Spencer Pratt, a reality TV star turned mayoral candidate, has found himself at the centre of controversy after a journalist pointed out that he resides in Santa Barbara, rather than Los Angeles, where he is seeking to become mayor.
According to reports, Pratt was confronted by a journalist about his residency during a public appearance, leading to an exchange in which he was quoted as saying, 'This is why you only have goblins running everything.'
The incident has sparked outrage among LA residents and social media users, with many taking to Twitter to express their disappointment and frustration with Pratt's response.
Pratt's campaign has been marked by controversy, with some questioning his qualifications and experience to hold public office.
In a statement, Pratt's campaign team defended his residency, saying that he owns a home in LA and spends a significant amount of time in the city.
However, many are questioning the legitimacy of Pratt's candidacy, given his apparent lack of connection to the community he is seeking to represent.
