Spencer Pratt Says What Parents Have Been Thinking About ‘Naked Zombies’

Los Angeles mayoral candidate Spencer Pratt has essentially run his entire campaign by saying the things that everyone is thinking but has been too afraid to say out loud — and his recent interviews are a fair indication that he plans to keep that up.

Pratt, during an interview on “The Joe Rogan Experience” last month, explained that some parents in Los Angeles often encourage their children not to look out the window as they drove to and from school, sports practices, or grocery stores. The reason? “Naked zombies” — drug addicts — wandering the streets and sometimes engaging in behaviors that parents would rather their children not see.

His comments on the issue have gone viral this week.

“There’s parents that — when they drive to school — all across the city, this is not just one unique area, they have to have their kids in the back seat staring at an iPad and not to look out the window because meth addicts will just be having sex on the side of the street,” Pratt explained to host Joe Rogan.

“There’s just naked people everywhere now,” he continued. “Naked zombies. And the DEA will tell you, 90% of these homeless people have a drug problem. We have a drug addict problem. These aren’t people that just, like, missed a paycheck and we need to get them help and get back — this is a drug problem that needs mandatory treatment, not handing people needles and pipes and saying, ‘Oh, here’s a million-dollar bed.’ If you’re a fentanyl zombie hanging upside down, you don’t care about a million-dollar empty bed because you’re just high, you sober up, and you go get high again.”

Pratt made a similar point during a televised debate with two of his opponents — incumbent Democratic Mayor Karen Bass and Democratic socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman — who have argued in favor of providing more beds and voluntary treatment for the homeless.

Pointing out that the vast majority of L.A.’s homeless had drug problems, Pratt challenged Raman directly and said he’d even go with her to offer aid to the homeless — but warned her that they were far more likely to attack her than to accept her help.
