Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt said his political role model is Jesus Christ and that he most identifies with former President Barack Obama. The former reality TV star made the comments during a CNN interview that aired Wednesday night.
Pratt told CNN anchor Elex Michaelson that he sees himself as a fighter for the people rather than a traditional politician. He linked his similarity to Obama to a shared focus on community advocacy. Pratt also revealed that personal safety concerns during his time on MTV's “The Hills” led him to support Republican positions on gun rights and concealed carry permits after receiving death threats.
