Spencer Pratt continues to hammer incumbent Mayor Karen Bass point after point, as Los Angeles itself increasingly appears to serve as a walking campaign ad for the Republican mayoral candidate.
In a new video, Pratt filmed himself outside a public park in Los Angeles, where, instead of children playing, he found a scene of decay. The playground sat neglected, its structures covered in leaves and debris, while remnants of homeless encampments and signs of drug activity surrounded the area. Even worse, homeless camps had been set up around the park itself, creating the kind of environment that likely left parents feeling that the area was no longer safe for their children to enjoy.

Even if they refuse to accept that framing, it is becoming increasingly clear that many Angelenos may be reaching that conclusion.
Bass and Raman have since turned to the Democrats’ familiar playbook: name-calling.
