The Daily Show host launches abhorrent attack on Spencer Pratt as Democrats panic

The Daily Show took a vicious jab at LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt as he shocked Democrats with a strong showing in the early ballot count across the city.Host Michael Kosta launched his verbal assault on the reality TV star as the Left scrambled to justify his meteoric political rise since his Pacific Palisades home was burnt down.Kosta said last night: “How did this country get so stupid? Oh, that’s right.We stopped reading books.

Mm-hmm.Yep.

See? Spencer Pratt is standing up for the rights of all hardworking voters who look like ecstasy dealers.”“And it’s about time someone spoke for older guys who hang around college parties where no one is sure who exactly brought them.”The three leading candidates in Los Angeles’ mayoral race showed little movement in the latest ballot count Wednesday afternoon, solidifying Mayor Karen Bass’ place in November’s runoff election while leaving the contest for second place largely unchanged.Pratt has held the second position behind Bass, who held nearly 35% of the vote.Pratt and Raman are still vying for the second spot to qualify for the November runoff, as they each boast roughly 30% and 22% of the total votes counted.In Los Angeles municipal elections, if no candidate secures more than 50% of the vote, the top two vote-getters advance to a runoff in November to decide who the city’s next mayor will be.The county is expected to release a new batch of vote totals today, as roughly 700,000 ballots still remain to be counted.Kosta joked about the idea of a reality television personality entering politics, saying that mocking such a candidate surely couldn’t lead to them remaining in power for more than a decade.The remark appeared to draw a parallel between Pratt and Donald Trump, who transitioned from reality TV fame into a political career.

Trump said he favored Pratt earlier this month.California's top news, sports and entertainment delivered to your inbox every day.
