Spencer Pratt apologised on live television on Thursday, 28 May, for years of promoting 9/11 conspiracy theories, even as the Hills alumnus and reality TV villain rides a Trump-backed surge in his outsider campaign for mayor of Los Angeles.
For context, Spencer Pratt spent much of the late 2000s loudly insisting that the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks were an 'inside job,' parroting fringe claims that the US government had orchestrated the atrocity. Those comments resurfaced as he transformed, improbably, from tabloid antagonist into a serious contender in the Los Angeles mayoral race, launched on the first anniversary of wildfires that destroyed his home and much of his neighbourhood.
