Knives are coming out for former Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) in the California gubernatorial race after several videos released this week generated widespread criticism over her behavior.
Porter’s opponents and other Democrats rebuked the former congresswoman this week after she sought to end an interview early over a question that was visibly frustrating her.
Shortly after, Politico obtained a video of Porter berating a staffer in 2021 for entering her live shot while she was recording a video with then-Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm (D), fueling further backlash.
Though the California primary is months away, the incidents are threatening to hinder her momentum in the race to succeed Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), where several polls show her leading the field early.
“Voters can be very forgiving, but they’re forgiving only when the candidate or the elected official who’s transgressed fesses up, admits that they made a mistake, that they had a bad moment and apologizes for it, and that often works,” said longtime Democratic strategist Darry Sragow.
During an interview with CBS News California Investigates that aired this week, Porter was asked what she would say to the roughly 40 percent of California voters who voted for President Trump in November and whom she would need in order to win.
“How would I need them in order to win, ma’am?” Porter asked the reporter, Julie Watts.
“Unless you think you’re going to get 60 percent of the vote? You think you’ll get 60 percent — all, everybody who did not vote for Trump will vote for you?” Watts asked.
“In a general election? Yes. If it is me versus a Republican, I think that I will win the people who did not vote for Trump,” Porter said.

She’s one nasty P-I-G pig
She’s just another in a growing list of nasty liberal women.
Hillary, Nancy p lousy, Kamala, aoc, and the squad beeoches.
A hateful lot all.
Still OK to threaten to kill Republicans and their children?
I think it was Victoria Davis Hanson who said us conservatives need to stop referring to her as Porter Potty. 🤣
Butter knives?
Please, we’re talking about Dems and their primary, not intelligent, honest, moral, decent, good people like us.
Dems like Pritzker, AOC, Elizabeth Warren, Hakeen Jeffries, Cory Booker, Maxine Waters, Nancy Pelosi, Rep. Al Green, Jasmine Crockett, Gavin Newsom....
As shown in their decades long voting patterns.
Taste and love for America, they ain’t got.
Mental Issues ,she has them
Katie: Never heard from my former slaves, I mean aides, did you? Acid baths and plunges into lime pits in shallow graves may have something to do with that. I save a lot on paying retirement pension insurance for my employees.
That is a very punchable face.
Chevy Chase in Caddyshack to the girl who said he was nuts:
"Aw, that's what they said about Son of Sam."
The archetype of politics attracting Dark Triad personalities
I hope she is committing political “sewercide”.
California is a one party state.
I guess no one wants to say that out loud.......
I suppose that “her” plan, then, is that California’s RCV primary will “give” her, her Republican opponent.
It’s a ‘Rat-dominated State that uses “ballot harvesting”, so I don’t see why not.
There area lopt of fat angray bossie means spirited crazy women who vote in Democrat primaries and they are a dime a dozen. But, there are a lot more normal people who have been abused by the Katie Porters of the world and why I am thinking she might be the only Dem who could lose a general election in California.
In Freeper Friendly terms, Katie Porter is an uber reprobate.
Karen Porker works as well.
California does not have ranked choice voting.
California has a so called jungle primary. All candidates for office, regardless of party , are on the same ballot in the primary. The top two vote getters in the primary advanced to the general election, regardless of party.
There have been some elections in California, where the top two in the primary were both Democrats.
