Former reality TV star Spencer Pratt is out of the Los Angeles mayoral race for two reasons.

First, and most important, he got fewer votes than two other candidates, incumbent Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and LA City Councilwoman Nithya Raman, who will now face off against each other. Second, he’s an unqualified dipstick whom a majority of Los Angelenos understood wasn’t qualified for the job.

Pratt was endorsed by President Donald Trump and hailed by some MAGA Republicans as a rising star, a political outsider with a winning populist message.

That was, in a word, wrong.

The Free Press, the conservative publication founded by Bari Weiss, who is presently busy ruining CBS News, ran a piece in May that posed the question: “How did Spencer Pratt, reality TV star and ‘healing’ crystal salesman, become the ‘adult in the room’ in the LA mayor’s race?”

That question is, in a word, hilarious.

Pratt's loss in LA shows Americans have had it with reality stars

Pratt, like Trump, is a quasi-celebrity capable of talking a good game to a right-wing swath of the populace. But he was never the adult in any room, he was never going to win as a Republican........
