MTV

Spencer Pratt, former reality TV star and LA mayoral candidate, revealed that death threats he received while on MTV's "The Hills" prompted him to become a Republican and support gun rights for self-defense. He explained that police and security advised him to obtain guns, and that Republican Party was the only party supporting concealed carry weapon permits in California, which aligned him with the GOP.

CNN panelist Lydia Moynihan praised Spencer Pratt's comments on homelessness and public safety, but Leigh McGowan disagreed, calling his views unpractical. The debate centered around Pratt's growing online popularity and criticism of city leadership in Los Angeles. Pratt is a mayoral candidate and reality TV star.
