NBC Reporter Quickly Pulls Mic After Spencer Pratt Supporters Mention LA’s Poop Problem

An NBC reporter abruptly pulled her microphone away from a supporter of Republican Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt after he started to discuss in detail what he saw in the city.

During the network’s coverage of Tuesday’s primary elections, NBC’s Liz Kreutz interviewed a group of Pratt supporters about the former reality star possibly making it to the November runoff and asked what about his campaign was resonating with them. When one man mentioned Pratt not wanting “human feces to be a part of your life,” and not wanting homeless children outside, she thanked him and ended the interview.

“Thank you,” Kreutz told the man, prompting him to shout that the reporter “ran away.”

The Pratt supporter then appeared to talk about Los Angeles’ “homeless people outside the elementary schools having sex” before the NBC correspondent cut him off.

“We appreciate you,” Kreutz said, walking away. “We talked a lot about the homelessness.”

The man then briefly took the reporter’s microphone saying, “We appreciate you, ma’am.”

“Hallie, I will say they’re taking a few shots, they’re feeling pretty good out here,” she told NBC’s Hallie Jackson who was in the studio.

“Margaritas are flowing,” Jackson quipped.

With 60% of the vote counted as of Wednesday evening, Pratt sat in a comfortable second place just four percentage points behind incumbent Democratic Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass
