James Hirsen shilled for his preferred candidate in the Los Angeles mayor’s race in his June 2 Newsmax column:
As the race for the Los Angeles city mayor heats up, some top-name celebrities are rushing to the rescue of incumbent Mayor Karen Bass by targeting her rising-star challenger Spencer Pratt.
Actor, comedian, and game show host Drew Carey recently took to the social media stage to spout off about Pratt and employ curse words in current Dem fashion.
“Anyone who votes for, or endorses Spencer Pratt for Mayor of LA needs to get their head out of their a**,” Carey wrote.
Carey’s tirade is no isolated rant.
It’s actually a reflection of a broader pattern on the part of select Hollywood celebrities, who appear to be trying to save Bass from an embarrassing loss come election day.
[…]Pratt had a highly successful reality TV show, which makes him a bona fide Hollywood star himself.
Now he has succeeded in bursting onto the political scene with his blunt-truth communication style and his incredibly effective use of social media.
His big rise in the polls says it all.
As June 2 quickly approaches, things are reaching a fever pitch.
Many who live in the celebrity bubble appear to be visibly shaken.
That’s because to them the mayoral election is less aboutgovernment solutions and more about far-left ideology and self-preservation.
[…]The grassroots support for Pratt continues to build as he is besting Bass in small-dollar campaign donations as well as in the polls.
To the celebrity class this, along with his genuineness,makes him dangerous.
Deriding him is just plain easier than debating him.
[…]Pratt is resonating with the voting public precisely because he ismirroring what they see.
He’s no routine polished politician reciting talking points.
Instead he is advocating for a rejection of the far-left orthodoxy that created the whole mess.
In a nutshell, LA is a city that is desperate for deliverance from its misery.
Pratt is offering a much-needed remedy to the insanity of doing the same thing over and over again and getting the same wretched results.
In fact, Bass won the primary and Pratt placed third, meaning that he didn’t advance to the general election. Thus, Hirsen’s enthusiasm for Pratt — which came out on the day of the primary — went for naught.
