Rep. Porter calls out Trump official for past work with anti-LGBTQ hate group 

Peter Maleitzke ... Thank you Peter. A timely reminder that some Americans still live by American values.

@Jeff Newtown I second that motion.

AMEN!!

if she enlists the help of the SPLC she's a TWAT in the making. pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/the-splcs-fall-from-grace-how-a-civil-rights-group-became-a-threat-to-free-speech/?fbclid=IwAR38vSTNTaNklVf0AOc2NBpzM8O8_IequPMMj9DKuI-EIV7NImKLic47Fn8

@@musicsuxnowadays - you're a fucking joke. PJ Media? LOLOLOLOL I'm guessing you're too goddamned stupid to understand why that's funny.

Look at other recordings.. I've never seen her be any less than well prepared, or be less than gracious. An example for sure..

It’s the law teacher in her

The people she has invited have been informed by her months before with the contents of what they will be questioned on. It first is looked over by lawyers who realize she has the goods on them. Then someone is the sacrificial lamb. They are then blamed and retire from their post for misdeeds. They are never held accountable. Just appoint another scumbag. It is great watching her pullout her markerboard and simply making them look like a 2nd grader that didn't do their homework. Wells Fargo guy was best. She had his expense records that showed he spent more money on lunch and dinners a week that 13k employees made in a month.

Amen.

I AGREE!! SHE CAN PROBABLY BE A GREAT PRESIDENT......

@@mondoshredder5783 None of whom are Republicans

We've got one like her running for president. I hope you go out and vote for him!

america needs about 300 million people to wake up and stop waiting for the few politicians that are not corrupt to do the work by themselves.

Porter/Mayor Pete. AOC is a joke

@@markinsd5025P What part about AOC is a joke? She has been the most viable candidate for future POTUS for over a year now. I think the joke is actually you and your propaganda reading skills, lmao.

I don't want AOC. She's too biased. Porter will rake anyone across the coals while AOC will only castigate anyone who isn't progressive.

Sorry but not AOC.

@@evolicious No, AOC is too extreme.

Obfuscation

"I don't Recall" Really, Really Seriously Really..

He’s from the Trump administration, of course he came this far.

He's doing it on purpose to waste time so that she asks less questions.

This is what happens when your money instead of merit gets you your college degree

She quoted the southern poverty law center which outed her as a bigot. Did you not catch that?

Maybe she can start tomorrow?

She's a shoe in, the world would be a better place

If she fought for lower taxes in her state it would be a start

That's when they start to perspire and get nervous! She's a real ballbuster!

🤣🤣😭

She should be worshipped!

No she would make them shit themselves

No, she would not.

@@yesihavebedbugs2786 She already does with his intelligent constitutes, how do you figure the more stupid variants will differ?

@@evolicious she is a hack. Enriching only herself. And providing political theater for idiots. Please cite the bills she has put forward reining in the waste, fraud, and abuse in Government. Oh right she does not do that. She just plays a crusader on TV.

Yes, I have Bed Bugs you do realize she was instrumental in making COVID-19 tests free for all Americans right ? Even ones without health care

Same here! And if she ran for president, it's the first politician I would actually donate to!

Me, too!

@@Kelly_Ben I would rather see her run for Senate or appointed to the Supreme Court. She might make a good president, but she could get more done elsewhere.

Lol same here !!!

Check out the whole congressional squad she belongs to.

Its working out, we just had a election and well, it's a pause and reset from the last four years ..

😂😂

They are all coached on how to stall, hem and haw, ask to repeat question, speak slowly, filibuster in an attempt to fill up the questioner's 5 minute time limit. Notice how, when they intentionally stall, she instantly says "reclaiming my time." Awesome!

The SLPC is a crock and a money making machine .They are a hate found themselves. They have had to issue apologies and pay damages for their libel and slander . Look at some of the people they have labeled as hate groups and see how full of shit SPLC is indeed. As soon as anyone mentions SPLC I dismiss them as irrelevant

@Reed Richards great argument there bud

Katie gently handing out the rope for the far right to hang themselves with. Love her!

