I wish Katie Porter would run for President. She would have my vote in a heartbeat!

Katie Porter and Her Whiteboard

Queen of the whiteboard, Katie Porter, is known for putting CEOs in their place during Congressional hearings. Porter is always on her game and she’s usually more knowledgeable about their company’s business practices and finances than they are.

Recently, in the U.S. House of Representatives, while discussing dishwasher legislation—yes, with everything the American people need, they’re working on dishwasher legislation—Katie Porter gave another viral speech on The floor calling out the Representative advocating for the legislation.

Apparently Representative Duncan knows nothing about dishwashers. Katie Porter proposes that maybe before trying to legislate something, one should have experience with the object of said legislation.

Katie, do women’s bodies next!

When the clip first began, I thought for sure she was using an analogy before an attack on Republicans over anti-abortion legislation.

It was still a great Katie moment, though.

As a single mom, she understands what life is like for the average American mother and she actually cares about working-class people. Porter battles rich CEOs by bringing the facts in a Congressional hearing.

She isn’t one to shy away from calling out Republicans, either. Anyone else a fan of “that moment when she pulls out the whiteboard?”
