Rep. Katie Porter on Clarence Thomas, PAC Money, and Working with Marjorie Taylor Greene

Rep. Katie Porter tells Stephen that she doesn’t take money from lobbyists, she thinks Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is guilty of hypocrisy, and she finds it hard to go to work every day with Marjorie Taylor Greene as a colleague. Rep. Porter’s new memoir, “I Swear: Politics Is Messier Than My Minivan,” is out now.

Katie Porter is to be protected at all cost. We desperately need more public servants like her.

[DishonestTrack]

I'd vote for Katie Porter in 2024. She wrecks corporations with a whiteboard.

[wespeakforthetrees]

I like Katie Porter. Not taking corporate money? Good for you.

We're so fortunate to have Katie Porter in our government!

[js-tdgt]

Katie Porter is what a congress person should be. We are a lucky country to have her in office.

[knoname]

This was too short. Bring Katie back to the show every quarter for a government update. I wish her much success and will be buying her book.

[tiffanylang]

She never lets me down. She is smart, funny, and engaging all at the same time. I really never get tired of listening to her speak. She is my female Bernie!

[furball]

She's smart and tenacious! Her work on consumer advocacy is exemplary.

[imark]

I love Katie Porter. She is smart, she is intelligent, she is observant, she is committed, she is a force of nature.

Proud to live in Rep.Porter’s district, Irvine Ca. She comes to the community, listens to us and answers our questions, it has been my pleasure to vote for her and she is undoubtedly the only politician I’ve voted for who has actually, successfully represented me and my values. I will continue to support her …

[barrygriff]

We need more leaders in our government like Katie Porter

[MichaelSplatkins]

Wow! A politician admitted that they need to become genuine people and to start representing the people who vote for them over the people who bribe them! It's about time we started a dialogue with politicians about this stuff.

[elisabethschmerzler]

As a Californian, I’m extremely excited to vote for her in 2024! She will be an amazing Senator!

[MissWitchiepoo]

I'm not American but what a great woman. America needs more like her!

[elainejohnson]

Any time Katie Porter brings out the whiteboard, you know someone is going to get SCHOOLED!

[mtnlady]

What an intelligent, lovely, witty and powerful lady!

[KristinHa]

I LOVE this woman and EVERYTHING she stands for.

"And Washington DC is the price that you pay for the fun of campaigning"
Holy shit, this is such gold.

[kateelderson]

Katie Porter is someone America can be proud of.
