Drew Carey publicly slammed Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt in a social media rant on Friday.
The Price Is Right host, 68, proved he’s no fan, labelling Pratt a ‘serial scammer’ with no ‘moral compass,’ even though the former Hills star has received a surge in donations that places him close to incumbent mayor Karen Bass.
‘Anyone who votes for, or endorses Spencer Prattfall for Mayor of LA needs to get their head out of their a**,’ Carey wrote on Threads.
‘I understand being angry/unsatisfied, but at least get behind someone competent and not some serial scammer without a soul or moral compass.’
‘F*** this guy already,’ he concluded on a testy note.
Carey, who served in the US Marine Corps Reserve for six years in the 80s, is known to be outspoken when it comes to celebrities and politics.

His comments gained many supporters with one chiming in, ‘Thank you Drew, I can’t believe people want this man as mayor of one of the biggest cities in our country,’ while others took issue with his political tirade.
‘The is [sic] documentation of me never having to add Drew to the Spencer Pratt endorsement list,’ Heather Ashley, who hosts the Big Mad True Crime podcast, wrote.
‘Let the voters decide. Stop being bully [sic] and respect people’s decision,’ another user clapped back.
‘You don’t have to hate him just to prove you’re liberal. How about criticizing his policies?’ a third vented.
Pratt, 42, announced his bid for LA mayor on January 7 at a They Let Us Burn rally in Pacific Palisades, exactly one year after his own home burned to the ground in the devastating LA wildfires.
He said he’s running as an ‘independent community advocate’ even though he’s a registered Republican, and reportedly has a legitimate chance of beating Democratic incumbent Mayor Karen Bass and a short list of other mayoral candidates including Rae Chen Huang, Adam Miller and Nithya Raman.
Pratt also has MAGA ties, as evidenced by an official endorsement from President Donald Trump, 79.
On Wednesday, Trump told reporters: ‘I’d like to see him do well. He’s a character. I assume he probably supports me. I heard he does [support me]. I heard he’s a big MAGA person. He’s doing well.’

Meanwhile, Pratt vowed to leave Los Angeles and pursue ‘the last American dream’ in another US state if he isn’t elected the city’s mayor.
‘If Karen Bass gets re-elected, or Nithya [Raman] gets elected, I will be done with trying to live in Los Angeles,’ he told comedian Adam Carolla.
In 2025, Pratt and his wife, Heidi Montag, filed a lawsuit against the city of Los Angeles and the Department of Water and Power (LADWP) after their home was destroyed in the Pacific Palisades fire.
Pratt is determined to win his legal case, but admits that he might look to rebuild his life in another state.
‘I’ll take that money from the [Gov. Gavin] Newsom state park and the LADWP, and I’ll go find somewhere that my kids will not have to see naked zombies and I can have the last American dream somewhere,’ he said, adding: ‘I will not rebuild if these people are in charge. Because what would I be putting money into?’
