The Republican and former reality television personality Spencer Pratt responded to his loss in the Los Angeles mayoral primary in a video posted Friday morning, saying “you have no idea how bad things are about to get for the city.”
In the video captioned “Saving LA-Phase III” posted on his social media, Pratt said he is not leaving town.
“You thought you could get rid of me that easily?” Pratt said. “I didn’t get in this for political power, I got in this to expose this corrupt machine and nothing’s changed.”
“And now I don’t have to worry about offending CNN viewers. I don’t have a campaign to hamstring me now. It’s war,” he added.
The three-minute video featured clips from movies, news broadcasts and even a UFC fight.
Pratt went on to criticize the remaining candidates, City Councilwoman Nithya Raman and Mayor Karen Bass.
“Angelenos are now stuck with two Morons responsible for all their problems and now have to choose between dumb and dumber,” Pratt said, as images of Raman and Bass appeared.
He also said that “every problem that plagues Los Angeles because of these two corrupt communists is going to accelerate” under their leadership.
Pratt said they have a recording of one of the candidates “doing or saying something that would make her resign in shame,” but did not directly say whether it was of Bass or Raman.
He claimed major developers, hoteliers, business owners and entrepreneurs have told him they are leaving the city, which he argued would lead to more restaurant closures and less taxes revenue.
“That means the city has to cut services. More potholes, fewer firefighters, less police patrols, more criminals, more drug addicts terrorizing your communities,” Pratt said.
“You have no idea how bad things are about to get for the city, look at this place already,” he added. “The city is a mess and you’re about to reward the arsonist who torched the place with four more years of destruction.”
