[mtngirl47]

7. Nice image! n/t

[KS Toronado]

23. Yes, we just need to elect more Democratic women to congress.

Heaven knows the "The good ole boy network" isn't working.

[Lucky Luciano]

47. Screw that

She is presidential material all the way!

[ZZenith]

50. You wouldn't want a Congress full of people like her?

Not sure I understand that sentiment but to each their own.

[Lucky Luciano]

61. Don't take it seriously. Porter is one of my favorites.

I would be thrilled to see her as president some day - that’s all.

That said, she’s a tough act to follow. Finding a lot of Porter-like people will be tough! Obviously, I would love to see many more in Congress.

[ZZenith]

62. Thank you.

[DemsIn2020]

4. Ruthless

Glad she is a Den

[calimary]

60. Welcome to DU, DemsIn2020!

I think she's absolutely GLORIOUS!

Big Katie Porter fan here!

[Dan]

5. I can't wait until

Katie runs for president!

And then (or before) AOC.

I am going to be donating to these two ladies for a long time.

[moonscape]

6. Revlimid was part of my initial cancer

therapy and is crazy expensive. My oncology specialist, when she said my next therapy would include it in combination with others, and I complained I heard the price had been increased again, said it has been around long enough that it should be generic!

I know folks paying many thousands/month in co-pay for this drug. Shameful!

[Cracklin Charlie]

8. Saving for my husband for later.

He loves Katie!

[Grins]

9. She's REALLY good! NM

[fleur-de-lisa]

10. Ouch! She spanked him good!

[forgotmylogin]

31. The medicine didn't get any better, the patients didn't get any better...

...but he made more money for himself simply by multiplying the price - money he didn't really need that desperately, unlike the patients who desperately need this medicine.

I hereby dub her: Queen of Melamine! Bow down.

[Delmette2.0]

24. I love this woman.

She has more courage and intelligence than any gop in congress.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

52. Dang she's awesome! 😎

[Johnny2X2X]

12. Her last point, the taxpayers fund this stuff

In many cases the taxpayers fund the research altogether. If they don't fund it directly, we fund the colleges who do the research that companies then purchase.

These big drug companies are more about buying research and selling the results, than doing research to help people. they're basically the middle men, providing nothing.

[hibbing]

28. Socialize the costs, privatize the profits

It is American "capitalism" and free market at it's best.


Peace

[spooky3]

13. We're Number 1!!! (In health care costs per capita) nt

[BComplex]

14. Katie Porter is a leader, and she's going to go far in her lifetime.

I love her clarity and determination.

[BeckyDem]

15. I saw Porter on Steven Colbert last week, she is incredible.

If she one day doesn't make it to the WH, it will only be because she doesn't want it.

She was saying how her kids prepare her for the GOP. lol They are always debating her.

16. Sage advice for weasels

When Rep. Katie Porter pulls out her trusty white board, head for the hills, brothers.

[qazplm135]

17. I wish I believed in hell

because this guy would be someone the demons down there would be holding watch parties for his death.

53. Shkreli Lite....

I hope he left the room and proceeded to self-fornication. With pitchforks.

18. K & R bookmarked

Thank you Rep. Katie Porter

[ProfessorGAC]

19. K&R!

I so like Ms. Porter.

[MagickMuffin]

20. Katie's very last sentence says it all

And I have been saying this for years. Big Pharma gets trillions in taxpayer money. And yet because republicons helped paved the road for profit health care industry, WE the PEOPLE don't receive discounted drug prices.

WE the People should have to pay a dime for our drugs since we have already paid for them.

[ffr]

21. That was a major ass kicking!

22. She is trending! A few responses:

Oh, my gosh, Katie Porter...............you will be our President one day. What a way to go. I wish someone would take down all of these creeps this way . Thank you, Katie Porter.

[mikelgb]

32. She is in a tough race in Orange County, CA, please consider donating if you can.

So are these robber barons.

I'm so glad she is on our team.

39. You could have given a clue as to who that man is.

He doesn't look familiar and I haven't seen the Congress schedule today.

41. Thanx.

I just got home and don't know what happened earlier.

[demmiblue]

42. No problem.

She is badass!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

43. Bravo

[BobTheSubgenius]

44. Even if you can't stand Bill Maher,

...try to find an archived record of her appearance on the panel of his show. She is HILARIOUS. The two biggest laughs of the program BY FAR were both produced by her quips.

I forget who the panelist was on her left, but he had his forehead on the desk, laughing his ass off. I absolutely love Katie Porter, because she's even smarter than she is funny. What great representation her district is getting, and what great work she's doing for the whole country.

[wendyb-NC]

45. She is awesome.

Goes straight for the truth of the matter.

[occupant]

46. this wonderful woman

Love, love, love her ! Please lets move her on up the ladder of political life.Madam President!

[neverforget]

49. Love this woman!

[BainsBane]

51. My mom takes Revlimid.

She can only have it because she qualified for support from the Lymphoma society. She was dying before she had the drug. Now she's close to full remission. Those assholes want to make sure more cancer patients die because of the astronomical prices of those meds.

[CatLady78]

64. Wow congratulations

I am very happy for your mother.

[BainsBane]

65. Thank you!

It's a hue relief.

[NoRoadUntravelled]

54. Go, Katie Porter!

[colsohlibgal]

55. She Is Astonishing

I love her, love her. She cuts through the nonsense with facts.

It remains true, everyone is entitled to their own opinions just not their own set of facts.

[Owl]

56. OMG! The cost of ONE pill? Wow.

[DesertRat]

57. k&r

[TeamPooka]

58. When Kamala becomes VP I want Porter as my next Senator.

[KewlKat]

59. She's the best

[CatLady78]

63. I came online just to k&r this

I rarely have time for anything nowadays and never pay attention to viral videos. This one however, is viral for a reason.

I wish more politicians were like Ms. Porter. It also hits close to home for me. My mother suffers from multiple myeloma. Revlimid is not one of her meds right now but it could be some day.

Fortunately, I live outside the US and our drugs are affordable if expensive. Or else, I too could have had the joy of contributing to Mr. Alles' next summer house or whatever it is the man does with the stuff.

He seems really good at thinking on his feet. "Err ummm..uhhh..it is reminiscent of my errr ummmm compensation." Bright guy...the ripe fruit of a dog eat dog meritocracy.

She has grilled other repellant human beings like Jamie Dimon and Zuckerberg in the past I hear...I'd love to see her take on ecological issues.
