Spencer Pratt by Tom Reynolds
Spencer Pratt’s is a Republican campaigning to be the Mayor of Los Angeles.
In an interview with CNN, Elex Michaelson asked Pratt; “Why are you a Republican?”
Pratt replied, “Well, you want to break some news here?”.
“Sure.”
Pratt answered; “…Everyone’s gonna freak out. When I was a hated reality star, I got so many death threats. I had so much security and police, and what did they tell me to do? Get a gun. This is real, I know people don’t like guns, but LA was dangerous if you’re hated. So, I got a gun. My wife got a gun. And then we needed CCWs. The only people that supported a CCW was the Republican.”
He added; “That was what I aligned with my safety, my personal safety, my family’s safety. I know people don’t like guns, but when people are threatening your life and your own security is telling you, you need to have home protection, trained too.”
I have no idea who Pratt is or what his reality show was but he got it right on self-defense.
And speaking of the Los Angeles Mayor…
The current L A Mayor, Karen Bass, is running for re-election. In an interview with the same Elex Michaelson, Bass was asked, “So, when you talked to Jake Tapper in 2023, you said that your goal was to end street homelessness in LA by 2026. It’s now 2026 and we haven’t ended it. How are you so off?”
Bass answered; “We haven’t ended it. Basically, when I said that, it was at the beginning of my term. I am very committed to achieving that goal. I didn’t anticipate some of the bureaucratic barriers that I would experience, but I am prepared to take those on now.”
The Bureaucracy is to blame!
Perhaps, Bass can identify with what Donald Trump faced with the Swamp when he took over as President and why he ‘cleaned house’ (especially in the ATF.)
Oh yeah, Bass’ handling of the wildfires and subsequent rebuilding has not been described as terrific, either. And I believe bureaucracy is being blamed for that, too.
Question: which political party is pro bureaucracy and believes that government, through bureaucracies, can make better personal decisions than the citizens themselves? Hint: Karen Bass belongs to it.
