Newly-released footage of
California gubernatorial candidate
Katie Porter threatening to walk out of a
CBS News interview has
gone viral in which the Democrat is seen growing flustered by a question and almost tearing her mic off.
The interview with journalist Julie Watts of
CBS News California Investigates, which was conducted last month, hit a snag when the reporter asked the former representative about her prospects of winning over Republicans in the state as she seeks to succeed the term-limited
Gavin Newsom.
“What do you say to the 40 percent of California voters, who you’ll need in order to win, who voted for [President Donald] Trump?” Watts asked Porter.
“How would I need them in order to win, ma’am?” Porter responded, seemingly unhappy with the question but chuckling for the camera, before going on to express certainty that she could pick up the remaining 60 percent of non-Trump votes.
“I have stood on my own two feet and won Republican votes before, and that’s not something every candidate in this race can say,” Porter said, referring to her time representing “purple” Orange County.
“But you just said you don’t need those Trump voters,” Watts countered, causing the ex-congresswoman to throw up her hands and say the interview was becoming “unnecessarily argumentative.”

BJ-
The audio/video is much worse than the read.
She says that she has never had to answer a follow-up question before.
Of course not - that's why Democrats are so awful at it.
