(16,950 posts)group's Nina Turner. Violent right wingers! Gee, who could have guessed....
If she is in the "shit bin" (your words) then she put herself there. Unlike some of the other "Squad" members in solid Democratic districts, Katie Porter is in a Republican district. You haven't been paying attention if you haven't seen national elections in which RWers ALL run against Bernie instead of mainstream Democrats. That's been the problem!
So this shit is happening at Katie's townhalls now! How predictable is this, for cripes sake. Let's stop the false outrage. Katie's district opponents have been hankering for this exact scenario -- pit her as a far-left socialist, and she handed it to them on a silver platter.
Katie is a great tactician and we need her, but if she loses she did this to herself with her associations and bad political decisions.
