CA-GOV: Katie Porter camp rallies allies to her defense

[Abolishinist]

11. Several years ago we attended a private fundraiser for her

a block down the street from our house, around 60 or so attendees. I forget, but it was either $600 or $900 for the two of us.

After her speech, I was able to get a brief one-on-one with her, and asked her about the minimum wage, how it differed from state to state, and why should a state such as Texas, where the cost of living is much less, should have the same minimum wage as California.

Her response to me was essentially that I'm dumb, stupid, ignorant, and how dare me ask such a question of such a genius. I've not cared for her since, to say the least.
