Independent LA mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt has fired back at a reporter when he was asked about his plan to solve the city's homelessness crisis.
Pratt who is making gains in the polls for the upcoming mayoral election, did an interview on ABC7, which has gone viral on X.
When asked about LA's homeless crisis, he said those people on the streets are drug addicts, and they choose to not be in housing.
"They’re not homeless; they’re drug addicts. Most of these people are addicted to fentanyl and meth," Pratt said.
"There are places for all of these people to sleep in LA, no matter what anyone tells you. We have housing and shelter for everyone who’s living on the street. "
"They’re choosing to be on the street because they want to do drugs."
