What religion is Katie Porter?

The nascent Senate candidacy of California Democrat Rep. Katie Porter may be impeded by claims of racism and a poisonous workplace environment.

Porter declared her intention to compete for the Senate seat presently held by longtime California Democrat Senator Dianne Feinstein on Tuesday.

“California needs a warrior in the Senate—to stand up to special interests, fight the dangerous imbalance in our economy, and hold so-called leaders like Mitch McConnell accountable for rigging our democracy,” Porter Tweets.

However, Porter’s campaign may be hampered by claims that she is a victim of racism and a poisonous workplace environment.

The congresswoman allegedly made crude and racial remarks to her staff and claimed that she “ridiculed people for reporting sexual harassment,” according to an ex-staffer for the California Democrat.

Sasha Georgiades, a former Wounded Warrior fellow for Porter and a Navy veteran, claimed late last month that she overheard the progressive congresswoman using racist insults while speaking to staff.

Following the disclosure of text texts showing Porter criticizing Georgiades for contracting the coronavirus, Porter is currently under fire.
