Spencer Pratt Vows Zero Tolerance for Antisemitism in LA Mayor Race

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 12
  • Alleged leaked messages shared on X show Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt promising “ZERO tolerance” for antisemitism and accusing city leaders of indulging anti-Jewish rhetoric.
  • The exchange began with a question about protecting Jewish residents and children on LA campuses, prompting Pratt to pledge stronger LAPD patrols around synagogues and Chabad centers.
  • Pratt said a mayor cannot directly control university chancellors but would use the office’s public platform to pressure campuses and push DOJ and District Attorney Nathan Hochman toward civil-rights prosecutions.
  • The remarks land as Jewish communities nationwide report rising hostility after the Israel-Hamas war, including concerns tied to campus protests and antisemitic incidents.
  • Pratt launched his mayoral bid in January after the Los Angeles fires destroyed his home, and his campaign has since gained visibility through viral ads, donations and endorsements.
Is Spencer Pratt’s mayoral bid a serious political movement or his most ambitious reality show yet?
Can a political novice fueled by tragedy and social media actually fix Los Angeles's complex crises?
