MSNOW CLOWN SHOW: Mika Blasts Trump for Questioning LA Mayor Race, Panel Then Floats Conspiracy Theories About Republicans Stealing the Midterms

MSNBC may have changed their name to MSNOW, but it’s still the same downright ridiculous network it has always been.

This morning, host Mika Brzezinski tore into President Trump for questioning the Los Angeles mayor race, implying that Trump is pushing conspiracy theories, even though millions of Americans agree with him and think the process has been completely mired in voter fraud.

Then, moments later, her panel launched into an entire segment speculating about how Republicans are going to try to steal the midterm elections.

You see how that works? Raising questions about something that is actually happening in front of our eyes is dangerous misinformation. Yet they are free to speculate about fantasy fraud that hasn’t happened.

Heads they win, tails you lose. Every single time.

Transcript via NewsBusters:

MIKA BRZEZINSKI: President Trump amplifying baseless claims of election fraud in California. This continues as vote counts show his endorsed candidate, Spencer Pratt, has been defeated in the Los Angeles mayoral race. Trump took to social media yesterday, writing in part, quote, “Not possible for Spencer Pratt to have lost the LA runoffs after the big lead he had. Rigged elections.” Here we go again…

That’s how California counts its ballots every year. I’ll speak slowly for those who are confused…

But I think the bigger picture is, there seems to be some sort of preparation going on here. That’s just my analysis. But it doesn’t feel good looking ahead to the midterms, the way these Republicans are behaving.

WILLIE GEIST: You’re not alone in that thought, by the way, Mika…

JIM VANDEHEI: Yeah, I mean, it really sucks for democracy. This is the stuff you see happen in a broken country, in a Third World country, where they’ve not been able to govern effectively. Every time you call into question whether or not our elections are valid, you weaken the soul of the country…

JONATHAN LEMIRE: What they’re doing is laying the groundwork.

MIKA: Yeah, what’s really going on?

LEMIRE: Two different plays they could take while claiming conspiracies as we look towards November’s midterms. They could claim irregularities, they can claim conspiracies and actively take measures to interfere with the vote.

Assiociated Press Calls Mayor’s Race for Nithya Raman After Another Fraudulent Ballot Drop Buries Spencer Pratt – Raman Gains 33,000 Votes

The latest ballot dump in Los Angeles put the nail in the coffin for Spencer Pratt and gave Democratic City Councilwoman Nithya Raman a roughly 22,000-vote lead. 

Raman gained more than 33,000 votes in this batch. Pratt gained less than 15,000.

The Associated Press has called the race for Raman —six days after Election Day. Raman will face incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in a November runoff election.

The AP claims, “Large numbers of Democrats held onto their mail ballots and returned them in the race’s final days, which helps explain why Bass and Raman have been doing better than Pratt in the votes counted since primary day.”

Raman was trailing Pratt by about 40,000 votes on election night, but thanks to mail-in ballots that were inserted after election day, she closed the gap.

It can be recalled that Raman broke down in tears on election night with an emotional, would-be retirement speech at her election night watch party.

Dirty LA Times Admits Thousands of Ballots Were Dumped into LA Mayor’s Race w/out a Single One for Spencer Pratt – But “It Was a Glitch”

Never count out the fake news to defend outright fraud and lawlessness by the left.

Last Tuesday, on election night, Spencer Pratt was comfortably in second place in the Los Angeles Mayor’s race. Pratt dominated with early mail-in ballots that arrived before Election Day. Pratt had further extended his lead by more than 12,000 votes when the in-person results came in.

With roughly 50 percent of the expected vote counted early Wednesday morning, Bass led with approximately 36-37 percent while Pratt pulled in a strong 29.2 percent.

Progressive City Councilmember Nithya Raman trailed far behind in third at 21.4 percent.

But in California Election Day has expanded to Election month. Democrats flip elections away from Republican candidates after all of the ballots come in that were discovered AFTER Election Day.

In one ballot drop this week Spencer Pratt did not receive a single vote. The votes all went to the two far left Marxists he is running against!

in one batch incumbent Karen Bass added more than twelve thousand votes to her total, Nithya Raman added nearly ten thousand votes to her total, but Spencer Pratt added none at all. Other candidates continued to accumulate support in the same tranche.

Of course, this is statistically impossible.

Leave it to The Los Angeles Times to jump in and defend the election corruption!

Journalist Kevin Rector clears this all up by declaring this a glitch!

Democrat Nithya Raman Just 1 Point Away From Knocking Spencer Pratt Out of LA Mayor’s Race After Pratt Railroaded in Latest Ballot Dump – Pratt Responds!

