Rep. Katie Porter (D) Eviscerates Pharma CEO With a Whiteboard

Dems got a lot of great people waiting in the wings to become a future POTUS!

she's great!

She's a goddamn GODDESS

If she were a Republican, this thread would be 600 posts of fat jokes.

She needs to lose about 80 lbs. before she can graduate to the Senate. And I mean this as a health issue.

BUt she's not R4. Rep Porter is a good woman. I want to know more information on her.

r4 types fat.

R5 can blow me, and I mean this as a health issue.

She was a protege of Kamala Harris and has a good shot at replacing Harris in the Senate if Biden wins. She's definitely one to watch.

R9 Cool, I didn't know that about Rep Porter.

LOVE her! He’s frozen with fear.

For those commenting on her weight: that, along with her mom hair and her discount-mall wardrobe, are some of her superpowers.

I'd love to see her promoted to senator. But I also love her helping keep Orange County all blue for a change. Maybe the new Nancy some day?

She should be fucking president

She's Warren's protegee.

She should be Treasury Secretary, not some banker.

When she retires, she needs to donate her whiteboard to the Smithsonian. It will definitely be iconic by then.

Love her.

If the world were just, she absolutely would move on to be a senator and eventually president.

She's better than any of the gazillion candidates that we had running in the democratic presidential primary.

Katie Porter also got the head of the CDC to agree people wouldn’t be charged for covid tests. I looked at local hospital site today & people are being charged for covid tests.

"Do you know what this number is? Does it ring any bells?"

She's one of the smartest people in Congress.

Katie Porter is fantastic on every possible level. We can try like hell to get her on the fast track but she is still a freshman in the House. She's got a big future.

California has many people in congress, and government/politics in general, who would like a crack at the Senate. Gavin Newsome has a big field to choose from. I'd like him to send Maxine Waters to the Senate just to fuck with them.

She told Colbert that being a teacher prepared her for questioning these incompetent Republicans.

I love Katie Porter! I hope she has a long career. She's very down to earth and has zero pretensions, which is refreshing in a politician.

Observing Katie Porter at work so frequently makes reading the endless AOC hosannahs so maddening. Katie Porter is the future of the Democratic Party, not the camera hogging do-nothing from Queens.

Thanks, R8, but I don't do old fat farts. Sorry.

Love Katie, she doesn't suffer fools at all.

R25 There's room enough for both. Especially since AOC is fighting the same fight and will have her whiteboard moments

She is brilliant.

When this bitch comes toward you with a whiteboard and a dry erase marker, you'd best run! Fucking queen.

Here's where she first became known for her whiteboarding.

I ♥️ R8 !

She should run for POTUS.

Wouldn't it be fabulous to have a Candidate/President whose not collecting Social Security ?

🤓 Where did that fellow @ R20 get those great looking glasses?

From the late, great Swifty Lazar, r34.

Her key advantage is that she is YOUNG. Notice there are much fewer young Republicans which makes me hope that those ancient dinosaurs in the GOP that we have now will simply die off. (Face it, Repigs will have to reinvent themselves).

She is a fantastic person and I wouldn't change a thing about her, love her to pieces.

She's amazing--she teases out the simplest thing in the most devastating way

People always go on about how everyone should be President. Things would be so much better if they actually understood the roles within our government. I want Katie Porter to remain the legislative branch, creating bills. Not signing them.

Honestly, educate yourselves.

We're starved for competence, r39. I agree that she should remain in the legislative branch, at least for the time being. She's good at shredding fat cats.

Truman was good at investigating government contracts and holding people's feet to the fire. People became so fond of him for that, FDR chose him as a running mate. Who knows what Porter's future holds.

She knows exactly how to come at people in the questioning in this hearings. That's why people love her so much. They feel as though they have someone in a high standing position of power speaking for them as she does.

She really does represent everyday people in America.

The House is a rat-fuck, I doubt she'll stay there for the long haul. Porter's a freshman now but she's already made a big name for herself. She can write her own ticket.

She won reelection tonight, and handily, in what was until recently (and may still be) a GOP district.

Go Katie!

Excellent!

She and mayor Pete would be a formidable ticket...
