Campaign Ad Exposing LA Mayor Bass on Palisades Fires Goes Viral
4th May 2026
Reality TV personality and Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt released a hard-hitting ad last week criticizing Mayor Karen Bass and City Councilmember Nithya Raman for their “failed leadership” in response to the Palisades fires and homelessness crisis—so far it has received more than 12 million views.
Released April 29, the ad shows the two Democrats’ posh homes and neighborhoods, which are contrasted with Pratt’s own neighborhood, which burned to the ground in the Palisades fires of January 2025.
“They don’t have to live in the mess they created … they let my home burn down,” Pratt says in the video.
