LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt reposts scathing AI-generated ad

Ex-TV star launches viral video a day before debate with mayor Karen Bass and city council member Nithya Raman

Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt reposted a scathing AI-generated ad on X on Tuesday, which cast the city as a bleak hellscape under its current leadership.

In the viral video, created by film-maker Charlie Curran, flames engulf the Hollywood sign; a socialist militia patrols the streets; and California’s political brass, including governor Gavin Newsom, mayor Karen Bass and former vice-president Kamala Harris, are depicted as royal bourgeois who care little for their subjects’ plights.
