Spencer called out the local politicians &#8212; namely Mayor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/people\/karen-bass\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Karen Bass<\/a> &#8212; for their purported failures to manage the wildfires.<\/p>\n<p>Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea posted a video on Instagram reminding everyone that Spencer is a &#8220;straight, white male former reality star&#8221; with no previous government experience, which does not make him a legit candidate to replace Bass.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"continued\" class=\"continued-anchor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Well, Spencer wasn&#8217;t happy at all with Chelsea, so he posted his own video on X, showing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/people\/shane-gillis\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Shane Gillis<\/a> doing a comedy routine at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/people\/kevin-hart\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kevin Hart<\/a>&#8216;s recent roast on Netflix.<\/p>\n<p>Waiting for your permission to load the Twitter Tweet.<\/p>\n<p>In the clip, Gillis cracks a nasty joke about Chelsea partying with Epstein, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/people\/andrew-mountbatten-windsor\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor<\/a>, FKA Prince Andrew, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tmz.com\/people\/woody-allen\/\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Woody Allen<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Spencer has been on the campaign trial, running against Bass and several other candidates.
