Karen Bass accuses Spencer Pratt of exploiting wildfire victims' grief in LA mayoral race

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass criticized her mayoral opponent Spencer Pratt during an interview with Katie Phang, accusing him of exploiting the grief of Palisades fire victims despite Pratt himself being a fire victim who lost his home. Pratt, a former reality TV star, has launched a mayoral campaign centered on criticizing Bass's handling of the January 2025 wildfires, with his campaign gaining traction after a viral advertisement attacking city leadership.
