Screencap of Twitter/X video. This weekend on CNN, liberal contributor Leigh McGowan threw a hissy fit when another panelist, Lydia Moynihan, was talking about the success of Spencer Pratt’s mayoral campaign in Los Angeles.
It began with McGowan rolling her eyes but then she exploded when she couldn’t hold it together anymore.
This is proof that Pratt is doing well. As Rush Limbaugh always used to say, the left will tell you who they’re afraid of. That’s exactly what is happening here.
FOX News has details:
CNN panelist Lydia Moynihan and political commentator Leigh McGowan sparred during a heated segment on “Table for Five” over LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt and his comments about homelessness, drug use and public safety in Los Angeles.
“I think Republicans should be taking copious notes because he’s literally – you just got to embrace common sense and be normal,” Moynihan said during the segment while defending Pratt’s growing online popularity and criticism of city leadership…
McGowan pushed back immediately, saying Pratt’s comments and political aspirations reflected celebrity culture rather than practical governance.
“Is this common sense for real?” McGowan said. “Like, as an LA voter, as someone that will vote for mayor in Los Angeles, I’m telling you, this is the opposite of common sense. This is so embarrassing.”…
“I am so exhausted of being surrounded by this level of idiocy,” McGowan said. “This guy is not practical. This man’s plan was to live off his reality fame.”
McGowan also questioned Pratt’s campaign-style promises on homelessness, corruption and “renters’ rights.”
“He says he’s going to end corruption. How?” McGowan said. “He says he’s going to have no more homeless. How? He says he’s going to have renters’ rights. How?”

Isn’t it fascinating how McGowan is demanding to know ‘how’ Pratt is going to do the things he is promising? Liberals rarely ask that question when people like Mamdani promise the moon to voters.
What you’re seeing here is fear. Pratt’s campaign has gone viral and represents a real threat to the left. If he wasn’t, you wouldn’t be seeing this kind of behavior on CNN.

If Pratt does no more than expose liberals’ malicious fear, he’s accomplished a lot.
Let’s just pray he wins.
Serious question: Who watches CNN?
The typical lib response: “I’m so much smarter than this guy running for office. He’s a child and doesn’t understand that all the BS that we’re doing is MANDATORY”.
Pratt’s comments has reduced these Leftnick’s TDS affected brains into a ball of ganglia full of burned out nerve cells.
He’s kicking the leftist ass and he knows it, and so do they. If LA wasn’t a 💩hole. He’d be a walk in.
If she’s exhausted being surrounded by idiocy, why does she work at CNN?
