Pratt is accusing Mayor Bass of celebrating K-town's destruction in 1992. What really happened

Spencer Pratt's campaign accuses Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass of celebrating the destruction of Koreatown during the 1992 riots, but the article clarifies Bass's 1992 comments referred to liquor stores in South Los Angeles, not Koreatown. Bass described the destruction of some liquor stores as a 'miracle' in 1992, though she later apologized to Korean American store owners in 2022. The Korean American community criticizes Pratt for exploiting their trauma as a political tool.
