A new animated campaign video released by a group called Latinos Por Pratt has gone viral, depicting LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt taking aim at incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. The video, set to a catchy salsa-infused song, shows Pratt as a shades-wearing, broom-wielding protagonist who is 'cleaning up the streets' by manually pushing a dumpster through Hollywood with Bass sitting inside. The lyrics criticize Bass for taking trips abroad while the city faces issues like homelessness, wildfires, and infrastructure problems.

Why it matters

The video is the latest salvo in the heated LA mayoral race, with Pratt positioning himself as a challenger to the establishment and Bass's leadership. It highlights the growing tensions and polarization in the city, as well as the role that viral social media campaigns can play in shaping the political narrative.

The details

The video, titled 'Spencer, Saca la Bassura' (or 'Spencer, take out the trash'), features a rhythmic roasting of the city's current state, from the mounting homeless encampments to the potholes that 'still attack my tires flat.' The most provocative image shows Pratt himself 'cleaning up the streets' by pushing a dumpster through Hollywood with Bass sitting inside among the literal bags of trash. The video also targets the city's infrastructure woes, mocking the 'LAX Plane Train' and the delays surrounding the 2026 World Cup.

  • The video was released this week, in the lead-up to the LA mayoral election.
  • Pratt launched his campaign in February, building his candidacy around accountability for the city's wildfire response and pledging to audit homeless spending and overhaul the police and fire commissions.
