As the old saying goes, "Be careful what you wish for."
Spencer Pratt released a concession video of sorts Friday morning, and after Karen Bass and Nithya Raman watch it, they'll wish the mail ballot fraud scheme to elevate Raman had never taken place. Pratt says he's moving on from the "campaign phase of [his] mission to save Los Angeles to the next, more interesting phase," reminding people that his goal wasn't to become mayor, but to expose the corrupt machine - and that he's laser focused on doing just that.

Referencing Jimmy Kimmel's offer of a U-Haul to move the Pratt family's non-existent possessions out of Los Angeles, Pratt said:
You think you can get rid of me that easily?
Hey morons. I didn't get in this for political power. I got in this to expose this corrupt machine. Nothing's changed. You enjoy your worthless meetings in City Hall. I've been lighting you up every single day and now I don't have to worry about offending CNN viewers. I don't have campaign laws hamstringing me now. It's war.
That's a great point. As I said on Victoria Taft's podcast on Thursday, sometimes not getting what we think we want is a huge blessing and leads us to better ways of achieving our goals. Without being hamstrung by campaign laws, he's free to go about dismantling the machine in whichever way he chooses.

Here's the part that will terrify Bass and Raman, and accelerate the battle between establishment Democrats and the DSA for control of Los Angeles:
My goal hasn't changed. I've been laser-focused on stopping these commie animals, and I will stop them. If you think we uncovered a lot of fraud and evil in the campaign, just wait. We have some recordings of one of your exalted candidates doing and saying something that would make her resign in shame. I was saving it for the general election. Go ahead and pick your demon, certify your choice, and then you get to see it.
So Karen, Nithya, ask yourselves, is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing or saying something that would force you to resign in disgrace? Hope you sleep well at night over the next five months, because you know who hasn't slept well at all for the last 17 months? My mom. All my neighbors in the Palisades. All the moms who worry about their kids walking past drug addicts in front of their schools. All the business owners getting crushed in the LA economy.
Angelenos have been struggling for years now all while corrupt politicians and fraudulent NGOs profit off the misery and fleece us for the tax dollars.
Well, now we're flipping the script. I want all of you awake at night sweating, worrying about 5 am with FBI busting in your door, breaking open your office, because I assure you, they're coming. You think your election was gonna stop me? If you wanna stop me...
This is a brilliant strategy from Pratt and shows that he's not the lightweight the Dems tried to portray him as. Let them sweat, and as they do, they and their allies will start making even more mistakes as they attempt to figure out which candidate he's talking about, which bad deed he has proof of, and who leaked it. Because we all know that there are many, many possibilities from which to choose.
After a secret recording of a meeting between LA Federation of Labor boss Ron Herrera and then-Los Angeles City Council members Nury Martinez, Kevin de Leon, and Gil Cedillo surfaced a few years ago, you'd think these people would be more careful. But it's a good thing for all of us that they're not.
