KATIE PORTER MAY HAVE JUST BITTEN THE BIG WEENIE

Katie Porter is, or maybe was, the leading Democrat in the race for governor of the formerly great state of California.  She is a former congresswoman.  Also, to her detriment, she has a really great face for radio.  She is reputed to be nasty and arrogant, especially to her staff, and had a yearly staff turnover rate of over 60%.

She did an interview with Julie Watts of CBS News two days ago.  The first three minutes of it (total length 20 minutes) has gone viral.  In that segment Porter is nasty, unprepared and unpleasant to Watts who merely asked how she intended to get the 40% of Californians who voted for Donald Trump to vote for her.  (She basically said they can fuck off.)

At more or less the same time an old (2021) clip of Porter doing an interview with a Biden staff member resurfaced.  In it she screamed "get out of my fucking shot" at one of her own staffers who walked into the background.   Not a good look.

Allegedly Antonio Villariagosa, former mayor of L.A. land also angling for the Governor's gig, has just spooled up a 3 minute commercial featuring the 3 minute clip of Porter and Watts.  

Additionally the talking heads assert that it is "very likely" that Senator Alex Padilla will run for Governor.  Assuming he does and assuming he wins he would have to vacate his U. S. Senate seat.  He would then (allegedly) appoint Gavin Newsom to the remainder of the term, putting Gavin in a better position to run for President than he is now in.
