A devastating animated campaign video depicting Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass literally sitting in a garbage dumpster has exploded across social media, marking one of the most ruthless political attacks in the 2026 mayoral race as reality star Spencer Pratt surges into third place.

Campaign Video Shows Bass In Dumpster

The viral animation produced by a group called Latinos For Pratt shows the mayor taking selfies in Ghana while Los Angeles burns behind her, then depicts Pratt physically pushing a dumpster containing Bass and trash bags through Hollywood streets as cheering crowds celebrate. The salsa-infused video attacks Bass over the Palisades Fire response, homeless encampments overrunning Venice Beach and Hollywood, crumbling infrastructure, and endless potholes destroying vehicles across the city.

Have you all seen this?

It's EPIC.

Spencer Pratt is so SMART.

BASSURA = Trash in Spanish.

Great play on words.

Karen Bass = Bassura. https://t.co/BDtZqK4BLG

The song targets Bass over her trip abroad during last year’s devastating wildfires, showing the animated mayor posting from foreign locations while residents lost their homes. Pratt himself lost his residence in the Palisades Fire and launched his February campaign demanding accountability for the catastrophic response. The video mocks LAX delays ahead of the 2026 World Cup and shows Pratt sweeping away tent encampments that have consumed tourist destinations, including Griffith Observatory.

Pratt Surges To Third Place

A recent Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies and Los Angeles Times poll revealed Bass commands only 25 percent voter support despite her incumbent advantage. City Council member Nithya Raman holds 17 percent, while Pratt captured 14 percent, placing him third in the crowded race. The reality star has centered his campaign on auditing homeless spending and completely overhauling the city’s police and fire commissions after what critics call failed leadership during multiple crises.

Campaign Goes All In On Attack

The animated video features Pratt and his wife Heidi dancing salsa on stage with supporters waving American and Mexican flags behind a podium bearing the official City of Los Angeles seal. The diverse crowd shown cheering represents the coalition Pratt aims to build around frustration with deteriorating city conditions under Bass’s administration. Pratt has reposted the video across his social media channels, fully embracing the aggressive messaging that depicts him as the candidate who will literally remove the current mayor like garbage from city streets.
