Katie Porter Blames 'Billionaires Spending Millions to Rig' Primary After Blowout Loss
2024-03-08
[MEDIAITE] Rep. Katie Bat Girl Porter
...Dem law professor, attorney and politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party,'s 45th congressional district (Orange County) since 2019. Katie takes her job and her personal dignity so seriously she once showed up for a committee hearing dressed as Batman....
(D-CA) suggested on Wednesday that the California U.S. Senate election had been rigged after she fell 20 points behind Democratic rival Rep. Adam Schiff
...Showboating U.S. Representative for California's 28th congressional district since 2013. A member of the Democratic Party, Schiff has served in Congress since 2001. He currently serves as the chairman of the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence. In a manner reminiscent of Joe McCarthy, on March 22, 2017, in a interview with Chuck Todd on MSNBC Schiff claimed there was “more than circumstantial evidence now” that Donald Trump's campaign colluded with Russia." Todd followed up by asking if he had seen direct evidence of collusion and Schiff responded that there was "evidence that is not circumstantial and is very much worthy of investigation"...
(D-CA) and Republican candidate Steve Garvey.

"Thank you to everyone who supported our campaign and voted to shake up the status quo in Washington," wrote Porter in a series of social media posts after she came third. "Because of you, we had the establishment running scared — withstanding 3 to 1 in TV spending and an onslaught of billionaires spending millions to rig this election."

She continued:

It’s clear Californians are hungry for leaders who break the mold, can’t be bought, and push for accountability in government and across our economy. And that’s exactly what we as Americans deserve.

Special interests like politics as it is today because they control the politicians. As we’ve seen in this campaign, they spend millions to defeat someone who will dilute their influence and disrupt the status quo.

But take my word for it: I’ll never stop fighting for you.

Porter received criticism for her suggestion that the election was rigged, with critics comparing her remarks to the claims made by former President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
following the 2020 election.

"She lost by 20 points, but is saying the election is rigged because she was out spent," reacted CNN
...formerly the Cable News Network, now who know what it might stand for...

#5  She banked on going head to head with Schiff. Garvey was not in her math.

#4  actually, Schiff's ads while the narrative was critical of Garvey gave Garvey a lots of visibility that he would never have been able to get without the ads.

#3  She is just bitter about missing out on those sweet billionaire bucks. No worries, she will find another grift.

#2  Fat, ugly, and stupid is no way to go through life, "lady". Schiff ran ads against "MAGA Steve Garvey". She ran ads against "MAGA Eric Early". I figure they thought they'd both end up running against each other.

She chose...poorly

#1  ...ALWAYS somebody else's fault, never theirs.

Like the kulaks, wreckers, and saboteurs. Always their fault.
