Dem Rep Katie Porter Complains About Working With Marjorie Taylor Green. The Democrat’s Staffers Complain About Working With Porter.

During an appearance on the Tueasday episode of the Late Show hosted by Stephen Colbert, Democratic representative Katie Porter from California complained about the difficulties of working with conservative congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia. However, Porter’s staffers claim that it is Porter herself who is the difficult one to work with.

“I think we should be more honest with the American people about Congress [being] a mess. … The truth is it’s hard. It is hard to go to work every day with Marjorie Taylor Greene as a colleague,” Porter told Colbert.

Nevertheless, according to Politico, Porter’s staffers raised complaints about the boss congresswoman last year, saying that she made “rude and racist comments” and “ridiculed people for reporting sexual harassment.”

“She has made multiple staffers cry and people are generally so anxious to even staff her because if ANYTHING goes wrong she flips out on whatever staffer is present,” a former Navy veteran and former Wounded Warrior fellow for Porter named Sasha Georgiades told Fox News. “She just talks to staffers however she wants.”

Text messages that came to light in December depicted Porter berating Georgiades for contracting COVID-19, and Georgiades claims that the congresswoman also “made fun of individuals whose parents passed away from COVID.” Porter’s office denies Georgiades’s allegations.

After the messages came to light, anonymous Porter staffers posted complaints to Dear White Staffers, a Twitter and Instagram account for Capitol Hill staffers, according to Fox News.

“Thinks she knows better and talks s— about other members, leadership, staffers, local [elected officials], etc., at full volume, in public, and to literally [anyone] who will listen,” one post reads.

“I’m willing to expect people to work hard. I work hard, and I think that’s what the American people should expect,” said Porter in defense against accusations in an interview with Pod Save America. “I regret if this employee feels disgruntled.”
