Los Angeles Mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt revealed which poltiicans he looks up to, and his answer is one of the only correct ones: None of them.

"I keep getting asked, what politicians do you look up to? Who do you look up to?" Pratt said on Gutfeld. "I'm like, I hate these people. What are you talking about?"

"These people let my house, my mom's house, burn down. They are just, I called Mayor Bass on the debate an incredible liar, but she's actually a terrible liar," he added. "She's just incredible at how much she does it. Yeah, she's volume, not quality. I don't know. Her confidence is stunning."

While there may be politicians many people look up to, for someone like Pratt, who has seen and experienced firsthand the consequences of poor government, it can be difficult to trust anyone but yourself to fix issues that directly affect you. That same sentiment is also helping drive Pratt’s popularity in a race dominated by Democrats, many of whom plan to continue pushing one of America’s most iconic cities further into decline.

Pratt went even further, arguing that endorsements mean nothing to him as long as he has the support of the moms and animal lovers of Los Angeles. He said the same about celebrity endorsements, as incumbent Mayor Karen Bass has proudly showcased the many Hollywood figures backing her campaign.

Throughout his high-profile campaign, Pratt has doubled down on the idea that he is not a partisan, but a “common sense” candidate. He has noted that many of his supporters are Democrats, and has branded himself the “look around” candidate, as Los Angeles’ poor governance has served as a walking campaign ad for his mayoral run. 

The message is simple: do Angelenos want more homelessness, crime, and destruction, or do they want change? And the only way to get that change is to vote for it directly.

This comes as the city's mayoral primary is set for Tuesday, and Pratt is widely expected to move on to the general election. It remains to be seen though if he'll be able to gain ground over incumbent mayor Karen Bass.
