Jimmy Kimmel warns against voting for another reality television personality after Donald Trump becomes president
Kimmel openly criticized the strategies used by former reality star Spencer Pratt, who is running for mayor of Los Angeles, following the playbook of former Apprentice star and current US President Donald Trump. “It sounds like you might want to get in touch with reality before you vote for a reality show candidate,” Kimmel warned viewers.
Kimmel was unkind to the Republican nominee, saying that Pratt is “yelling a lot” to get voters’ attention. He said that both the current President and the mayoral candidates have emerged from reality shows giving rise to controversies.
He also observed that Trump’s post-writing spree is at an all-time high, with the president posting “nonstop nonsense” on Truth Social.
Kimmel acknowledged that there are real problems in L.A., including homelessness, fires, and crime, but he discouraged the public from voting for Pratt, as he just wanted to take advantage of his victory to regain his fame and get back into the spotlight. He declared that voting for Pratt was “like if your canoe was sinking and you thought it might help to add a rattlesnake. Not so.”
