It was a sentence I never thought I would hear myself uttering: ‘I think I’m going to vote for Spencer Pratt for Mayor of LA.’
At a dinner party in the Hollywood Hills last week, I imagined I would instantly be ridiculed by my (mostly) liberal friends for admitting that Pratt – best-known as the loudmouthed bad boy of the reality show The Hills – would get my vote to lead America’s second-largest city and the place I’ve called home for 30 years.
But instead of raised eyebrows, the reaction of the group I was with, which included a senior executive with one of Hollywood’s biggest studios, shocked me by backing the Republican candidate: ‘Oh yes, I might do too,’ the movie executive said, ‘After all, what do we have to lose?’
This is not a 3rd world country after an apocalypse
This is Downtown Los Angeles, California under Mayor Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom
