Karen Bass Slammed for ‘Reprehensible’ Attack on Palisades Fire Victim Spencer Pratt
As the June 2 primary looms, it’s hard to escape the sense that Bass is less “running for re‑election” than fleeing the political wildfire she helped spark.
How badly are things going for Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass in her attempt to survive the upcoming primary on June 2nd?
I noted earlier that things were not looking good for the mayor, especially since 40% of the electorate were still unsure who they would vote for next month.
Well, the pool of friendly media available to her seems to be fairly shallow. For instance, her latest interview was with former MSNBC anchor Katie Phang.
Chucking over her city’s current travails, a grinning Bass slammed grassroots activist and mayoral competitor Spencer Pratt as “exploiting the grief of the people” of Pacific Palisades.
“Before this, I had never heard of Spencer Pratt… I feel like he’s exploiting the grief of people in the Palisades, and I think that’s reprehensible… I am so well served and I served at the state at level and at the federal level. So I have the relationships. I know how our government works. I think he could benefit by a basic civics course, because I don’t think he understands the basics of how, uh, any government works.”
Karen Bass aka Karen Basura goes on an UNHINGED rant about Spencer Pratt in a Soros-funded Meidas Touch interview:

Pratt then challenged Bass’ take on the matter during an interview on a more widely accessed platform…Fox News’ show “The Ingraham Angle.”
Pratt justifiably went scorched earth on Bass.
Yeah, I’m not sure if Karen Bass forgot that she let my house burn down and my parents’ house burn down, and I had actual neighbors burn alive across the street from my childhood home.”
“The only grief is my grief, my community’s grief, that I initially started this fight on behalf of and she forgets, I have received two community advocate awards from the Pacific Palisades community.”
“So, it’s the most insane, psycho, diabolical thing I’ve heard in a minute, but it’s not shocking.”
“This is the same woman that will allow 7,000 houses to burn to the ground, 12 people to burn alive, and then actively cover it up.”
“Get caught covering it up, and then say that the LA Times is lying, even though they have the emails where she’s altering the after action report, which, as far as I’m concerned, is obstruction of justice.”

Pratt then went onto to interview a victim of the Pacific Palisades inferno, with the title “Reprehensible”.

Pratt continues his effective grassroots campaign, leveraging new social media and AI tools. His efforts have paid off. Pratt’s fundraising is now outpacing incumbent Karen Bass in the first filing period of the year….as well as the designated Mamdani-style challenger, Nithya Raman
Pratt, whose home was destroyed in the 2025 Palisades fire, has raised nearly $540,000 for his campaign since Jan. 1, according to figures reported this week to the city’s Ethics Commission.
Raman, who joined the race in February, has brought in $530,000 in contributions through the April 18 filing period, much of it from writers, producers and others in the entertainment industry, the city’s numbers show.
Bass reported taking in nearly $495,000 since Jan. 1. She began fundraising for reelection in 2024, however, and still has nearly $2.3 million in cash on hand.
Hot Air’s Beege Welborn details many other of Bass’ reprehensible failures, and notes that Pratt’s message is resonating.
Bass is running scared, and she should be, as should Pratt’s other serious competitor, LA councilwoman Nithya Raman, who is considered to be even more progressive than Bass.
This is a hometown, homegrown bad boy. He’s pissed, and his message is resonating across all sectors and income levels.
The cherry on top of this particular sundae is that former Vice President Kamala Harris has decided, after all the wildfire failures and inept disaster recovery operations, to endorse Bass.
Harris released a statement on Monday, which reads in part: “She has done what so many said couldn’t be done – the first ever two-year decline in homelessness, reducing crime levels this city hasn’t seen since the 1960s, and refusing to back down when the federal government came after our neighbors.”
If you needed one more reason to not vote for Karen Bass, former vice president Kamala Harris gives her full endorsement for Bass’ reelection.
If you needed two more reasons, to not vote for Karen Bass, she has also been endorsed by Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff. pic.twitter.com/HsJBaZn81Y

As the June 2 primary looms, it’s hard to escape the sense that Bass is less “running for re‑election” than fleeing the political wildfire she helped spark. In the span of a few news cycles, the incumbent mayor managed to sneer at a fire victim with national name recognition as “exploiting grief,” only to watch Pratt methodically document his losses and torch her with reality.
It appears that the mayoral race has crystallized: it’s a battle between brittle, self‑congratulatory self-serving politicos versus a furious, media‑savvy challenger armed with receipts and a flamethrower’s worth of hot receipts.
If Bass is what “well served” leadership looks like, don’t be surprised if on June 2 the still‑smoldering electorate decides to extinguish Bass’s ambitions instead.

Mayor Bass:
“So I have the relationships. I know how our government works.”
Yup. And that’s exactly why the vote count should be watched like a hawk.
It wouldn’t be the first time primaries were rigged. Harris was annointed over the autopen as was Hillary over Sanders before that.
How about Karen Bass gets voted out of office instead of “slammed.”
It’s California, they are insane and would elect Harris again
Nothing will unfortunately change
to have been elected in the first place as with all the other avowed communists ..shows that america >>LA no matter who they vote in..its temporary
they will get in someone to clean up the childs mess and then go back to re-electing the same agenda or worse
nyc didnt become a communist haven overnight
they had been that way for decades and the msm/gop pretended that the dems were just “moderates”
when in fact they were the same then as they are now..just more open and vocal and the anti semitism is another great example
its always been there but now the gov can advocate , at least by tacit approval , the support for the blmplo,, if not outright arm them with weapons and/or laws as the weapons
I live in California. Pratt isn’t going to win. The only question is how Bass “wins”. Outside chance for the Mandami clone.
Charles Manson (D) wins. Even if he is dead.
Associated with this story: The whacko who started the fire said he was “inspired” by Luigi Mangione and “enslavement of the poor by the rich”. This ties in with Karen Bass who tries to give her Socialist/Marxist credentials saying what an elitist she is, while denying the very neglect she has shown the very poorest of Angelenos. Sounds like their Governor Newscum too.
How compassionate. She reduced the homeless population by burning down everything they rely on; wack-a-mole solutions solve nothing. Ascendants in the political class care little for much other, merely themselves.
Trump should make it public ICE will be at all polling stations. Might give Pratt a small chance at victory.
