What To Know

  • Spencer Pratt lost the Los Angeles mayoral primary but vowed on social media to continue his campaign against incumbent Karen Bass and opponent Nithya Raman.
  • He claimed that business leaders are leaving Los Angeles due to poor leadership, predicting reduced tax revenue, cuts to city services, and worsening city conditions.
  • Pratt alleged he possesses damaging recordings of one of the candidates and threatened to release them.

Spencer Pratt has lost the battle for the Los Angeles mayor’s office, but not the “war” — at least, not in his mind.

The former reality personality lashed out on social media on Friday, June 12, after losing the L.A. mayoral primary. In a video posted to his Instagram and Facebook accounts, Pratt said that his campaign is ending and he’s “moving on to the next more interesting phase” of his “mission to save Los Angeles.”

He also threatened incumbent mayor Karen Bass and opponent Nithya Raman, both of whom are moving on to the general election.

“I’m gonna be lighting you up every single day, and now I don’t have to worry about offending CNN viewers,” he said. “I don’t have a campaign laws hamstringing me now. It’s war. It’s zero hour for Los Angeles. Angelenos are now stuck with two morons responsible for all their problems, and they have to choose between dumb and dumber. That’s not a choice. That’s the machine protecting the machine and now every problem that plagues Los Angeles because of these two corrupt communists is going to accelerate and the city will tumble headlong into the abyss.”

The ex-star of The Hills said that “major developers, hoteliers, business owners, [and] entrepreneurs” have texted him to say they’re leaving Los Angeles. “That means less tax revenue,” he said. “That means the city has to cut services. More potholes, less firefighters, less police patrols, more criminals, more drug addicts terrorizing your communities. … This city is a mess, and you’re about to reward the arsonist who torched a place with four more years of destruction?”

Pratt also claimed to have incriminating information on either Bass or Raman. “My goal hasn’t changed,” he said. “I’ve been laser-focused on stopping these commie animals, and I will stop them. If you think we uncovered a lot of fraud and evil in the campaign, just wait.  We have some recordings of one of your exalted candidates doing and saying something that would make her resign in shame. I was saving it for the general election. Go ahead and pick your demon, certify your choice, and then you get to see it. … Now we’re flipping the script. I want all of you awake at night, sweating and worried about 5 a.m. when the FBI blazers bust in the door, breaking open your office, because I assure you, they’re coming.”

According to NBC News, Pratt has received 217,638 votes with 99 percent of expected votes tallied, compared to 247,242 for Raman and 292,115 for Bass.
