It isn’t anything illegal, but it’s a case of alleged serial workplace abuse that would be plastered all over the press if the member of Congress in question were a Republican. Instead, it’s a prominent Democrat from California whose history of abusing her staff is widely known, though no one cares about it due to political allegiances. It’s like the palace intrigue that surrounded Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), which was an open secret among Hill staffers, though unearthed in full when she ran for president in 2020. Former congressional candidate and reporter Matthew Foldi wrote in the Spectator about this looming scandal that no one in the mainstream press wants to cover. It involves Ms. Katie Porter from California, who berated a staffer for reportedly giving her COVID and several other unpleasantries.
It's not an isolated incident, and if the media is wary of the source, which is the social media account Dear White Staffers, then why did Politico pen a glowing feature about it? Dear White Staffers exposes the bad guys and gals on the Hill, something that Foldi mentioned when wondering why everyone has seemingly avoided this story, even though they have more than enough source material to corroborate the claims. The most damning against Rep. Porter is her alleged remarks against African Americans (via The Spectator):
RecommendedUnless Porter runs for higher office, I don’t think much coverage will be devoted to the alleged workplace misdeeds and racist remarks from a California liberal. More people will be aware of it, but that’s about it. Los Angeles City Council members were caught making atrocious remarks against blacks last Fall. Some fallout did get media attention and public outrage, but some members have remained in their positions. Nothing will happen here, but Foldi’s question remains salient.
