Kelsey Grammer is throwing his support behind Spencer Pratt, while taking aim at both Karen Bass and Gavin Newsom. This endorsement came during an event hosted by Grammer for US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
“California is a wonderful state, but it’s mismanaged,” Bessent, a key advisor to Trump, remarked to a crowd of Trump enthusiasts at Rustico restaurant in Westlake Village, a wealthy community situated 40 miles from the heart of Los Angeles.
Earlier in the week, Bessent made headlines by declaring “There’s no cure for stupid” in response to a journalist’s question about the California governor’s plan to impose a 100% tax on President Donald Trump’s new $1.776 billion “Anti-Weaponization Fund.”
Grammer, a long-time Republican despite his career in the liberal Hollywood scene, praised Bessent as a “rockstar” and criticized what he sees as the detrimental policies of California’s Democratic leadership, stating “stupid lives in California.”
Taking another jab, Grammer commented on Los Angeles’ mayoral leadership, quipping, “I just call her Karen Bass-ackwards. That’s what we’ve always called her in my house,” he shared with The Post while leaving the event. He affirmed his support for Spencer Pratt as mayor.
“He’s the only genuine choice we have. We already know what the others will do,” the “Cheers” and “Frasier” star confidently told The Post.
Unsurprisingly, he didn’t have much to say when asked about Newsom, either. “I just hope we’ve heard the last of him,” he added.
Bessent is taking part in a country-wide tour to promote “Trump Accounts” that provide $1,000 to children to be invested in the stock market and grow while also helping to improve financial literacy in youngsters.
“It levels the playing field for everybody in America,” Robin De Sapio, 47, a married mother of two from Santa Rosa Valley, told The Post of Trump Accounts.
“These accounts are for every child 18 and under – they’re for America. For me, that’s exciting. We can teach financial literacy and become wizards with money from the beginning. This is a great idea.”
Her son, Marty, 10, is looking forward to seeing the investment grow for him and commented, “When you turn 18 you get a bunch of money that’s been invested. It’s very cool. I really like it.”
When he turns 18, he will “save a little, then buy a car and make more money.”
