To the editor: Given the way Spencer Pratt is emulating Donald Trump, I assume he must be auditioning for a major role in the MAGA world (“Spencer Pratt appears to concede election in aggressive video threatening Bass and Raman,” June 12). Along with the name-calling of his opponents (“morons,” “commie animals” referring to Mayor Karen Bass and Nithya Raman, two women of color — really?) and the hyperbolic fear-mongering and threatening language (without Pratt to rescue us, L.A. will “tumble headlong into the abyss”), he has proved to be the perfect understudy to Trump. I believe Pratt is more than ready for his close-up on the national stage.
He states he got into politics to “expose this corrupt political machine,” so I urge him to move to Washington as soon as possible. We won’t miss him, and there is a rather large corrupt machine there that is in dire need of attention.

To the editor: After reading about the threats and the names that Pratt hurled at Bass and Raman, one thing is clear: The voters in Los Angeles made the right choice.
We don’t need an angry, unqualified, sore loser running our city. We have enough trouble dealing with the one in the White House.

To the editor: I don’t know much about Pratt. I even live in a separate voting city. About all I know about him is that sick message he posted, reported on by the Los Angeles Times. He does not belong anywhere near where public service is required.

To the editor: Hey, Spencer Pratt. Your 15 minutes are up. Time to move off the stage.
