Virtue signalers reign supreme, with the help of the media, of course. It's the only way they can keep things going like they are
Democratic Rep. Katie Porter of California has been accused by a former staffer of denigrating people for "reporting sexual harassment" and of other demeaning remarks.
These claims come just days after text messages leaked indicating Porter may have fired a staffer over her COVID-19 diagnosis.
What are the details?
The Huffington Post noted in 2018 that Porter, endorsed by Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Vice President Kamala Harris, was previously in an abusive relationship and subjected to sexual harassment at home.Despite Porter's possible personal insights into the gravity of the issue, one of her former staffers, Sasha Georgiades, indicated that the Democratic congresswoman berated at least one other staffer who had reported sexual harassment in her office, reported Fox News Digital.
A U.S. Navy veteran and former Wounded Warrior fellow for Porter, Georgiades suggested the congresswoman "ridiculed people for reporting sexual harassment."
Georgiades said one staffer, who has yet to "file anything with [the] ethics committee," spoke about the matter of sexual harassment in the congresswoman's office with Porter personally.
Porter "basically told the individual to grow up," said Georgiades, prompting the staffer to leave her post shortly thereafter.
Extra to allegedly dissuading people from highlighting potential abuse in her office, Georgiades said Porter "made fun of individuals whose parents passed away from COVID."
While COVID suffered by others may be a laughing matter for the Democrat representative, the laughing evidently stops at her front door. TheBlaze previously reported that Georgiades was apparently fired over her COVID-19 diagnosis that led to Porter's infection.
A leaked text message exchange appears to show Porter ousting the Navy veteran — who for two years served her office — over her alleged "failure to follow office policies."
The Twitter account Dear White Staffers, allegedly operated by black and indigenous congressional staffers, shared the messages:
