California is taking center stage in American politics this week with a CNN gubernatorial debate on Tuesday night and a follow-up Los Angeles mayoral debate last night. The debates included candidates from both sides of the aisle, providing an excellent view into how well the political hopefuls hold up under scrutiny.
For instance, in the gubernatorial debate, Tom Steyer announced that ICE is a criminal organization and that billionaires need to be taxed into leaving the state. (Yikes!) Katie Porter, on the other hand, made it clear that Californians 'deserve' to provide free health care for illegal alien criminals, while also showing everyone that she comes completely unhinged if anyone interrupts her.
The mayoral debate last night included Spencer Pratt (who has the best campaign ads ever) as well as current absentee mayor Karen Bass and Democratic Socialist Nithya Raman, the homelessness 'expert' who has made homelessness far worse in the city.
Last night, Pratt called Raman out on her alleged expertise about the homeless, issuing a challenge to her that she will never accept.
Pratt is 100 percent correct in his response here, including the fact that Bass and Nithya are a 'team,' trying to game the primary election so that two Democrats finish in first and second in the primary, eliminating any competition in the November runoff election.
He's also correct that Raman has done nothing to fix homelessness, other than lining Democrats' pockets with more than $400 million.
Raman is such an expert on the homeless that Pratt said in the debate that they’d stab her in the neck if she went to visit them. Hilarious!
Jesse Watters calls her Raman noodles.
Tyrus said on Gutfeld “ she ain’t goin to the location Pratt mentioned. No way, she knows he’s right”.
GO Pratt!
He definitely took those two hags to the cleaners. The only problem is that the voters who need to know are people who would never in a million years watch or hear a political debate.
They just look for the “D” and go with that.
Saw a YouTube video of the debate on the Benny Show. Spencer and his family is living out of an Airstream. Hope he wins...those two morons (Mayor Karen B. Ass and that other kook) shouldn’t be elected as a street sweeper in back of an elephant...
Indian leg wrestling?
