Critics on Thursday said they exposed the reality of what “The Hills” scoundrel Spencer Pratt was up to on “Fox & Friends” before his mayoral showdown in Los Angeles next week. (Watch the video below.)Pratt, a registered Republican, leaned hard on the possibility of election fraud in Tuesday’s election ― a go-to strategy for the GOP since President Donald Trump turbocharged it.Pratt has tried to distance himself from his GOP affiliation while Trump has claimed the candidate has MAGA cred.But bringing up “cheating” on a channel that was accused of serving as a platform for Trump’s election lies, pulled the former reality star right back into the conservative party playbook.He encouraged early voting but then veered a tad into conspiracy theory, according to some viewers.“We win with the most votes, and a lot of people again in California are concerned about, ‘Oh, election fraud,’” he said. “We can always outvote cheating. Period. We can do that literally in the next five days with just moms alone and animal lovers.”Pratt noted allegations of euthanizing at no-kill animal shelters.“Animal lovers and moms, we’re beating any cheating that people say could happen,” he said.Observers got riled up.“Here we go,” one wrote. “@spencerpratt pulling the Trump card about “cheating.”“Do republicans have any platform other than ‘they’re going to cheat so get to the polls!’” another said.The TV appearance followed Pratt’s allegation that one of his opponents, Democratic incumbent Karen Bass, violated election laws by filming an ad too close to a ballot drop-off. She dismissed the claim.Here are other comments about Pratt’s Fox News interview:He’s really got the MAGA Republican playbook down because he’s already trying to push a cheating story because he’s running in a democratic stronghold area in a democratic stronghold state and the majority would rather keep Karen than have a Republican shill.— Miss Jelena 🍒🍒🍒 (@MissJelena6969) May 28, 2026This dude is setting up a cheating scandle as soon as he losses.It's literally all the dude talks about.— Ryca (@_oRyca_) May 28, 2026This abstract concept of ‘voter fraud’ only matters AFTER Rs lose the election you see?— Lib Dunk (@libdunkmedia) May 28, 2026Cue the stolen election bullshit.— Rosemarie Lane 🇺🇸🏴☠️🏝🎣🐶 (@KeysMom1031) May 28, 2026Pre determined excuse for when he loses.
