Spencer Pratt had a good line ready for reporters as the results of yesterday’s mayoral primary in Los Angeles continued to indicate that he would advance to the runoff election against the incumbent, Karen Bass, in the fall.

“Obviously, God wanted five more months of me exposing all the failures of our mayor,” he said with a chuckle. “It’s gonna be a fun ride. I hope she’s ready.”
