Far-Left Dem Trolled With Mock Homeless Encampment Outside Her $2M Home

Protesters staged a satirical demonstration outside far-Left Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman’s home this week, constructing a mock homeless encampment to highlight the city’s ongoing homeless problem. 

As seen in the viral videos circulating online, protesters erected tents, scattered trash and old tires, and even set up a barbecue in front of Raman’s multimillion-dollar home.

“This is happening all over the city and we brought it to her doorstep so she can see what other people are going through,” a masked man who said he helped organize the demonstration told FOX 11. “We’re basically doing a parody ad for her.”

The man requested anonymity, citing concerns about potential backlash.

In an interview with comedian Adam Conover, Raman said she was shocked to find a homeless encampment outside of her house and relieved that her two children did not witness the demonstration.

“This has gone far beyond what I was expecting the campaign to be about,” she said.

Raman, who represents Los Angeles City Council District 4 and serves as chair of the council’s Housing and Homelessness Committee, has made homelessness a central issue of her campaign. 

Her campaign promises to cut the number of people living in encampments by half by the 2028 Olympic Games and to develop solutions to eliminate encampments altogether. 

“The most painful crisis facing Los Angeles right now is homelessness,” Raman said in a campaign ad. “It’s the reason I first decided to run for office. My young children were seeing the crisis on the streets every day. It’s not okay for anyone to be sleeping on the sidewalk in the world’s richest country.”

Critics, however, say that Raman’s record on homelessness has fallen short of her rhetoric. She has highlighted efforts that helped take 500 people off the streets and into interim housing, which is only 0.7% of Los Angeles’s homeless population.

She has also faced criticism over more than $4 million in funding for homeless-related efforts that went unspent while campaigning for mayor.

At a recent council meeting, Raman was booed by attendees for arguing that requiring homeless encampments to remain at least 500 feet away from schools would not improve children’s safety. 

The latest UC Berkeley-Los Angeles Times poll shows a tightly contested mayoral race, with incumbent Democratic Mayor Karen Bass polling at 26%, Raman at 25%, and Republican Spencer Pratt at 22% among likely voters. The primary is June 2. The top two finishers will advance to the general election if no candidate receives more than 50% of the vote.
