During an appearance Sunday on Fox News, comedian Rob Schneider morphed himself into his character from Adam Sandler’s 1998 film “The Waterboy” to attack Democrats and endorse a GOP mayoral candidate.
That candidate is Spencer Pratt, a registered Republican who is vying to become the next mayor of Los Angeles, California, and oust incumbent Mayor Karen Bass. Spencer has been fiercely promoted by right-wing figures, though remains several points behind Bass in recent polls.
“We want to ask you to answer this one, if we can, as your character in 'The Waterboy' – do you think Spencer Pratt can do it?” Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked, referencing Schneider’s role in the 1998 film as a “townie,” whose catchphrase was “you can do it!”
Schneider was happy to oblige.
“You can do it! But I don't trust the Democrats!" Schneider said, eliciting an excited air fist pump from Doocy.
“That’s exactly how I was hoping you would say that!” Doocy exclaimed.
