The Democrat primary race for the open Senate seat in California is now over and Adam Schiff won, to no one’s surprise. Although there were plenty of Democrats itching to get that nomination, it came down to Schiff and Rep. Katie Porter.
Porter did not take her loss well, and even suggested the race was rigged. Doesn’t that make her an election denier?
FOX News reports:
Katie Porter suggests billionaires rigged California Senate primary after losing to Adam SchiffSenate candidate Katie Porter, D-Calif., on Wednesday suggested that the California primary race was rigged by “an onslaught of billionaires” after losing to her Democratic opponent, Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.The progressive Democrat did not win a single county, earning a statewide total of just under 14%. She finished nearly twenty points behind both Schiff and Republican candidate Steve Garvey and came in third place in Orange County, which she has represented since 2019.In a post on X, formerly known as Twitter, Porter said her supporters “had the establishment running scared – withstanding 3 to 1 in TV spending and an onslaught of billionaires spending millions to rig this election.”She said the results demonstrated that Californians were “hungry for leaders who break the mold, can’t be bought, and push for accountability in government and across our economy.””Special interests like politics as it is today because they control the politicians,” she said. “As we’ve seen in this campaign, they spend millions to defeat someone who will dilute their influence and disrupt the status quo.”
Don’t Democrats and the media usually frown on this kind of talk?
The Washington Examiner reminds us that this is actually not anything new for Democrats:
Katie Porter joins the long line of election-denying DemocratsRep. Katie Porter (D-CA) recently joined a distinguished group of politicians that includes Hillary Clinton and Stacey Abrams: she is now an election denier.Porter ran for the California Senate seat that was held by Sen. Dianne Feinstein for decades until her death last year. But in the jungle primary election on Tuesday, she was soundly defeated by Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Republican Steve Garvey, who will face off in November’s general election.
Someone of higher rank among Democrats must have called Porter and ordered her to clarify because she later posted this message on Twitter/X:
Here’s the worst part for Porter.
What a shame.
