California’s Katie Porter Screams at Staffer During Video Call: ‘Get Out of My F—ing Shot!’

 @B7S3TF4 from California  answered…8mos8MO

Treats her staff badly, rude to them and lashed out on them

 @B7QZDL6Peace and Freedom from California  answered…8mos8MO

She does not seem to handle situations professionally and instead lets her emotions leak through.

 @B7TDSHF from California  answered…8mos8MO

She has a temper and cussed out staff.

 @B7QV5F4 from California  answered…8mos8MO

Her past behaviors have come out and I don't like how she treats people.

 @B6FV8FN from California  answered…11mos11MO

She called her last election a fraud. She has poor policies that are not backed up by technocrats.

 @B7RSF9X from California  answered…8mos8MO

She doesn't really propose anything good

 @BDMC9B9 from California  answered…1mo1MO

no

 @B6TJ399 from California  answered…10mos10MO

She’s a democrat

 @BDYDRK6 from California  answered…2wks2W

She is not nice to her staff.

 @BDY5MD2Democrat from California  answered…2wks2W

Katie Porter has some excellent egalitarian policies, but Tom Steyer is proposing an anti-corruption office.

 @BDXLZRR from California  answered…2wks2W

California’s needs a louder opposing party.

 @BDXHCD4 from California  answered…2wks2W

She is a terrible person and a bad leader and I do not trust her with anything at all

 @BDWZCWL from California  answered…3wks3W

There shouldn't be any legalization of same sex marrige

 @BDWY8JD from California  answered…3wks3W

Her views are so basic, and we need people that understand complex situations

 @BDWJWNFDemocrat from California  answered…3wks3W

She doesn’t have enough support to win

 @BDW9BSFDemocrat from California  answered…3wks3W

Based on the last election the way she treats her staff

 @BDW7ZWC from California  answered…3wks3W

Prefer another candidate

 @BDW3F22 from California  answered…3wks3W

She is not qualified to lead and relys solely on race and equity to earn voter approval...also the damning videos of being rude to staff members.

 @BDW28BJ from California  answered…3wks3W

She’s not endorsed by planned parenthood

 @BDW26HV from California  answered…3wks3W

She is as egotistical and self-centered as Trump but liberal flavored.

 @BDVWYCY from California  answered…3wks3W

this question is so biased. WTF

 @BDVNL5DNo Labels from California  answered…3wks3W

She is not polling high enough to have a reasonable chance of winning and is too aligned with the DNC. I like Steyer's positions but do not trust that he will actually follow through. However I will vote for hiom in the primary to try to block Hilton from winning the second spot for the fall election and then will decide between Steyer and the other candidate (likely Becerra) in the fall

 @BDVNKMX from California  answered…3wks3W

She lacks sufficient standing

 @BDVLX8X from California  answered…3wks3W

No chance at winning. Needs more experience

 @BDVKWKP from California  answered…3wks3W

Seems to perform poorly under pressure.

 @BDV95MTDemocrat from California  answered…3wks3W

I believe Becerra has much more experience

 @BDV82WC from California  answered…3wks3W

She’s dumb

 @BDV5SGJ from California  answered…3wks3W

She is not a front runner in this current election, and I would prefer not to split the vote.

  @bryancullisonSocialist from California  answered…3wks3W

I would vote for her, but I just think Tom Steyer is more progressive in his policy stances.

 @BDV2HT9 from California  answered…3wks3W

Katie Porter is corrupt, arrogant, and she’s an ineffective leader.

 @BDTZZB8 from California  answered…3wks3W

Allegations of her treating her employees badly.

 @BDTN8CN  from California  answered…3wks3W

Her treatment of employees

 @BDTDGQM from California  answered…3wks3W

I don't like her attitude and her lack of respect when she is in discussions and debates.

I don't think Katie Porter has the right mindset

 @BDPRTSQ from California  answered…4wks4W

I don't agree with her political views

 @BDR6Q2M from California  answered…4wks4W

Just not my preference

 @2JKHRB7 from California  answered…4wks4W

The way she treats her subordinates is indicative of her ego problems.

 @BDQMD9D from California  answered…1mo1MO

CA lacks Ranked Choice Voting. the current system could allow 2 Republicans to be the choice in November

She is a gross human being

 @BDPWCQBPeace and Freedom from California  answered…1mo1MO

She’s a hot-tempered woman

 @BDNF7KN from California  answered…1mo1MO

 @BDNB4JP from California  answered…1mo1MO

because of the things she has done

 @BDN96HTLibertarian from California  answered…1mo1MO

A top reason not to vote for Katie Porter is her stances on policy and union.

 @BDN8CCC from California  answered…1mo1MO

She does not align with my views

Elizabeth Warren Walks Back Murder Comments

Congressional Democrats broadly denounced the murder of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson Friday morning, after Republicans started accusing Sen. Elizabeth Warren of excusing violence.“No one's condoning this,” said Rep. Brad Schneider (D-Ill.). “Violence never is the right answer for anything. And it was a horrible murder, a tragic loss for his family.” Warren this week condemned the shooting, but added that people “can be pushed only so far.”"We'll say it over and over," Warren said on MSNBC’S “The ReidOut.” " Violence is never the answer. This guy [Luigi Mangione] gets a trial who's allegedly killed the CEO of UnitedHealth, but you can only push people so far, and then they start to take matters into their own hands."In a statement to POLITICO, Warren said, “Violence is never the answer. Period. I should have been much clearer that there is never a justification for murder.” Top Republicans denounced Warren's comments and the walked-back rhetoric, with House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) calling it “inappropriate and dangerous.”Some House Democrats asked about the incident on Thursday pivoted the conversation to discuss policy options on health care or gun safety.“I don't really know that this is really a space that Congress normally weighs in on,” said Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas). “But at the end of the day, I think it’s an opportunity, because now people are talking about health care and to talk about the fact that this industry has honestly not been as helpful as it could be.”“Violence is never the answer,” said Rep. Troy Carter (D-La.). “We know that there are people suffering, there’s great challenges in healthcare. There's great challenges, and people have, in fact, been wronged, but a process of governance is the way to address that, not violence.”And Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.) who denounced the murder, said the killer should be prosecuted and that “I do know that allegedly a ghost gun was used, and we should also ban ghost guns. There's no reason for them beyond the streets.”

Israeli Bombings Kill 2,300 In Lebanon in 3 weeks

Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.The Israeli military has ordered people living in more than a quarter of Lebanon to flee, according to a UN calculation, as its fight with the Iran-backed Shia militant group Hizbollah threatens to engulf the Mediterranean country.Lebanese authorities say Israeli bombing has killed more than 2,300 people and injured almost 11,000, mostly in the past three weeks, with Israeli attacks reaching areas far beyond Hizbollah’s traditional bastions of support in the south.More than 1mn people have fled their homes in Lebanon in under a month, according to its government, a dramatic forced movement of the population in a country of only about 5mn inhabitants with a land mass smaller than the US state of Connecticut. Israeli forces began a ground offensive in south Lebanon two weeks ago, in their fourth invasion of the country in under five decades. They had already destroyed large parts of the densely populated southern Beirut suburb where Hizbollah had its headquarters, and killed many top militant commanders in air strikes, including former leader Hassan Nasrallah.Rema Jamous Imseis, Middle East director of UNHCR, told journalists in Geneva that “over 25 per cent of [Lebanon is] under a direct Israeli military evacuation order”. “People are heeding these calls to evacuate and they’re fleeing with almost nothing,” she added, saying that 80 per cent of the shelters opened by the Lebanese government — mostly in schools — were now full.
