- Fox News viewers rage ‘he’s a monster’ as Spencer Pratt claims his mayoral run was ‘God’s plan’ (themirror.com)
Spencer Pratt, known for his reality TV fame, has stirred controversy with his remarks after taking an early lead in the Los Angeles mayoral primary. The former Hills star, who is running as a registered Republican, is challenging incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. Despite Bass securing enough votes to advance to the runoff, Pratt’s campaign has captured attention-not only for his political stance but for his invocation of divine guidance in his bid for office.
Speaking to the press on June 2, Pratt expressed a strong belief that his mayoral run was part of a higher plan. “I didn’t know I would be here tonight.
But it’s obviously God’s plan,” he said, emphasizing his commitment to represent all Angelenos regardless of political affiliation. “Anyone that’s a Los Angeles citizen that wants a basic quality of life, I will show that in five months,” he added.
Pratt’s comments have drawn sharp criticism on social media, with many questioning the sincerity and appropriateness of his statements. Critics recalled his controversial past, with one user labeling him “a monster” and another referencing his previous investments in what they called “Mayan apocalypse crystals.” Fans of the former reality star, however, remain supportive, with some expressing confidence in his chances.
The mayoral race also features an interesting political dynamic involving former President Donald Trump. While Trump publicly identified Pratt as a “big MAGA person” and expressed hopes for his success, Pratt himself downplayed the endorsement.
When asked about Trump’s backing, he told TMZ, “The only support I need is from moms that wanna feel safe in Los Angeles. I’m laser-focused on that.”
Trump further commented on the race, calling Pratt a “character” and suggesting that the election could be impacted by a “really rigged vote” in the predominantly Democratic state. This tension aligns with the president’s ongoing disagreements with California’s political leadership, including Governor Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass.
As the contest moves toward a runoff, Pratt’s blend of celebrity, political ambition, and faith-based rhetoric continues to spark debate among voters and observers alike.
