Katie Porter Shows MAGA Who's Boss In 26-Minute Floor SMACKDOWN

Rep. Katie Porter delivers a brilliant rebuke against MAGA Republicans and the GOP over their pathetic efforts to open a new mining site in the Minnesota wilderness. Porter roasts Republicans Pete Stauber, Michelle Fischbach and more for wanting to give handouts to big oil and polluters. Porter lays the smackdown on MAGA Republicans in epic fashion.

[@user-qc3zg4er5c]

Katie Porter really does her homework and the country is blessed to have her working for the people and our lands.

[@bigbrotherau05]

It’s a pity she lost to Schiff in the California Senate primary earlier this year, even though she is not that great on Israel’s war on the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank but still a bit better than Schiff who seems just as blind and supportive when it comes to the Isreali government’s war crimes. And apparently Katie has chosen not to seek reelection for her House seat, which is a real loss in Congress because no one is able to communicate so effectively in 5 minutes on the many important issues & problems she has dealt with on the House floor and the committees she’s been a part of.

[@harryruiz8248]

I have great admiration for Katie porter. She knows how to set the record straight at curbing the GOP lies!

Katie Porter always comes prepared and reports what is really going on behind the scenes. We must leave lands in America that future generations will be able to go to areas where areas remain that remind us of the beauty of our nation. The Republican greed has the potential to wipe out everything beautiful in our country. When we study the Indian cultures prior to others coming and stealing their lands. The Indian’s life style was mostly one of great respect for the land and water. They had maintained the land and beauty of this country. Like it or not we stole that land, something that should never have happened. We made treaties that we 100% went back on and we should have no pride in stealing this land. Now we are still trying to take coveted land from all Americans, destroying not only the beauty but contaminate our wilderness areas.

[@ReformedRepublican]

Actually, it was Mr. Trump's favorite president, Andrew Jackson, who violated all the treaties the American government had made with the Indians. In history, if it is taught properly, reveals the "Trail of Tears" in breaking the treaties that diminished the amount of lad they had left after we STOLE it from them, bringing European diseas fir which they had no immunity and decimated their population. As an American History major at a top 10 University, l didn't learn of these violations until after l graduated, the awareness brought in the late 1960's and beyond teaching me what wasn't taught before then. There was no African American studies then. After the protests and assinations in 1968, a more enlightened curriculum was designed for actual American History was available, and l was lucky enough to be able to take extension courses, and also study medical courses which had always interested me. I still avail myself of those classes, and l am do old now, l could attend the University free!!!!

Katie Porter never speaks without presenting concrete facts. She is so intelligent and logical and so knowledgeable about a wide variety of topics.

I am an ardent mining enthusiast who has read and studied the history of mining throughout US history. Representative Porter is right. EVERY copper sulfide mine around the world, even those from ancient times, results in a toxic environmental disaster. Without exception. It is simply the result of exposing sulfide containing waste rock to the elements. Sunlight and water convert the sulfides to sulfuric acid. This inevitably pollutes ground and surface waters. It is inescapable. Even those in the desert southwest.

As a Minnesota resident I don't want to get stuck with an environmental clean up bill. Don't believe me check out the taconite tailings that are causing mesothelioma in the miners and anyone living near the mines. My granddad was an olier on the iron range. He ended up with lung and heart problems from working in the mines. Not to mention that all this was strip mining. Our PBS TPT channel2 station did a documentary film called,"IRON RANGE: A PEOPLES HISTORY" all about taconite mining. We still have three taconite mines operating. I also don't want foreign owned companies in our state taking what belongs to us. Acid rain kills our land and people. Leave the Boundary Waters alone stay out of Minnesota.
