- Spencer Pratt conceded the Los Angeles mayor primary election in a threatening video, but said that his "mission to save" the city will continue.

- The former reality star walked back claims that he would leave the city if he lost the election.

- Pratt also called his political opponents "commie animals" and claimed to have evidence that would force either Karen Bass or Nithya Raman to "resign in shame."

Spencer Pratt is using harsh words against the women who defeated him in Los Angeles' mayoral primary.

The former star of *The Hills* admits that he lost the election to Karen Bass and Nithya Raman in an aggressive video posted to social media on Thursday, but insists that he's moving on to "the next, more interesting phase" of his "mission to save Los Angeles." (NBC News officially called the race on June 8.)

Pratt walks back his claim that he would leave the city if he lost the election. "You think you can get rid of me that easily?" he asked. "I know a lot of dim-witted jerks thought I was in this for a grift. That I was just gonna roll up and leave town if I didn't get into city hall!"

Less than a month ago, Pratt did say that he would abandon Los Angeles if either Bass or Raman took office, as he told Adam Carolla that he "will be done with trying to live in L.A.," adding, "I'll go somewhere that my kids will not have to see naked zombies, and I can have the last American dream somewhere. But I will not rebuild if these people are in charge, because what would I be putting money into?"

Pratt announced his campaign for mayor in January, explaining that he wanted to enter politics after his house burned down in the 2025 Palisades Fire. Since then, his campaign has been characterized by misinformation and aggression, and has used a multitude of AI-generated images and videos against his opponents.

In his new video, the controversial reality star attempts to frame his political defeat as an advantage. "I didn't get in this for political power. I got in this to expose this corrupt machine, and nothing has changed. You enjoy your worthless meetings in city hall," he says. "I'm gonna be lighting you up every single day, and now I don't have to worry about offending CNN viewers. I don't have campaign laws hamstringing me now. It's war."

Pratt reiterates his plan to continue intervening in Los Angeles politics. "My goal hasn't changed," he says before using extremely charged language against his opponents. "I've been laser-focused on stopping these commie animals, and I will stop them."

The two-time *Celebrity Big Brother *loser also threatens to expose scandalous material of either Bass or Raman. "We have some recordings of one of your exalted candidates doing and saying something that would make her resign in shame," he claims. "I was saving it for the general election. Go ahead and pick your demon, certify your choice, and then you get to see it. So Karen, Nithya, ask yourself: is it possible that one of your employees may have a recording of you doing or saying something that would force you to resign in disgrace?"

Pratt claims that the FBI would eventually investigate one of the candidates who defeated him. "I want all of you awake at night sweating and worrying about 5 a.m. when FBI blazers busting the door, breaking open your office, because I assure you, they're coming," he said. "You think your election was gonna stop me? If you wanna stop me…"

* *has reached out to Bass and Raman for comment.

The video then cuts to a clip from *Ozark* in which Julia Garner screams, "You're gonna have to f---ing kill me."

The clip ends with text on screen that says "WAR" alongside footage of President Theodore Roosevelt laughing.
