Former reality TV star and Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt told Vanity Fair he is “cool” with two of the city’s most notorious street gangs:
The “block party” was held on the front lawn of a courtyard apartment building on 10th Avenue, between 63rd Street and Hyde Park Boulevard—the “headquarters,” according to Pratt, of the Rollin 60s, one of the city’s most notorious street gangs that’s been linked to drug trafficking and homicides, (one of several claims made by the candidate that Vanity Fair could not independently verify). “I’m meeting with the Bloods next week,” he tells me later. “I’m cool with Crips and Bloods.”
…Pratt, 42, says he entered the mayor’s race to “damage” Mayor Karen Bass “as much as possible.” He didn’t think he could win at first but “at least the people would know the truth about as many failings that I could put on her.”
“I have two awards from my community, President Obama actually didn’t even have awards when he was a community organizer,” he said to NBC Los Angeles earlier this month. “He was able to become a senator and then a president for eight years. So, I feel like him and I have the same experience.”
