<![CDATA[I have a liberal friend from Los Angeles whom I could imagine narrating one of those viral Spencer Pratt ads that are making national headlines. She’s been affected by all the crises exacerbated under Mayor Karen Bass’s inept rule. She woke up one morning to find a homeless man asleep in her car. Her house was broken into by two men, with even her children’s belongings rifled through. The home she grew up in burned down in the 2025 fires, just like Pratt’s. She told me she hates Karen Bass, especially after Bass refused to answer questions upon returning from Ghana, where she was when the fires started. My friend is also a lifelong Democrat, and you can imagine her story would influence many Democratic voters on the fence about whom to vote for in this mayoral election. ]]>