Another damning ballot dump in the rigged Los Angeles mayor race put Democratic City Councilwoman within striking distance of Spencer Pratt, now trailing by just 1% with nearly 200,000 ballots remaining to be counted. 

They’re counting ballots that came in after election day! Who could trust these results?

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has already been projected to advance to the November runoff. The top two candidates will advance if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote.

After the Saturday results came in, Pratt now leads by just 7,494 votes, roughly 1.1% of the total ballots counted. The nearly 200,000 remaining ballots are expected to continue favoring the Democrats.

This comes after Pratt surged with a massive lead over Raman in early vote results on election night.

Analysis of the Saturday vote tally shows that Nithya Raman received more than twice as many votes as Pratt, 23,514 votes to Pratt’s 10,336.

US Attorney Observes Los Angeles Election Center as Feds Launch Multiple Voter Fraud Investigations

Multiple election fraud investigations in California are currently underway with the FBI and the US Attorney’s Office in Los Angeles, as ballot counting for Tuesday’s primary election continues. 

First Assistant US Attorney for the Central District of California Bill Essayli said his office is conducting a “comprehensive audit of California’s voter rolls” with the DOJ’s Civil Rights Division on Friday. His office also has “multiple election fraud investigations underway” in coordination with the FBI.

This comes after Trump sounded the alarm on Thursday, telling reporters in the Oval Office, “You see what’s happening in California. They’re rigging the election.”

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Republican California gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton also sounded the alarm on Thursday evening, telling Fox’s Laura Ingraham that, according to USPS whistleblowers, California is indiscriminately counting mail-in ballots without verifying the date they were sent. “It’s insane. This election system that they’ve created here is just another monument to their uselessness, another version of high-speed rail,” Hilton said as roughly 4 million ballots remain uncounted in his race.

On Thursday, Democrat Xavier Becerra, former Health and Human Services Secretary for Biden, advanced in the governor’s primary race 48 hours after the polls closed on Thursday evening. Still, Hilton is in first place, leading Democrat Tom Steyer by seven points with 59.7% of expected votes in as of 3:18 pm ET, and his fate remains uncertain with California’s lawless election system.

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has been projected to advance to the November runoff in the mayor’s race, where she will face either Spencer Pratt or Nithya Raman. Pratt, after taking an early lead over Democratic Councilwoman Nithya Raman and trailing incumbent Democrat Mayor Karen Bass by a slim margin, is still in second place. Pratt is leading Raman by six points with 64.3% of expected votes counted as of 3:18 pm ET.

“The most recent mail-in ballots that were processed are favoring Democrats, as many analysts suggested they would. Inside the ballot processing center here in LA County, any ballot that was postmarked by Election Day, Tuesday, must be counted by law,” Fox’s Matt Finn reports from outside LA County’s ballot processing center.

“The process takes so long, in part because each ballot must have its signature verified, and if there’s an issue, there’s a 10-day period to have it cured,” he continued, noting that it’s “very likely” counting will continue into next week.

Trump Says “They’re Rigging the Election” in California as Counting Continues – “They Found a Lot of Mail-in Ballots Last Night”

President Trump sounded the alarm on California on Thursday, telling reporters, “They’re rigging the election,” as counting continues across the state and key races for California governor and Los Angeles mayor remain undecided. 

As The Gateway Pundit reported, Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt had surged on election night, taking an early lead over Democratic Councilwoman Nithya Raman and trailing incumbent Democrat Mayor Karen Bass by a slim margin. The two top vote-getters will advance to a runoff if no candidate receives over 50% of the vote.

However, the late-arriving mail-in votes, which are expected to be roughly a third of the total vote, will take days to arrive under California’s lawless vote-by-mail system.

As of 2:47 pm ET, 62% of ballots in the Los Angeles mayor’s race had been counted. Only Bass has been projected to advance to the runoff in November, where she will face either Spencer Pratt or Nithya Raman.

Spencer Pratt Advances to November Runoff in LA Mayoral Race with Strong Second-Place Finish, Declares ‘The Communists Already Lost’

Former reality TV star Spencer Pratt will advance into the November general election runoff for Los Angeles mayor.

With roughly 50 percent of the expected vote counted early Wednesday morning, Bass led with approximately 36-37 percent while Pratt pulled in a strong 29.2 percent.

Progressive City Councilmember Nithya Raman trailed far behind in third at 21.4 percent.

Under California’s top-two primary system, Bass and Pratt will face off in November, giving Pratt five more months to campaign.

