Democratic Rep. Katie Porter denies firing staffer for getting COVID and implying she infected her after alleged texts from aide surfaced

Rep. Katie Porter denied firing a staffer for passing on Covid-19 to her after a testy text message exchange emerged that seemed to imply otherwise.

The Twitter and Instagram account Dear White Staffers, popular for gossip on Capitol Hill, shared a text exchange between the California Democrat and a staffer with the caption:' VIBE CHECK: Rep. Katie Porter fires staffer after both test positive for COVID. Full texts from the Congresswoman firing the staffer via text. Shared with permission from staffer.'

Screenshots of text messages between Porter, D-Calif., and former staffer Sasha Georgiades where Porter tells Georgiades 'you gave me Covid' and does not acknowledge the staffer's apology or her explanation that she had not tested for the virus because she was preoccupied with the death of a friend.

The text exchange occurred in July, and Porter's office said the staffer was working on a two-year fellowship at the time that had long been scheduled to end in August. Georgiades also confirmed to Politico she was not fired but had been planning to leave.

Katie Porter ran commercials 24/7 either touting her superiority or accusing her Republican opponent of a series of crimes and misdemeanors.

Her opponent ran NO commercials. There were just a few by an unaffiliated group that mentioned a couple of Katie's negatives.

Even after all that she barely eked out a win. If the GOP had given any money to the Republican that would be another seat in the majority.

How does porter feel about infected immigrants crossing the border illegally, or are American citizens expendable?

or her explanation that she had not tested for the virus because she was preoccupied with the death of a friend.

She should have said the she didn’t get tested because the “tests” are completely useless b.s., and that “COVID” is literally no more dangerous than a severe cold or flu. Would Porter have fired someone prior to “COVID” because they “gave her” the flu?

This “COVID” madness must end.

The only thing at that time that made you more morally contemptuous than the fact that you had contracted COVID-19 was the suspicion that you had transmitteed COVID-19 to what we used to call in this country a “friend”, a “family member”, or a “co-worker”. Those relationships are now only allowed to continue to exist in anything like their past form for a few specific purposes, one of which being to convey, when deemed appropriate, the implacable displeasure of the deep state party apparatus.

There's a split in the Democratic Party. You have folks like Joe Biden who said that covid is over. Then you have die hard covidists who were brainwashed by Dr. Fauci and MSM into thinking that this was the Bubonic Plague.

American citizens are expendable.

Porter should really be mad at whoever bashed her with the ugly stick.

"You have folks like Joe Biden who said that covid is over."

Xiden only said it was over for political expedience. Don't think for one second that he wouldn't go right back to "We're all gonna die!" as soon as someone pulls his strings.
