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.

@@michaelbayer5094 It's a mix of things. I'm actually a moderate and modern republican, and I would vote for her in a heartbeat compared to what we have had for a long time. There's no intelligence in the GOP, and it generally lacks in politics. The truth is that when politics became the media circus it is today, you cater to "politicians" who are in it for the fame, fortune and power. Very few politicians are in it for the right reasons. I suspect that Mitt Romney actually had a genuine desire to do something good for his country, and so does someone like Liz Cheney. Sadly someone put an orange haired ape at the wheel of this shortbus, in 2016 and ever since it has just been downhill. Obama was bad, Trump was a disaster, Biden is incompetent and so on. There are no proper "statesmen" left because laziness and insanity rule the US at the moment. The lunatic running for GOP VP is a gun totin' bible bashing crazy lady calling a married Ukrainian president gay, the former president is at best capable of acting like a petulant child, and the rest is ruled by religious nutters and right wing extremists. How insane is that? The truly scary part is that it has gone to hell on both sides. The more extreme one side gets, the more extreme the other side gets.

See when you make such statements, you are going against everything she stands for. She knows that's not true, and she'd never utter those words. Both sides has fools and both sides has smart people. Sadly, the GOP pushes out most of what is there with a sound mind. You have to distinguish between normal modern and sensible urban professional republicans and MAGA redneck lunatics. If there was ever a republican that would be able to, and understand the importance of working across the middle with someone like Porter, it would be Liz Cheney. Sadly, that never came to be because of what politics has become, on both sides mind you. The crazies has come out to play on both sides, and you can be 100% sure that Porter has colleagues in her own party she is just as fed up with as Greene. Trump, MAGA, Greene and their gang of inbred bible bashing hicks are not the republican party. That's a political cult using the republican name.

Yeah, opensecrets is a cool resource regarding lobbying spending by corporations, and it is often to both sides. It's pretty interesting to track which years see increasing or decreasing spending, an tie-in to what was being debated or proposed at the time. Over-regulation can be almost as bad as under-regulation though, but it tends to be in states like Cali and is often more about bureaucracy than actually needed ones.

Ultimate respect for Professor Porter!

[@joanalorenzo6949]

Protect this woman at all cost. She is wonderful. She is witty and brilliant.

[@Iggystarkk]

I don’t really know much about Katie Porter but after seeing this interview I will definitely be learning more about her. She has great energy ❤️

[@VirginiaBMW]

Not been watching Stephen Colbert lately but had to tune in for Katie Porter❤

[@peacebaby74]

Congresswoman Porter and watching the clips of her whiteboard was the reason i started being interested in political matters . Abroad and at home.

[@carvedwood1953]

Katie Porter is an absolute legend and one of the few American treasures.

[@francearchambault4218]

Just finished reading her book - we need more politicians that are factual and go after the performative politicians that are focused on dividing us

[@MultiDianeD]

We could use all politicians to be more like her!

[@kalipw0210]

I adore and admire this hella tough cookie. I wish we had many more like her.

[@RandallChase1]

She is amazing! I was a lifelong Republican and it’s leaders like her that made me open my eyes to how corrupt leadership has become. She holds both sides accountable and it’s amazing!!

[@LindaC616]

Congrats on the awakening 🙂

[@slkhjf]

I'm glad you looked away from FAUX long enough to actually SEE her. I'm astonished by how many people never even look at what the 'other side' is saying about stuff. Or go to actual source material for fact checks on ANYTHING that aligns with their beliefs. Thanks for being one of the few.

I’m a Republican however Katie Porter is one of those people who you can respect while still disagreeing with on some issues

[@B_Bodziak]

@@Jack-yw7bq May I ask what some of the major party issues that prompted you to align with the GOP? I'm seriously asking because I think it's helpful for all of us to know where each of us is "coming from", esp if we're ever going to end the division in our nation that appears to be thoroughly tearing... no, ripping us apart.

[@B_Bodziak]

@@Jack-yw7bq I do believe that Porter's honesty and integrity when she approaches issues gives her widespread appeal and is going to put her in the Senate. Central Cali is much different than Southern Cali and SFO. Porter has a no-nonsense, practical approach with broad appeal.

Katie, the citizens of California RESPECT YOU!!
