- Drew Carey calls Spencer Pratt a ‘serial scammer’ and urges LA voters to reject his mayoral campaign (foxnews.com)
Drew Carey took to social media to deliver a sharp critique of Spencer Pratt’s bid for Los Angeles mayor. The longtime host of “The Price is Right” posted on Threads, urging LA voters to reconsider their choices ahead of the June primaries.
“Anyone who votes for, or endorses Spencer Pratt for Mayor of LA needs to get their head out of their a–,” Carey wrote candidly. He continued, “I get being angry or dissatisfied, but at least support someone competent-not a serial scammer without a soul or moral compass.”
Carey didn’t hold back, adding a blunt, “F–k this guy already.”
Spencer Pratt, 42, entered the mayoral race in January after losing his home in the devastating 2025 Palisades wildfire. His campaign has centered on holding incumbent Mayor Karen Bass accountable for what he describes as mishandling of the fires. Alongside his wife Heidi Montag and other property owners, Pratt filed a lawsuit earlier this year against the city of Los Angeles and the Department of Water and Power, accusing them of negligence that contributed to the fire damage.
Despite the criticism, Pratt remains vocal about his vision for the city. In a recent post, he urged residents to “think bigger for LA,” emphasizing the need to address the city’s decline.
“We don’t have to accept the filth and the decline,” he wrote. “We have the greatest slice of heaven on Earth with our city, and we deserve better.
Vote for Pratt. Vote for LA.
Vote TODAY. Let’s clean this city together.”
Pratt’s campaign has faced scrutiny over his registered Republican status and endorsement hints from former President Donald Trump. While Trump expressed cautious support, he also questioned the fairness of California’s voting system, suggesting it is “rigged” against certain candidates.
In response, Pratt has distanced himself from party politics, stating, “There’s no R next to my name, there’s no D next to my name. I’m not part of a political party, because I hate politicians.” He describes himself simply as “a pissed off Angeleno who loves my city and is fed up with what corrupt politicians have done to her.”
The Los Angeles mayoral election is officially nonpartisan. If no candidate secures over 50% of the vote in the June 2 primary, the top two contenders will advance to a runoff in November. As the race intensifies, the city watches closely to see whether Pratt’s outsider campaign can overcome established political forces-and the pointed remarks from figures like Drew Carey.
