Spencer Pratt released a video Friday in which he appeared to concede his loss in the Los Angeles mayoral primary — then pivoted into an extended broadside against Councilmember Nithya Raman, Mayor Karen Bass and the state of the city one of them will be elected to lead.
Pratt started the three-minute video by saying that the “campaign portion of my mission to save Los Angeles is coming to a close.” The video then turned out to be less about conceding the election and more about Pratt’s plan to continue fighting against the mayor and councilmember using his newfound national platform.
