Is it possible that California could wind up with a governor even more arrogant and obnoxious (and certainly more bad-tempered) than Gavin Newsom?

Why, yes. Yes, it's very possible: "Katie Porter Has Bizarre Meltdown During California Governor Candidate Interview".

Here are a few interesting tidbits from her past: "Rep. Katie Porter scalded ex-husband’s scalp with potatoes".

The former husband of Rep. Katie Porter said the California Democrat frequently abused him verbally and threw “toys, books and other objects” at him during their marriage — even pouring scalding-hot mashed potatoes on his head during a fight, according to divorce records.

Matthew Hoffman, who filed for divorce from Porter in 2013, said in a request for a restraining order dated April 30 of that year that he was “routinely” called a “f—ing idiot” and “f—ing incompetent” by his rage-prone spouse, who also shattered a glass coffee pot on their kitchen counter in March 2012 when she felt their house wasn’t clean enough.

“She would not let me have a cell phone because she said, ‘You’re too f—ing dumb to operate it,’” Hoffman said of Porter, 49, who has also been accused of ridiculing former members of her staff.

I think I can actually see this one sending Republicans off to re-education camps, to pick oranges by day and read Das Kapital at night. I sure hope Victor Davis Hanson has a safe house somewhere.
