It Turns Out The Video Of California Gubernatorial Candidate Katie Porter Screaming At Her Staffer Was Just The Tip Of The Iceberg

Earlier today we posted this blog highlighting current California representative Katie Porter, who's campaigning for governor, berating one of her staffers who wound up about 30 feet behind her while she was on a zoom call with the Secretary of Energy Jenn Graham

Here is the blog-

And here is the video for context - 

Well I owe everybody an apology for my ignorance when it comes to California state politics, because I had no idea about Katie's rich history of lambasting anybody and everybody -

Here she is losing it on a nice, polite journalist from CBS Sacramento who asked a perfectly reasonable question regarding the upcoming election that she willfully chose to run in-

CBS’s Julie Watts lobbed a question- a little clumsy, sure, but softball-adjacent: "What do you say to the 40 percent of California voters who voted for Trump?" Reasonable politicians usually respond with something like, “I’ll be a governor for all Californians,” then pivot to a stirring anecdote about their Uncle Sal who once voted for Reagan but now drives a Prius.

Nope. Not Katie Porter.

Instead, she leaned in with the warmth of a DMV employee three hours into a printer jam and hissed, “How would I need them to win, ma’am?”  

You could almost hear the sound of her press team collectively tearing up their own résumés.

Then came the dramatic flourish: Porter scolded the reporter for having the audacity- the gall! How dare she ask follow-up questions. In an interview. With a gubernatorial candidate. In a democracy. Incredibly out of line.

And here she is yelling at another person on her staff for messing up her lighting during another zoom call- 

And the time she fired another person who works for her, totally brushing off the fact she suffered a tragedy, because now her children have nobody to care for them while she had covid - 

This lady seems like a real peach. Reading up on her this afternoon, she's supposedly built her brand as "the Suburban Mom with Receipts", interrogating witnesses with the cold precision of a substitute teacher who’s found a vape in your school child;s hoodie.

But apparently, when the tables turn and the questions come for her, the whiteboard flips, the marker dries up, and it’s “I don’t want to have an unhappy experience with you.” 

KFC once again took my blog and basically did a One Minute Man word-for-word on it knocked it out of the park today on his commentary on Rep. Porter. 

Somehow, we always manage to let the worst people lead us. It’s wild. Back in middle school, the class president was usually the kid everyone actually liked- the normal one who could make people laugh and didn’t take things too seriously. 

Nowadays? 

It’s the bitter weirdos with lifelong grudges who run for office. 

We don’t have the smartest, most capable people stepping up anymore. Hell no not even close. And honestly, can you blame them? 

The moment you put yourself in the spotlight, the media and the outrage mob start digging up every dumb thing you ever said or tweeted when you were sixteen, just to tear you and your family apart. You’d have to be out of your mind to volunteer for that kind of public flogging. 

So instead, the real brains stay in the private sector. They run billion-dollar companies, pull the strings behind the scenes, and send lobbyists to D.C. to get what they want. The days of someone like John F. Kennedy standing up and asking what we can do for our country are long gone sadly.

And honestly, we deserve it.

Nobody said it better than the g.o.a.t. George Carlin. "Garbage in, garbage out."