Hopefully soon!

Nancy should make her heir apparent, bout time to group new leaders rather tham clutching to seat like china mitchm

Or in our stupid crazy world, he will.

Wouldn’t that be nice

I think Katie Porter will do whatever she sets her mind to. Compare her to vapid Senator Loeffler or ' Senior' advisor to Trump, fake Ivanka. Here is the difference an elected congresswoman who is highly qualified and works for the people. Versus Loeffler who was appointed and uses inside financial information to add to her multi millions. Then there's Ivanka who is qualified for nothing and is her Daddy's arm candy.

“have no place in the United States”

Yeah.. no answer on whether he *shares* them though XD She didn't ask whether they were constitutional, or have a place in the U.S. At least some of the folks you represented held these views. "Do you share their views?" A simple yes or no will do..

He's actually right to answer this way. Your personal views are not up for debate, it is only what you believe is or isn't Constitutional that matters. I realize that seems awful, but people are allowed to believe whatever they want. What they cannot do is let it interfere with policy making. Unfortunately, most people blur these lines, and create an absolute 'must' list of beliefs everyone has to share, or else they are the enemy and nothing else. Was he a squirmy little worm who probably hates gays? Probably. Did he still share the view that such hatred is unconstitutional, expressed in policy making? Yes. That means she needs to cite specific examples of his behavior with that group to prove his beliefs influence his policy setting. SPLC is a controversial source to cite for hate group activity in recent years, and recently they've cited even more main stream groups as hate groups which are frankly, inappropriate over-reach on their part. I love this woman's break downs, but this wasn't one of her more concise and indisputable lashings. www.politico.com/magazine/story/2017/06/28/morris-dees-splc-trump-southern-poverty-law-center-215312

@@benjamingardner3314 Yeah, that's great and all, but if I were a juror in a trial, and I had biases against the defendant, I would be removed from the selection for that express reason. The same logic should apply here.

@@kaylinsmith6921 The same logic should not apply. Jury trial =/= policy making

It's definitely not nitpicking. If given a job of power, he would view all policies and decisions through his own personal lens, and hire/ promote people who share the same views. The result would be new policies that reflect bigotry and hate.

@@Kelly_Ben What if he held some of those views, but was determined to uphold the law no matter what his personal opinion is. Would you still condemn him?

@@cranshawmccaw Condemn is a strong word for what I said. Everyone has personal opinions and world views, but we trust them to keep those opinions out of their jobs, where they have no place. But like I said in my last comment, the bigger problem is him hiring and promoting yet more people who hold those ultra conservative opinions, thereby changing the legal system in America over time.

@@cranshawmccaw if he is supposed to form discrimination laws, technically no matter his decision he is upholding the laws so I don't get this point. He is clearly biased against LGBTQ, why is he even considered for a position that should also defend them?

@@lukaurushadze3606 because a person's beliefs are their own, and they can exist independently of their job. You may not understand that, but some people can actually separate the two. Policy is made by entire groups of people. Wanting an entire group to be of one mind when passing laws is a tyrannical government. It doesn't matter what side of the issue you align yourself with privately.

La 1negrita Ms. Porter is much more that amazing she also understands that anyone President Orangutan hired to be part of his Criminal Administration are sleazy and criminalistic, therefore her job is made easy. What I don't understand is why more Americans with morals allow the orange orangutan to put these criminals in those positions which negatively impacts the lives of millions of vulnerable Americans. Although Rep. Katie Porter is a very erudite lady, certainly the above category of Americans would come out of inertia and do to those repulsivicians in November what the wind does with sand.

Aaron Banks cognitive dissonance corrodes the mind, people literally make themselves dumber.

Of course Trump hired him ONLY THE BEST people ,remember?? NO MORE REPUBLICANS 💙💙💙💙

Not every politician has been coached properly, tbh; some are quite transparent in this kind of situations.

It's a stall tactic to eat up time.

They’re coached to speak slowly to use as much of the fixed question period as possible. That’s where “reclaiming my time” comes from - the representative can interrupt and requestion or rephrase if they are stalling, going on a tangent or deferring.
