How does a professional diagnose — strictly clinically speaking — a patient presenting with a toxic cocktail of menopause/obesity-induced hormone imbalance and Social Justice™ ideology overlaid onto a psychological foundation that probably wasn’t overly sturdy to begin with?
The correct answer is “Katie Porter Syndrome” — a pathology inflicted upon Congressional staffers, the media, and, if the patient gets herself elected governor, the entire state of California.
In a recently unearthed video from 2021, current candidate for California governor Katie Porter is seen berating her staffer during a conversation with the Biden Energy Secretary.
The staffer’s crime?
She tried to intervene to correct the disinformation contained in Porter’s pro-electric vehicle communist agitprop.
Via Politico (emphasis added):
“Newly surfaced video shows Katie Porter — the frontrunner in next year’s race for California governor — blasting a staffer who interrupted a meeting the former House member was taping for the Biden administration.
“Get out of my f***ing shot!” Porter said after the employee came into view.
Video of the exchange, exclusively obtained by POLITICO Wednesday, shows an online conversation between Porter and then-Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm in July 2021. Several minutes in, Porter’s staffer interjected to correct something the Democratic representative had said about electric vehicles. Porter then reprimanded her employee, who had also previously appeared periodically in the background during the recording.
“You also were in my shot before that. Stay out of my shot,” Porter said.
The staffer, whom POLITICO is not identifying out of privacy concerns and who was not the source of the video, declined to comment.
A final, edited version of the webinar that was published by the Department of Energy did not include the exchange.”
