"Get Out Of My Fu**ing Shot!": Second Katie Porter Video Plunges Gubernatorial Campaign Into 'Disaster'
Katie Porter, the leading candidate to replace Gavin Newsom in California's upcoming gubernatorial election, has thrown her campaign into chaos after a second viral clip of her berating a staffer emerged hours after she made headlines for throwing a complete temper tantrum in a CBS News interview.
On Wednesday evening, Politico published the second clip of Porter screaming at a staffer.
"Get out of my fucking shot!" Porter screeched at a masked staffer who appeared in the background of an online conversation between Porter and then-Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm in July 2021. Porter's staffer had interjected to correct something Porter said about electric vehicles - which earned the employee a reprimand.
"You also were in my shot before that. Stay out of my shot," Porter said.
Here's Porter getting nasty with CBS News correspondent Julie Watts over a simple question as to how she plans to woo the 40% of conservative California voters.
"Is this a disaster? Yes," Democratic strategist Gale Kaufman told Politico. "And the reason it’s a disaster is because it amplifies what her reputation already is."
Porter's Democratic rivals seized and pounced on her cuntery, with Antonio Villaraigosa purchasing three-minute ads in the Sacramento market to run Porter's tense exchange with Watts.
Stephen J. Cloobeck released a digital ad highlighting Porter's past bitchyness, while Xavier Becerra and Tony Thurmond both highlighted their own responses to Watts' outburst.
"As the last viable female candidate in this race, it matters to me that California’s first female governor be a trusted, respected leader we can all be proud of — not a viral embarrassment," said Betty Yee. "Women in politics are still held to higher standards, and Katie Porter has clearly failed that test."
The Porter campaign is defiant - insisting that the viral clips have had no effect on her frontrunner status.
"Californians are hungry for a governor who they trust can fight for them against Trump," campaign spokesman Peter Opitz said in a statement. "They know from her work taking on powerful interests in Washington that Katie is never going to be shy about calling out bullshit, and that is why every poll shows Katie firmly in the lead."
Yet, according to GOP consultant Rob Stuzman, "It hurts her significantly. This will be what a lot of voters hear about her or see about her for the first time," adding "It’s not just that she appears intemperate and incapable of answering fair questions or subjecting herself to the interview. I just don’t think she comes across as very likable."
As Politico reports further,
Bye Felicia?
