President Donald Trump’s ally in the Los Angeles mayoral race, reality TV star Spencer Pratt, was just denounced by one of pop culture’s most prominent libertarian celebrities.
“Anyone who votes for, or endorses Spencer Prattfall for Mayor of L.A. needs to get their head out of their a–,” Drew Carey, host of “Who’s Line Is It Anyway?” and “The Price Is Right,” posted on Threads on Monday. “I understand being angry/unsatisfied, but at least get behind someone competent and not some serial scammer without a soul or moral compass. F--- this guy already.”
Pratt has repeatedly sided with Trump on key issues, and while championing his candidacy last week, Trump implied that the only way Pratt could lose in his race against Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is if the election is stolen via "a really rigged vote in California."
"I'd like to see him do well,” Trump said. “He's a character. I assume he probably supports me...I heard he's a big MAGA person. He's doing well, I don't know! You have a rigged vote out there, that's the problem.”
He added, "You have all the mail-in ballots. Everything else. It's very hard to win because the elections are very dishonest. If we had Jesus Christ come down and count the votes, I would have won California because I do great with Hispanics. But it's a rigged vote. They said 38 million votes — nobody knows where they're going, of course, to Democrats ... Disproportinate, Democrats get many more votes. Some of them get eight cards and Republicans have to call in, 'where's my card?'"
In addition to his controversial ties to Trump, Pratt is also under fire for being (like Trump) a reality TV star seeking higher office without any previous political experience. During his time as a reality TV star, Pratt racked up his fair share of controversies.
“During the height of his fame on MTV’s The Hills, Pratt admitted to staging stories for tabloids with his wife, Heidi Montag, for cash and buzz, even paying paparazzi to follow him around," reported The Daily Beast's Eboni Boykin-Patterson. "Despite the outcry about his candidacy and the proliferation of reality TV stars taking on government roles, Pratt has seen donations to his candidacy steadily increase over the past few weeks. Campaign disclosures show Pratt gaining nearly $2.7 million between April 19 and May 15, gaining on Bass’s $2.8 million since 2024."
Pratt claims that he is running for mayor as a result of him losing his family home during the 2025 Palisades wildfire, which he blames on mismanagement by Bass and California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
"Pratt's candidacy came on the heels of his family home being destroyed in the 2025 Palisades wildfire, which killed 12 people and destroyed more than 6,000 structures last January," reported Entertainment Weekly's Shania Russell. "In the wake of the tragedy, Bass was widely criticized for her handling of the multiple fires — which also included the Eaton fire — that burned across Los Angeles."
Russell added, "Pratt quickly became a relentless and vocal critic of both Bass and California Governor Gavin Newsom, accusing them of incompetence and negligence in a series of videos shared to his social media accounts since the fires."
