Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is facing a surprisingly intense and serious primary threat from challenger Spencer Pratt this election cycle, with Pratt focusing on the wildfires that destroyed much of the Pacific Palisades neighborhood and using the general anger of Los Angelenos about the disastrous mismanagement of their city against the mayor.
As part of that well-executed and high-energy campaign, he has been releasing very funny ads that feature the use of artificial intelligence to generate entertaining scenes that call out the mayor for her terrible policies and their even worse effects. Such is about what Mayor Bass freaked out during an appearance on CNN.
In fact, she insisted that an ad featured angry Los Angelenos throwing tomatoes at her and other much-detested city officials was encouraging violence against elected officials, saying, “But what’s worrying me now is, is that his social media is now taking on a violent turn.”
Continuing, she clutched her pearls and claimed that it is Pratt who is endangering the safety of officials, ignoring that so much political violence that has occurred as of late has been committed by leftists, not rightists, and certainly not conservatives who are annoyed about high property taxes and ineffective government.
Yet it was the point that she pushed anyway, however absurd it was. She said, making the jaw dropper of a claim, “And that worries me, because when you do that, and when your messages are so hateful, or when you demonize people, then you do provoke people who are unstable, and you can jeopardize people’s safety.”
She was asked, “You mean like the throwing of the tomatoes?” and responded, “Well, the throwing of the tomatoes, which look like blood, or drowning me and the governor in the reservoir. But there’s also other violent scenes, and so I’ve noticed that that it’s taking on a violent trend.”
Watch her freak out about the ad here:

Whatever Mayor Bass and her CNN propagandists think of them, the ads, and Pratt’s general campaign strategy, appear to be generally working. While Democrats have long had an iron grip on Los Angeles, Pratt has done so well that new polling shows he could be within striking distance of her.
Fox News Digital, posting about that momentous news on X, said, “Spencer Pratt is suddenly within single digits of L.A. Mayor Karen Bass, with new polling showing the former reality TV star and independent candidate gaining 12 points since March.”
It added, noting the results and what Pratt is doing to try to get ahead of the incumbent who is also part of the political machine, “The Emerson poll has Bass at 30%, Pratt at 22%, and socialist-linked Nithya Raman at 19% Pratt’s campaign is leaning hard into L.A.’s homelessness crisis, using sharp social media and attention-grabbing ads to turn a long-shot bid into a race people are now watching.”
So, while Pratt still has a good ways to go to make up that difference and pull ahead, he is at least within striking distance of her and has a chance of pulling a victory out of his hat, if he continues to campaign well and focus on those popular issues.

Speaking of “woke” politicians....
State Representative Angie Nixon (D-Jacksonville) was arrested after staging a sit-in at Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s office.
The demonstration was in protest of a mid-decade congressional redistricting map that Republicans approved during a special legislative session. The arrest occurred after she and other demonstrators refused to disperse when ordered by law enforcement.
Ping!.................
Has the commie found a way to keep water in the hydrants yet?
Pratt has no chance. Bass leads him by 8 percent with 19 percent for an avowed communist. LA is lost, as is the rest of California and a majority of this nation.
Throwing tomatoes at bad politicianz is like throwing pop bottles at bad umpires, an American tradition.
The tone of the article ignores the fact that The People’s Sewer Of Kalifornia taught the nation how to steal elections. And LA is a part of The Sewer. That Crass Bass has no worries.
LA deserves a chance, so i’ve been sending money to that mad as hell Dad. Go Spencer!
Thanks doomer. We’ll see 6/2
We’ll see
Me too!
If this election were held with the voting restrictions and guidelines that Florida has, Pratt would have fair shot at winning. In Los Angeles? I really don’t see it.
Protests are protected by free speech laws - but having a
‘protest’ in someone’s office is NOT protected. Liberals feel the laws don’t apply to them - but they do. Good for DeSantis.
I don’t get that sense. I get a real sense that not only can he win - he can win big. Karen Bass is a special type of stupid - yes she can f*ck up a sure thing. I think we are watching it.
“Protests are protected by free speech laws.”
No, they are not. The right to “peaceably assemble” is protected.
L
I hope I’m wrong. But as an ex Ca native that has been watching the state go straight down the tubes for the last 30 years I’m pretty sure that I’ll be vindicated.
Protests are protected by free speech laws - but having a
‘protest’ in someone’s office is NOT protected. Liberals feel the laws don’t apply to them - but they do. Good for DeSantis.
Democrats have redefined free speech to mean screaming in people’s ear, occupying buildings, stopping other speakers from being heard, blocking roads, and destroying public property. Judges let them get away with it so it emboldens them to do more.
Yes we will see SoCal elect another complete moron as mayor. Count on it. Either Bass-turd or the Communist.
Spencer Pratt’s campaign ads are great! There is one that is the Lego take-off of “Everything is Awesome” except it is “Everything is Awful”.
Those ads may really make a difference.
