The Dems offerings: from the Newsome frying pan into the Porter fire...

A California gubernatorial candidate has been caught up in scandal after getting testy with staffers in a pair of videos—and now her ex-husband is offering his two cents.
Matthew Hoffman, who was married to former California congresswoman Katie Porter from 2003 to 2013, has lashed out at his ex-wife, saying the negative image people have of his ex is all true.
Speaking to the New York Post, Hoffman, 50, said Porter, 51, is a “master manipulator” who is the kind of person who makes it “hard to like politics.”
Porter has been ramping up her campaign for the 2026 California gubernatorial election, but has faced a series of public relations setbacks as her history of alleged aggressive clashes resurfaces.
Hoffman, with whom Porter went through a bitter divorce in 2013, claims that the former law professor would be a terrible choice for governor owing to her inability to get along with others.
“The amount of staff she goes through. The horrible things that she says [about others]… those aren’t fabrications,” Hoffman said.

If her ex had any common sense, he never would have married her in the first place.
The Dems offerings: from the Newsome frying pan into the Porter fire...
If she were a republican, would this Daily Beast start the headline with ‘Republican governor hopeful is terrible per her ex husband?’
Yes. They would. This is how I get along with neighbors, coworkers, family, old friends. I realize at all times that they are propagandized. I cannot fix them. And they choose it
Sooooo-eeeeee pig!
But, but, her precious “whiteboard”.... she’s a real hero to liberal ditzes everywhere. And only has to finish in the top 2 in the primary (with a Republican taking the other spot) to be a guaranteed winner in November, 2026.
Enjoy her, California. And please KEEP her.
She’s the poster gal for the AWFULs (Affluent, White, Female, Urban Leftist).
They’re outright lunatics that ought to be locked up in an asylum’s rubber room. They should NOT be allowed anywhere near the “levers of power” of anything, including room thermostats and government. They’ve done more harm to America than any foreign enemy. They’re as crazy as a bedbug.
It seems that Porter is the Perfect Democrat, a World Class a$$hole that is universally dismissed by reasonable citizens everywhere, and is adored by the reprobate criminal scum of the Earth.
Guaranteed! The next liberal will always be worse than the one being replaced!
It almost makes you miss Jerry Brown!
“She’s the poster gal for the AWFULs (Affluent, White, Female, Urban Leftist)”
In her case AWFUL is Angry Wide Fugly Ultra Leftist.
Well, I think anyone who’s ever been married, will tell you that things change once you’re married and living together. You learn things about your spouses behavior and temperament, that you didn’t know before you were married and living together.
'figured HIS name would be Porter John?
I retired a couple of years ago and now I spend day and night with my wife of 53 years. I've started noticing little things now that I didn't notice before, and it's making me very suspicious. Very suspicious. Now, I'm not sure of this, but I'm really starting to suspect that she may be The One.
You are funny.
As for Katie porter can you imaging waking up next to that?
Hoffman is a source with no credibility here.
She sounds like exactly the governor that California needs.
And Mamdani is exactly what New York City needs.
The counter to Viagra. Yikes.
The One? Does she open the empty refrigerator and serve loaves of bread and fish? ;-)
It is everything wrong with a (alleged) human being. This poor bastard lasted 10 years with it? These are the kind of specimens that wind up in a 55 gallon drum bobbing mid-Pacific.
Coyote maneuver.
