So it rated two separate videos. The most important one was that her committee did something no committee has ever done before, went after TFG:

another referral to DOJ to do its job. Katie Porter feels that crimes were committed but will DOJ come to the same conclusion?

Prosecuting former officials of the Republican party would be partisan and so far DOJ has stayed away from doing that.

If I were in court and found out she was the opposing attorney, I would preemptively kiss my ass good bye.

She could make a fortune as a practicing lawyer. Instead, she is dedicating herself to public service.

at her rallies and there were fist fights. Not a good political move in her district to endorse a brogressive. Porter is very well funded and very formidable, so she should be okay in her very conservative district. There are parts of her district with diversity, but that part of Orange County is wealthy-ish conservative, so it was a politically abrasive thing to do for that area. Nina is not politically viable almost anywhere.

Things like economic fairness for working class men and women, standing up to corporate and government corruption, and holding powerful interests accountable for their many predations. It's a winning formula. The Democratic party needs more like her.
