Outrage: Another sleazy attack on L.A. mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt over his living arrangements after his home burned down
American Thinker ^ | 14 May, 2026 | Monica Showalter

Does Spencer Pratt, the conservative Los Angeles mayoral candidate whose home burned up in the Palisades fire, ever get a break over his housing arrangements?

They're still picking on him over his desperate post-fire living arrangements, this time with TMZ attacking Pratt's decision to put his family in a nice hotel for a few days.

Hypocrite, you see, he's supposed to be living in a silverstream trailer on the rubble of his burned home as if an arrangement like that would even be safe for a family with two small children.

First, the Los Angeles Times went after him for living at his parents' house in Santa Barbara, now TMZ went after him for putting his family in a hotel.

The man lost his home in the Palisades fire last year; he's now navigating an ocean of fees, red tape and permit hell to get it rebuilt, he said he had to wait for a government disaster loan as a fire victim for the trailer which only came through recently. It's in a zone with no water, no electricity, sporadic internet, and no law enforcement against looters and predators. In addition, he's been drawing death threats from the left as the campaign heats up and he rises sharply in the polls. Now he's moved his family to a hotel, which is a lot safer and less stressful on his small children during the campaign -- a mere six days, Spencer said -- so they are now claiming he's somehow dishonest for not living in the burned out rubble of his non-existent home.

It's all supposed to be an argument for not voting for him, and instead, voting to for Mayor Karen Bass, who failed to prepare for the fire, failed to put it out before it could take out two

Can folks live on their burned property? Are the property taxes still the same? Is there water in the hydrants yet?

He handled an interview perfectly. When asked about the trailer and the hotel room he simply said “ I don’t live at the hotel Bel Air. I don’t live in the Airstream. I don’t live in Santa Barbara. I don’t have a house. They burned it down,”

I thought the last person to live in a trailer around there moved out after Rockford’s neighborhood got gentrified.

Commiefornians are perpetually stoned. There’s no reasoning with them. I deal with them every day. Stoned and/or stupid.

The attacks on him so far have helped his campaign. Either the left is moronic or he has people on the other side secretly helping him. I know the first option is a given.

Now do other Commiefornia politicians. Eric Swallowswell listed a Maryland address as his primary residence. How many other Commiefornia politicians even live in Commiefornia?

Magic Johnson just made a big public endorsement of Bass.

The usual voting bloc - illegals, welfare parasites, homeless (who will vote by being bused to the polls or ballots filled out for them by vote harvesters) - who make up a large percentage of LA’s voters- along with a healthy dose of vote fraud - will put Karen Bass back in office.

She does nothing about homelessness, fraud, fire safety, cleaning up parks and overall cleanliness - which is exactly what her voters want.

If LA is so stupid, why does Deep State have to steal its elections...?

Adam Corolla had this guy on his podcast.
He bought a big Airstream trailer and parked it on the lot where his former house was.
However, it was sitting on huge concrete 1’ thick beams
They had to bring a crane in to sit the trailer on it.
I assume that he spent tens of thousands just to put this very expensive camper trailer on the lot.
