Jimmy Kimmel’s Cruel Attack on Spencer Pratt, Explained

Spencer Pratt’s slide from second place to also-ran in the L.A. Mayoral race stinks to high heaven.

Is it illegal? Unethical? We don’t know, and we may never know.

Either way, watching alleged third-place finisher Nithya Raman rise from the electoral ashes should make everyone squeamish.

Remember mere days ago when a teary-eyed Raman all but conceded in the race?

Jimmy Failla of “Fox Across America” does, reminding listeners of yet another reason to question the slow-moving election results.

Either way, Pratt doesn’t deserve anyone’s disdain. He waged a smart, tough campaign, one that called out his opponents for their terrible track records. He used his personal tragedy to bolster his message, shrewdly using A.I. to create viral videos and, along the way, share why L.A. needs new leadership.

It’s hard not to respect his hard work, hustle and pain. Some campaigns invite blowback. Heck, they all but beg for it.

Pratt’s campaign was … different. Tell that to Jimmy Kimmel.

The far-Left host of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ trashed Team Pratt repeatedly from his broadcast podium. We expected nothing less, since he’s now a mouthpiece for the Democratic Party.

It’s freedom of speech, man, and if Kimmel wants to let current L.A. Mayor Karen Bass slide on her ineffective leadership, that’s his choice.

We all know it’s a poor one.

Still, what Kimmel did this week felt different. Worse. Far worse.

Kimmel didn’t wonder why the city’s super-slow counting methods apparently reversed the Pratt/Raman electoral odds. He couldn’t question how Raman’s lethargic campaign suddenly caught fire, surpassing vote totals for both Pratt and Bass.

Nope. Instead, he danced on Pratt’s electoral grave. Literally.

First, he invoked President Donald Trump. Of course.

“…the MAGA crowd is now using this to try to claim the election was rigged.”

What sane person doesn’t suspect foul play? Does Kimmel really believe Raman suddenly came out of nowhere to beat Pratt the way she did?

Doesn’t he sense foul play, too, even if he preferred the outcome?

Next, he remembered that Pratt vowed to leave the city that allowed his house to burn down should he lose the race. So Kimmel kicked him on his way out the door.

“And Spencer, if you’re watching, we are so, so sorry to see you go. We’re going to miss the hell out of you. You’re a man of your word, and you gotta go.”

“I know things might be tight right now, especially with the out-of-state donation money running out. Moving is expensive, so to help you out we rented you a U-Haul,” Kimmel joked. “Our staff spent the whole day decorating for you, and everybody will notice you and wave goodbye as you leave.”

…Mazel Tov and goodbye, Spencer Pratt!”

We don’t expect laughter or comedy from Kimmel any more. He’s a propagandist, and a dishonest one at that. This felt just mean and vindictive, a terrible look for any public personality.

Pratt, never one to stay silent, had the last word.
