Union-funded anti-Spencer Pratt ad sparks backlash as critics say it could help him

A political advertisement opposing Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt is drawing attention online as critics argue the messaging could ultimately benefit the former reality TV star instead of hurt his campaign.

The ad, which has circulated widely on X in recent days, attacks Spencer Pratt over homelessness, policing and public employee unions while urging voters to reject the Republican candidate.

"Republican Spencer Pratt is the last thing Los Angeles needs for mayor," the speaker in the video says.