Pratt decided to run on cleaning up the city after becoming fed up with rampant crime, homelessness, and losing his home in the devastating 2025 wildfires, which he, and many others, largely blame on incumbent Mayor Karen Bass’ extreme failures.

Though the election is non-partisan, with no listed parties, Pratt is personally a registered Republican.

The Hills star’s Pacific Palisades home was destroyed in last year’s wildfires. He announced his bid on the one-year anniversary of the destruction, positioning himself as the candidate who lost everything to government incompetence and is now fighting to fix it.

Pratt campaigned on aggressive homeless sweeps, tougher policing, business revival, and accountability for the Bass administration’s handling of disasters and street disorder.

Around 10:20 p.m. Tuesday night at his watch party at Don Antonio’s Mexican restaurant, Pratt stepped outside to address reporters after early results showed him advancing.

In a fiery statement to the gathered press, Pratt declared, “I didn’t know I’d be here tonight, but this is obviously God’s plan, and I’m going to go all the way, and I’m going to show everybody that I’m their mayor.”

DSA LA candidate caught in shocking hypocrisy, breaks own party’s rules

A socialist who sells herself as a champion of struggling renters in Los Angeles is secretly living a life of luxury, the California Post can reveal.

Faizah Malik, 41, the Democratic Socialists of America-backed candidate challenging moderate Councilmember Traci Park, 50, on Los Angeles’ Westside with a campaign centered on rent reform and housing affordability, lives in a sprawling, $2.5 million mansion in Venice Beach.

The sprawling home sits on a 5,780-square-foot lot with a private enclosed yard, with sun-drenched interiors and high-end finishes throughout.

It has an all-white kitchen with stainless steel appliances, multiple bedrooms opening onto private balconies and a deck designed for outdoor dining, a rare luxury in the expensive enclave.

The property is tucked inside Penmar, near the Penmar Golf Course, a neighborhood of single-family homes where prices typically start at $1.7 million and climb to $4 million.

A Zillow listing has the property’s rental estimate at $8,000 a month, a far cry from the struggling renters she claims she will represent.

The average Angeleno pays up to $3,000 a month for a place to live, according to a March rental market trends report by Zumper.

Only 9 percent pay more than $6,000 a month for rent.

But when The Post contacted Malik, her spokeswoman suggested she too was feeling the squeeze: “On the Westside, there are renters that are in every possible financial situation, and there are homeowners who are feeling enormous financial pressure as well.

“Damn Right” – LA Mayor Karen Bass Vows to Lead Resistance Against Immigration Agents During World Cup

Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass is promising to lead a resistance against federal immigration agents during the 2026 FIFA World Cup. 

Los Angeles is set to host eight World Cup matches, including the US Men’s National Team’s opening match next Friday.

Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents will be working alongside the FBI and local police to manage crowds and stop crimes such as human trafficking and drug smuggling.

Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin stated in a recent video posted to ICE’s official X account that agents will “be out there every day” during the World Cup matches.

Democrat Strategist TORCHES Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, Suggests Spencer Pratt Could Win Based on Voter Anger

Democrat strategist Melissa DeRosa appeared on FOX News today and absolutely slammed Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, noting that even though she has the establishment machine fully behind her campaign, she can’t break past 27 percent in polling.

She also notes that it has been 25 years since the city has had a Republican mayor and says that Spencer Pratt could win the race based on voter anger alone.

It’s amazing to see a Democrat strategist saying all of this out loud.

From Mediaite:

On Monday’s The Story on Fox News, Martha MacCallum played video of Bass saying of opponent Spencer Pratt, “It’s not just that he has no experience in city government, but I don’t know if he’s ever held a job in his life other than to be a reality TV star. And I think that he doesn’t know the issues. He’s operating out of anger. And what our city needs is to move forward, and a city where people can live their lives without the fear of crime.”

DeRosa told MacCallum, “Karen Bass is a Democrat with all of the establishment behind her. She has the union, and the governor, and Kamala Harris, but she can’t crack 26 or 27%.”

“So, that is not about Spencer Pratt, that is about her,” DeRosa said. “When you have a ceiling that low and you are the incumbent mayor, that is your constituents telling you, ‘You’re fired.’ So, Spencer Pratt — it’s fascinating to watch. A Republican has not been mayor in Los Angeles since 2001, so it’s been 25 years, and I think if he gets elected, he will get elected, yes, because people are angry, because they feel that the government has failed them.”…

“I think it’s gonna be a runoff between Bass and Pratt,” DeRosa said. “And then in a runoff, head-to-head, I actually think he can consolidate the anti-establishment vote, and he could come over the top, because she has a terrible record that she will defend for the next five months.”
