At last, a conservative news aggregator that does not bow to the woke right.
In this RedState article, Nick Arama argues that Spencer Pratt is gaining traction in the Los Angeles mayoral race by using humor and plain-spoken criticism against Karen Bass, Nithya Raman, and the city’s Democratic establishment.
- Arama says Pratt’s campaign is resonating because he personally lost his home in the Palisades Fire and has tied that experience to broader frustration over Los Angeles leadership failures.
- The article frames Mayor Karen Bass’s claim that Pratt is “tapping into a general sense of anger” as an accidental admission that residents have legitimate reasons to be angry.
- Pratt responded to Bass by saying the anger is “over her failed leadership,” a line Arama presents as simple, effective, and reflective of voter frustration.
- Nithya Raman tried to use the possibility of a Donald Trump endorsement against Pratt, warning donors that Los Angeles did not need a “MAGA Republican mayor.”
- Arama notes that Trump has not endorsed Pratt, according to sources close to Pratt’s campaign, and says Pratt has not sought the endorsement.
- The article argues Raman may be misjudging Los Angeles voters by assuming Trump’s name alone will damage Pratt, especially in a city where dissatisfaction with current leadership is rising.
- Raman also criticized Pratt for staying at the Bel-Air Hotel, but Arama says that attack misses the point because Pratt has said he is displaced after losing his home.
- Arama contrasts Pratt’s focus on crime, homelessness, and city decline with what he portrays as Democratic leaders offering slogans, fundraising appeals, and failed policies.
- The piece concludes that Pratt’s campaign appears to be accelerating because he is combining humor with common-sense attacks on the political class running Los Angeles.
