Senate candidate Katie Porter, D-Calif., on Wednesday suggested that the California primary race was rigged by "an onslaught of billionaires" after losing to her Democratic opponent, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.

The progressive Democrat did not win a single county, earning a statewide total of just under 14%. She finished nearly twenty points behind both Schiff and Republican candidate Steve Garvey and came in third place in Orange County, which she has represented since 2019.

Here she grills a bank CEO about how his employees live on their salaries:



I like the way she questions them. I disagree with her, because her basic premise is flawed. Her basic premise is that bankers have an obligation to give people more money than the free market justifies. They do not, of course. But if you accepted that premise, which I know many Democrats do, her questioning style is admirable. So is the dignity with which the CEO responded, BTW.

I hope Porter realizes that it was the Democratic Party machine, yes, backed by many foreign billionaires, who defeated her. For whatever reason, the Party aparatchiks love bug-eyed Adam, and they will do whatever it takes to keep him in power. Yes, the race was "rigged" by those Democrats.

The solution to such rigging is simple: Outlaw anonymous donations and anonymous television adds. Instead of letting groups calling themselves "

The best man won! Go Adam Schiff!

Maybe it was rigged.

I was in Katie Porker's district. She did nothing. Not a thing. Concurrent with magnificent laziness she was loud and abusive to every underling she worked with. Her foul mouth and abuse was roundly discussed. To top it all off, her husband relived their 2013 divorce out loud in real time, from one end of the state to the other.

As an ex Californian, I'm glad she's gone.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Maybe it was rigged.

She says it was.

And she's a Democrat!

 

[para bellum]

Schiff/dems put $11 Million into Garvey's campaign.

Yeah.

I gotta say, I respect the OP - but uummm.....what's to like?

 

[RhodyPatriot]

Well yeah.

They do it all the time when it benefits them.

We've seen it for years, long before Orange Man appeared on the scene.

$1600/month for a 1 bedroom in Irvine, sounds like a bargain. Did she ever consider moving to a cheaper city.

 

[Seymour Flops]

Yeah.

I gotta say, I respect the OP - but uummm.....what's to like?

It's more in the nature of respecting an enemy with good game. She was able to actually be a far left economics professor preaching Karl Marx, while coming off this housewife who somehow became a congressman.

 

[TroglocratsRdumb]

The Democrats always cheat and then lie about it

Maybe Katie could have made her state less welcoming to illegal aliens and more friendly to new construction. Both would have made that woman's rent more affordable. Maybe she could have convinced Newsom to waste less money supporting non-citizens, waste less money on moronic high-speed failways...err...railways and use the savings to support that poor woman and her daughter. Instead of whining at bankers, she could have made a difference.

Every democratic female politician is accused of being loud and mean.
You never hear that about male politicians

Katie Porter is great and no… no Republican likes her. Not really

They only claim to when she loses to another Dem in a primary

She lost because everyone hates her. Everyone that worked for her loudly denounced her and that's why she lost.

That's exactly what happens when the worst people have the most money. Democrats have perfected the art of stealing money from the working man and then blaming the rich corporations that they have taught their constituents to hate. They're bullshit artists. MAGA.

 

[Rogue AI]

The best man won! Go Adam Schiff!

How do liberals even know he's a man? Either way if Schiff wins both California and America lose.

Katie Porter is EXACTLY the kind of person we need in government, someone who works for THE PEOPLE and not the billionaires who own most of the House and Senate.

You can state as a fact, that none of her donors were billionaires?
