Former reality TV star Spencer Pratt, who is running for mayor of Los Angeles, announced Thursday that “Gutfeld!” He said he wasn’t looking for celebrity endorsements when he appeared on the show.
“I actually don’t want celebrities to come out and support me,” he said. “I don’t want anyone to support me except the moms and animal lovers in Los Angeles. That’s my entire vote.”
“It’s okay if no celebrities support me. I actually like it when celebrities attack me because then I’m like, ‘Oh, I’m so good.'”
Pratt’s comments come as his campaign has raised millions of dollars, outpacing the campaigns of his rivals, incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and progressive Nithya Raman.

Jackson and Star Wars director JJ Abrams are among those throwing money behind Bass.

“That’s my favorite thing the internet says. It’s big on the internet, but it’s big on the streets, too?” they say. “Yes, the people I’m rooting for are the people who have to step over naked drug addicts and step into human poop to get their $20 matcha,” she said. “These are the people I keep insisting to moms in Los Angeles who have to use their baby strollers around naked drug addict zombies with fentanyl, needles, and machetes that might cut off a limb.”
Recent polls show 26 percent of voters for Bass, 25 percent for Raman and 22 percent for Pratt, according to a UC Berkeley-Los Angeles Times poll.
Pratt, who considers himself a Republican, has gained attention for aggressive, viral campaign ads targeting his opponents.

“My current campaign is being described as a ‘look around’ candidate as well as being a level-headed American,” the former reality television personality said.
“You look around and you see with your own eyes what I say, and it’s true. That’s why I’m going to win, because my opponents lie, and it’s been a total of 10 years of them looking around and creating everything they see. So I can say, there’s nothing more to it than that.”

That was it. “It was out of the question for Mayor Bass to drink and cut funding for 17 million firefighters in Ghana.”
