LOS ANGELES—Spencer Pratt knows he doesn’t need to be universally liked.

At an annual tennis invitational and white party at a billionaire’s Beverly Hills mansion last weekend, the reality TV villain and mayoral hopeful marveled at his potential path to victory.

“It’s pretty incredible you can become the mayor with only 51% of people liking you. I’m like, ‘I can do that,’” Pratt told the crowd.

The 42-year-old rose to millennial fame as the dark prince of “The Hills,” playing the love interest of his now-wife, Heidi Montag. He provoked conflict with fellow cast members and was seen by fans as fraying Montag’s relationship with her best friend.

The couple settled into Pacific Palisades with their two sons, and Pratt opened a healing crystals business called Pratt Daddy. He trained hummingbirds to eat nectar out of his hand and posted the videos on Instagram.

If cities like Miami can deal with the vagrancy problem, falsely labeled in most media sources the "homeless" problem, then there's no logical reason why LA won't except a lack of will. Hopefully, Pratt will be able to deal with this.

Isabella Simonetti? Seriously? ROTFLMAO.

[dfwgator]

Reality TV?!?!?! It was acting.

California DOES have a HUGE homeless problem, six times worse than Florida’s.

Except

Hand feeding hummingbirds and Mayor of LA. Going to be quite the resume.

It’s interesting which TV people they choose to accept. There’s a guy named Zelensky that they love and admire but they don’t rag on the way he played the piano.

The usual Dem logic. Pratt is not perfect so vote for the commie who has already shown she can’t do the job and is a disaster to boot.

My kids used to watch that show. I would sometimes be in the room. Pratt was a smarmy jerk. He played the part well.

It was a TV show. It was an act. It was entertainment.

Would he be a good mayor? Well….he can’t be worse than what they have now.

[V_TWIN]

Yep.....nothing real about reality tv

“was a reality TV villain. Now he wants to be LA.’s savior.”

In contrast California is lousy with real life villains running and RUINING the damned place.

I guess I don’t hang out with the right class of people. Because I had no idea what a “white party” was. On the surface it sounds kinda, hmm… you know.

So I looked it up. It’s a party where everyone wears only white clothing.

I’m going to forward this definition to Al Sharpton. Because it I don’t, he might get all worked up.

He might get all woked up.

A TV villain does not real villain make. California of all places should know this.🙄

After listening to Mr. Pratt utterly destroy his two opponents, the wholly incompetent Karen Bass and - worse, IMO - communist Nithya Ramen, I do not understand how anyone in LA could vote for anyone except Spencer Pratt.

But...given how LA usually votes and given the number of stupid voters, illegals, homeless paid to vote, plus vote fraud, I fully expect Karen Bass to be re-elected.

[cableguymn]

Have you seen the other democrat running? She’s worse than bass

[xp38]

If they split the leftist vote maybe Pratt can win.

[packrat35]

He dances in high heels also.

They had to have a villain to make the show interesting. Otherwise no one would watch.
