Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass allowed homes in the city to burn to the ground, and has failed to lead a competent rebuilding process. The Los Angeles Times is now claiming that Bass’s failures are proof that her opponents are unfit for office, in a despicable hit job designed to protect Bass’s reelection campaign.
The Los Angeles Times wrote a hit piece on Spencer Pratt, a Republican former reality television show star who has emerged as Bass’s top polling opponent thus far. The hit piece dives into Pratt’s residence details: He lists a vacant lot in Los Angeles as his legal residence, but he lists a home in Santa Barbara County as his mailing address, and he is currently living in that Santa Barbara home. Surely, this must be a scandal, and the Los Angeles Times “report” suggests that Pratt can and should be declared ineligible to run for mayor.
