It says the ad was funded by a group aligned with Los Angeles County labor unions and framed Pratt negatively for opposing certain policies-such as using taxpayer money to build new housing for unhoused residents, favoring more police over social workers, and wanting less power for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/govt-workers-sue-connecticut-to-avoid-returning-to-work\/\" title=\"Govt Workers Sue Connecticut to Avoid Returning to Work\">public employee unions<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Rather of hurting Pratt, the article claims the attack backfired, arguing that the ad\u2019s message sounded like support for Pratt\u2019s positions and thus got unusual attention on social media. The piece further argues this publicity could benefit Pratt politically, especially given the weaknesses claimed for incumbent Karen Bass and the timing of upcoming primary and general elections.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_2)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>With enemies like these, Spencer Pratt will make more friends than ever.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican candidate for mayor of Los Angeles, challenging the hapless Democrat Karen Bass, is being targeted by an ad apparently sponsored by the city\u2019s unions that\u2019s supposed to make Pratt look bad.<\/p>\n<p>If that\u2019s true, it backfires so badly that Pratt himself is publicizing it on social media.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Wait.
