It's the young lady behind her that couldn't contain her laughter for me.😂 That would have been me for sure.

[RandomStranger]

I love how she literally wrote the textbook on consumer law and is still so good at playing dumb to get these clowns to rationally explain themselves. She is amazing!

[jennifersimotas]

I worked in asset management for over 25 years and Katie you could not have explain it better. Awesome!

[jayplays]

The lady is constantly flawless. She knows every answer before she poses the question. She is a national treasure for the American citizens as a whole, whether they were able to vote for her or not!

[glindathegoodwitch]

Katie Porter is one of American’s best representatives. She is smart, articulate and always goes to the heart of the matter when she speaks.

[guybeme]

Thanks Katie for your intelligence, clarity and staight fowar approach

[VivianInTheOC]

Katie Porter for Senate!!! Watch this… then chip in a few bucks to her Senate campaign. Let’s do this!🎉

[bowtoyoursensei]

I love the relieved way she says "Thank you...I yield back."

[brianfurlong]

What a total disgrace to common sense.

[CalvinBloopers]

The ladies in the back can’t hold it together 😂

[PaulFitzpatrick-bz]

I have an idea, Katie Porter should give a mandatory class to ALL incoming members of Congress.

[garyneilson]

It's sure entertaining to the people behind her, though they aren't bad at hiding it, I'd had been snorting and laughing out loud.

[sniferlip]

Love me some Katie Porter. I don't even live in CA and I donated to her Senate campaign

[eswift]

Coming to a Congress near you! The Stupiding: Part 3!

[TerriStefani]

Katie has the mind if an attorney. Ih yes she is one !

[nickfamulary]

Da Best ever. Katie Porter is a rock star.

[randyfleet]

The problem, as I see it, is most republican voters won't understand one thought being presented here.

[rhondaenglish]

I've seen so many discrepancy in the home that the government sold me. Still today this say. THANKYOU. PRAYERS FOR HUMANITY. PLEASE. SHE SPEAKS FOR ME. THANKYOU.

[RohARc]

How many banks collapsed already 5 or is it 6

The good congresswoman is a very hard working, smart woman. She is a valuable asset to the state of California, where I was born. However, and this is very simple. What republicans want is small government, low taxes, a secure border, and a solution for high gasoline prices and inflation. And, a strong military. That's it.
