Reality TV star Spencer Pratt, a Republican, dominated Wednesday’s Los Angeles mayoral debate.

So said poll respondents on KNBC in Los Angeles. And so too, effectively, said the Los Angeles Times.

Meanwhile, conservatives on the social media platform X applauded Pratt’s answers to questions on public safety in the city.

All in all, Pratt at least raised eyebrows over the prospect that a Republican could win in Los Angeles.

“Downtown is so unsafe now that they have to serve the food — all the employees have to eat inside,” Pratt said in a clip posted to X. “They can’t risk going out. That’s why all these beautiful restaurants are closing — ’cause it’s so unsafe.”

Then, in the same clip, the Republican blasted one of his two debate opponents, Socialist councilwoman Nithya Raman. Incumbent Democratic MayorKaren Bassalso participated in the debate.

“Councilwoman Raman is talking about safety,” Pratt said moments later. “Yet, when animal rescue activist Rebecca Corry came in and said that dogs are being tortured and abused on the streets of downtown, she walked out of the hearing. She doesn’t care about safety. She doesn’t care about anything she’s talking about. At least Mayor Bass pretends to care.”

Then, in another clip, Pratt mocked Raman’s plan to provide “treatment” to the homeless.
