mayor.

@jonfavs Again, no one cares how HE spends HIS OWN money. He’s not pretending to be anything else (ie socialist). If he was in office and spending tax payer like this, yes, a problem. But let’s get there first.

How many LA residents who lost homes in the '25 fire are currently living in the $1500/night Hotel Bel-Air? My guess is 2: Spencer and Heidi.

@CBSNews @spencerpratt Wow, shocked to see accurate reporting. Much needed. Anyone with eyes on LA knew the winds were nothing at the start. I watched the hill blaze starting at 11:30a and wondered why there seemed to be no resources. People belong in jail.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt kicked off the city's mayoral debate in a heated exchange on Wednesday after Pratt called Bass "an incredible liar," and claimed she misguided Angelenos about the facts of the Palisades Fire when it broke out last year. CBS News' @JonVigliotti, who has been closely reporting on and investigating the blaze for over a year, fact checked two key moments from the debate.
