Spencer Pratt claims to have obtained secret recordings of his the Los Angeles mayoral hopefuls which would force them to ‘resign in disgrace’ if released.
The reality TV star made the allegations in a blistering rant on social media posted four days after he was booted from the race.
Pratt pledged to go to ‘war’ with remaining candidates, incumbent mayor Karen Bass and progressive Nithya Raman, as he framed his loss as the result of ‘the machine protecting the machine.’
Vowing that he would still ‘stop’ Bass and Raman, Pratt claimed to have ‘some recordings of one of your exalted candidates doing and saying something that would make her resign in shame.’
‘Karen, Nithya, ask yourselves,’ he said. ‘Is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing or saying something that would force you to resign in disgrace?
The intense, three-minute video on Friday saw Pratt admit that his campaign is ‘coming to a close’ but insist he is moving on to a ‘more interesting phase.’
‘Angelenos are now stuck with two morons responsible for all their problems, and they have to choose between dumb and dumber,’ Pratt said.
‘Now, every problem that plagues Los Angeles, because of these two corrupt communists, is going to accelerate, and the city will tumble headlong into the abyss.’
The former TV star appeared to suggest that federal authorities were ‘coming’ after Bass and Raman, though he offered no evidence for that.
‘I want all of you awake at night sweating and worried [at] about 5am when the FBI blazers bust in the door, breaking open your office,’ Pratt said.
‘Because I assure you, they’re coming,’ he added.
Pratt did not provide any specifics about the supposed recordings, though he said: ‘If you think we uncovered a lot of fraud and evil in the campaign, just wait.’
Pratt spelled out a grim doomsday ‘zero hour’ prediction for Los Angeles under the leadership of Raman or Bass.
‘You have no idea how bad things are about to give for this city,’ he added.
Pratt, until now best known for his role in The Hills, claimed that developers, hoteliers, business owners and entrepreneurs had gotten in touch with him to say that they’re ‘packing up and leaving town.’
He predicted that would mean less tax revenue, which in turn would force Los Angeles to cut its services.
‘More potholes, less firefighters, less police patrols, more criminals, more drug addicts terrorizing your communities,’ Pratt said.
He vowed that he would continue ‘lighting up’ Bass and Raman ‘every single day’ without restrictions.
‘You think you can get rid of me that easily?’ Pratt cracked.
The mayoral hopeful also forcefully shot down the idea that he would leave Los Angeles after the election as he blasted LA’s liberal voters.
‘I know a lot of dimwitted jerks thought I was in this for a grift, that I was gonna roll up and leave town if I didn’t get into City Hall,’ Pratt said.
‘Hey, morons, I didn’t get in this for political power,’ he continued. ‘I got in this to expose this corrupt machine, and nothing has changed. ‘
The Associated Press called that Raman had advanced to the November runoff against Bass on Monday night.
That eliminated Pratt, who remained in second place until Sunday, from the running, though he apparently vowed to stay involved in California politics through the November runoff.
