Spencer Pratt reposted an AI-generated attack video targeting incumbent Mayor Karen Bass the day before their Los Angeles mayoral debate. The clip accuses Bass and Democrats of enabling a squatter crisis, says landlords face up to $100,000 in legal fees or must pay off squatters, and claims the city spends $170 million on tenant lawyers. Spencer Pratt was the only candidate at the debate to answer "no" when asked whether non-citizens should be allowed to vote in local elections. Because the clip was AI-generated, its timing highlights how synthetic political content can shape voter impressions in a high-stakes campaign moment.
