Meghan McCain is not pleased with Jimmy Kimmel’s recent remarks regarding Spencer Pratt’s failed Los Angeles mayoral bid.
“Jimmy Kimmel is a mean, heartless b*****d and no amount of on air crying will convince me or anyone else otherwise,” McCain, 41, wrote via X on Wednesday, June 10. “The day he is off air will be a better day for the country.”
McCain also included a clip of Kimmel’s monologue, in which he offered to get Pratt, 42, a U-Haul to help him move out of Los Angeles after he lost a primary election to incumbent Karen Bass and Democratic challenger Nithya Raman. (Pratt previously stated that he was going to move out of the City of Angeles if he lost the election. He later clarified to Us Weekly that he was making a “point” that Los Angeles was “not going to be livable” if his campaign wasn’t successful.)
“He clearly promised that if Karen Bass or Nithya Raman were elected mayor, he’s going to move out of L.A.,” the comedian, 58, said during his monologue on the Tuesday, June 9, broadcast of Jimmy Kimmel Live! “He said he was done with L.A., and Spencer, if you’re watching, we are so, so sorry to see you go.”
Kimmel continued, “We do know we’re going to miss the hell out of you. You’re a man of your word and you’ve got to go. You said you were going to go and I know things might be tight right now, especially out-of-state donation money is running out. Moving is expensive. So to help you out we rented you a U-Haul.”
While Kimmel was talking, a clip of the moving truck appeared on screen. The vehicle had balloons attached to its sideview mirrors. Pratt’s face was also plastered on the side of the truck along with a poster that read “Just Defeated.” Additional balloons adorned the back side of the U-Haul, in addition to streamers and cans attached to the end.
“Our staff spent the whole day decorating for you. And everybody will notice you and wave goodbye as you leave,” Kimmel quipped. “I hope that you and [wife] Heidi [Montag] are happy wherever it is you go.”
Meghan McCain predicted a huge upset victory for The Hills star Spencer Pratt in the Los Angeles mayoral race. “I’m telling you this guy is going to win,” McCain, 41, wrote via X on Wednesday, April 29. The former View panelist responded enthusiastically to a new campaign ad from Pratt, 42, where he visited Mayor […]
Pratt was running against incumbent Bass, 72, and councilwoman Raman, 44, to be the next mayor of Los Angeles. In the primary election held earlier this month, Bass was the first to advance in the general election in November. While Pratt was seemingly ahead, Raman ended up securing the second spot earlier this week as more ballots were counted.
“I’m incredibly honored that voters have given us the opportunity to advance to the general election for Mayor of Los Angeles,” Raman said to Us in a statement on Monday, June 8. “To the thousands of supporters who knocked doors, made calls, sent texts, donated, and opened their homes for events across the city, and to everyone else who made this moment possible: thank you, from the bottom of my heart.”
Pratt has yet to publicly address his mayoral loss at the time of publication.
