Katie Porter epitomizes much of DCUM, so that doesn’t surprise me a bit.

Everybody can have a bad day. That said, I don't think we'll accept a woman who acts like this, so she's out.

And yet, sadly, millions accepted a man like Trump who is way worse. Not just once but three times. What does that say about our society?

That we have much higher standards for women than for men, and that Republicans have no standards whatsoever?

Where has this reporter been? She actually asks follow up questions. That’s so 80s. Almost no one does this.

She’s amazing in hearings. SHE asks great questions.

Trump has his entertaining moments, and he won’t turn down a chance to engage with the press

So what’s the story about her time in DC? Was she a screamer to her staff? Did she throw binders and staplers at her folks? Details please.

She didn’t seem prepared. If other candidates were interviewed beforehand and asked the same questions and follow ups, Porter should have watched every opponent’s interviews. She didn’t do her homework.

Don't know much about her since I’m on the opposite coast. Probably spotted her in congressional hearings, but not memorable enough. This was a bad look. I wouldn’t vote for her unless it was a hold my nose and vote. She should take a page from Harris who had much more stacked against her.

Apparently, Katie Porter is too important (in her own mind) for follow up questions - even when the reporter very clearly told her that ALL the candidates had answered them.

Someone actually married those arms?

Maybe he really was incompetent?

But she misunderstood the question and made it seem like she didn’t care about MAGA voters. No, she doesn’t need them to win, but it’s a pedantic answer.

It didn’t hurt Trump. He’s walked out of multiple interviews.

But she’s a woman, so she’ll be held to a higher standard.

Ridiculous question implying winning requires 100% of the vote. Porter's immediate response identified the pointlessness of the question.

Who is this reporter? (gold cross necklaces tend to lead me to think Republican, because they use them to make political statements)

Unreasonable question. Whether she handled her own response skillfully might be an issue but let's look at the setup.

Maybe she should have just said "Newsom's margin in 2022 was 59%, so I'm good with 60%."

The question doesnt make any sense at all
I don't understand why it kept being asked.

That said her job is being a politician and she handled it very poorly.
