Katie Porter threatened to walk out of an interview with a local CBS News affiliate after the reporter asked several follow-up questions about whether her support for Democrats’ congressional redistricting measure would alienate Republican voters.
The on-camera sitdown with Porter, a frontrunner in the gubernatorial race, grew confrontational after the reporter, Julie Watts, asked: “What do you say to the 40 percent of California voters — who you’ll need in order to win — who voted for Trump?”

As a Democrat she is not used to a reporter from CBS pressing her on any issue. She probably thought she'd just be the recipient of multiple air kisses.

Like most Democrats, she isn't used to getting real questions and follow up questions to her non answers from reporters. I'm sure she was expecting some puff piece interview with warm fuzzy praises disguised as questions like she normally gets. Instead, the reporter dared to challenge her and the Hulk emerged, full of rage and anger.

I would not vote for any of the Dem contenders in that election, and the Rebooblican candidates are not much better. Porter is a typical female Dem.... unattractive, graceless and humorless. Hilton should have stayed at his TV job. The not-so-Golden State continues its slide.

CBS. Is this reporter part of the new Bari Weiss regime at this outlet that has been so cozy with Dems in the past?

Isn't Katie Porter the one who is married to Mr Potato Head?

A frontrunner but I have never heard of her?
Loved it when she said when asked about (40%) the voters, “How would I need them in order to win, ma’am?” I agree it does not matter how the people vote, the winners are pre-determined.

It wasn't even a difficult question. A politician with any skills could easily spin that around with some blabber about ''serving all the people, blah, blah..'' She will be worse than Kamel-Lot in the governor's office.

What she was saying, we don't ever need to even talk to a Republican in the state of CA any longer as they don't have any position of elected power for nearly 20 years now.
After all, we've set up a system that we control and are able to manipulate to ensure the top 2 vote getters during the primary are the 2 we want (CA has the jungle primary system) in the general election.
Just look at how we manipulated the system to ensure Schiff had the candidate we wanted for him to run against and we were able to paint as out of touch with CA.
We've figured out how to disenfranchise millions of voters and will do even more if the people are fooled enough to think they're "fighting Trump" and trying to protect "OUR" democracy.
It's funny, because it's not the countries democracy but OUR very liberal and myopic version of what we consider democracy. People are fooled into thinking it's actual democracy when we have one-party rule.

I suppose she thinks her dropping out of an interview would be some kind of loss. BTW, who is Katie Porter and why should we care? She appears to be just another pompous Democrat.

The head case known as Katie Porter, who abusively turned her young daughter into an environmental activist, a Goron, and a miserable person, is not cut out either for motherhood or for any kind of political power. When she was at Harvard, she was taught by Lieawatha aka Liz Warren, faux American Indian. Doesn't the resultant idiocy now make sense? Loopy women. I feel sorry for my friends (and godson and his family) who live in California. Their statewide political leadership is about as bad as it could be, and it's not getting any better.

There is a video out on the internet of her yelling obscenities at a staffer who walked into the filming of one of her campaign ads. I hope that past staffers start coming out of the woodwork with stories of her abuse of the help. Her message to the people in CA who voted for Trump is "don't want you and don't need you". I am surprised that she did not refer to them as deplorables.
