Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass sparked outrage after accusing Palisades Fire victim Spencer Pratt of “exploiting the grief” of wildfire victims in his campaign to unseat her.
Bass, who has been losing ground to Pratt in the lead-up to the mayoral election, made the extraordinary claim during an interview with MeidasTouch.
“Well, honestly, before this, I had never heard of Spencer Pratt,” she said of the former reality TV star.
“But the thing I am concerned about is that I feel like he’s exploiting the grief of people in the Palisades. And I think that’s reprehensible. He is about his own celebrity.”
Critics immediately seized on the mayor’s comments, calling her out for attacking a wildfire victim.
“Exploiting grief? HE LOST EVERYTHING ALONG WITH FAMILY,” one commenter wrote on X.
“The fire burned 36,000 acres in Los Angeles County, destroyed or damaged more than 10,000 buildings, displaced tens of thousands of residents and claimed at least 10 lives. But she’s bent out of shape about Pratt drawing attention to it because they ran out of water,” another added.
“My whole f—ing neighborhood burned down. There was a fire hydrant across the street from our house. Exploit away, Spencer. This fool has no business in government,” a third said.
Even Trump administration official Richard Grenell chimed in.
“Career politician is offended that someone new is running. She’s incredibly condescending. She thinks she is owed reelection,” he wrote on X.
Others thought Bass should not concern herself with Pratt when she was overseeing during the disaster.
“Just the opposite, it’s because you handled our fires so miserably that Pratt came forward to right your wrongs,” one X user commented.
“Girl you were in Ghana during the Palisades fire go back to bed,” another added.

Well, she’s finally experiencing adversity for her incompetence......a rare occurrence for a dei baby that’s never heard the word NO.
Karen Bass trained with the Fidel Castro Cuban military in Cuba, illegally and then legally thanks to Obama’s weakness.
She must be so happy now in her withered, shriveled up body and face that she lived long enough to see a mighty wave of Communist groups to overthrow and take over the capitalist USA in the coming months.
God forbid.
From her comments here it’s obvious she still refuses to take any personal responsibility at all for her incompetence.
Typical though, she’s too stupid to even know she’s incompetent.
The voters who put her in office are shameful.
California State Assembly 2004. Mayor who won with 54.83%.
She represents her voters well.
Gawd helps those who help themselves. So far, at least in last few decades, there is piddly evidence that conservatives have the balls or energy to fix the problem. Too many just sit on their butts whinging, or going to church and prey that Gawd will carry the issue.
She represents her voters well.
Garbage In, Garbage Out.
If Angelinos are dumb enough to re-elect Bass they deserve whatever they get.
Go Spencer!
They don;t DESERVE him!!!
Bkmk
Bass is fortunate to be running in a city where 60% of the voters are vile diseased migrant invaders...
She’ll win, no problemo...
Her branch of (U.S.) communism at the time was the “Reconciliationists”. You can find more information on the L.A. communists at the Smith College archives.
Pratt has a new ad. 3 minutes. Crank the volume...

Crazy ad, but he’s right. Somebody has to take out the “Bassura” and save Los Angeles. It has become a living sewer under Karen Bass.

Go Pratt!
Pratt is the man!
The brainless knob Karen Bass seems to be unaware that any grief being felt by any Palisades inhabitants is because of her and her insane California policies.

Humanity and especially LA is literally doomed with her as Mayor!
