17. KTLA, Los Angeles' GOP Nexstar station, is carrying that clip on loop. Why do you think that is?

KTLA, a Republican owned station that literally ignores the insanity of Trump and the devastation of Los Angeles ICE raids, now thinks that a candidate using a swear word in talking to her staffer in private is the scandal of the century.

There is ONE video (not "videos" ) of her telling a staffer, "get out of my fucking shot," when that staffer interrupted a taping Porter was making for the Biden administration in 2021. That was not her "berating and humiliating staffers," that was her snapping at one staffer to get out of a shot.

Might there be more like that? She doesn't know, and obviously she has a disgruntled staffer who was saving unflattering stuff about her, so there could be more embarrassing videos. As there would be for any candidate. It would be stupid to say No and then another video comes out. Then she'd be called a liar. And she can't say yes since she doesn't know for sure. So she just avoided responding. Who Cares?

What Californian's care about is who is going to make their lives more affordable here, so they don't have to move out of the state they love in order to afford a home.

Can we focus on the issues that matter? That is how we win elections. Don't let Republicans set our agenda.

I'm happy that she wants to improve, but I think that she'd already peaked in congress. It's all downhill from here. QueerDuck Oct 15 #1

I suppose some people want their own version of Trump, but I don't think it's a common sentiment among Democrats. tritsofme Oct 15 #3

She used one expletive, it was not an expletive laden rant. SunSeeker Oct 15 #11

I really like her when she was in Congress. All of this is very disappointing. themaguffin Oct 15 #8

Ms. Porter your standard of conduct is typical republicans standards. republianmushroom Oct 15 #9

No, she'd have to do a lot worse than saying one expletive every 4 years to match a typical Republican. SunSeeker Oct 15 #13

Really. Telling a staffer to get the fuck out of a shot does not create a "victim," let alone an actionable claim. SunSeeker Oct 15 #19
