Karen Bass Stays Silent on LAPD 'White Nationalism' Claim as Rival Spencer Pratt Attacks

Karen Bass did not answer after Kathy Griffin told the Los Angeles mayor on Instagram Live that there was “maybe some White nationalism” in law enforcement and hostility from the City Council.
Bass instead said she lacked authority over federal immigration raids and other issues, arguing voters blame her for problems outside the mayor’s control, including schools and healthcare.
Spencer Pratt, a rival in Los Angeles’ mayoral race, seized on the clip and wrote on X that Bass looked “scared and desperate.”
Bass has backed police reform before but also supported LAPD recruitment; a 2023 public-safety summary called for disciplining officers tied to right-wing extremist groups and widening access for underrepresented ethnic groups.
