Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt has surged in recent polls regarding the city’s upcoming mayoral election. The one-time reality star has garnered a lot of support over criticizing current Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass for government incompetence and hampering his message about quality of life issues. On Thursday, Pratt appeared on Fox News’s Gutfeld!, and explained why he thought he had a realistic chance to be victorious. One of the reasons was his belief he was getting a lot of support from mothers concerned about safety issues while raising their children.“This is my favorite thing, the internet says ‘they’re like he’s so big on the internet, but is he big on the streets?’” Pratt told host Greg Gutfeld. “Yes, the people I’m surging with are the people having to step over the naked drug addicts and step into human poop to get their $20 matcha. Those are the people that I’m surging with.”He also explained his support with Los Angeles mothers, as mentioned above. He said they just want to be able to live in safe neighborhoods so they can raise their children in a good environment.
