CNN commentator sparks live meltdown after praising Spencer Pratt's 'common sense'

"I think Republicans should be taking copious notes because he's literally - you just got to embrace common sense and be normal," Moynihan said during the segment while defending Pratt's growing online popularity and criticism of city leadership.

Moynihan argued Pratt was resonating with voters by speaking bluntly about issues facing Los Angeles.

Moynihan said Pratt's messaging connected because it focused on issues she argued many voters already agree on.

McGowan pushed back immediately, saying Pratt's comments and political aspirations reflected celebrity culture rather than practical governance.

"Is this common sense for real?" McGowan said. "Like, as an LA voter, as someone that will vote for mayor in Los Angeles, I'm telling you, this is the opposite of common sense. This is so embarrassing."

"I am so exhausted of being surrounded by this level of idiocy," McGowan said. "This guy is not practical. This man's plan was to live off his reality fame."

McGowan also questioned Pratt's campaign-style promises on homelessness, corruption and "renters' rights."

"He says he's going to end corruption. How?" McGowan said. "He says he's going to have no more homeless. How? He says he's going to have renters' rights. How?"

Fox News Digital reached out to Spencer Pratt for comment, but did not immediately hear back.
