- At a Financial Services Committee hearing by the Task Force on Financial Technology, Congresswoman Katie Porter called out Paul Watkins, Assistant Director of Innovation at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, who previously worked with the anti-LGBTQ hate group Alliance Defending Freedom.
I live in the UK and I love this woman. America needs more like her.
Yes. Yes we do.
I live in Germany and share your opinion of her - she's fabulous!
@@susella646 I also love Germany and this great Congresswoman, the quad 4, and all the 40 freshmen in Congress from the 2018 landslide midterm election. Democrats in the United States do great when Russia don't interfere with the election process. Congresswoman Porter wrote a book on mathematical enequality that she and others use for reference.
same here
Me too!!
I love Katie Porter. She represents the best of what America can be. She passionately defends all Americans with compassion, hard work, and intelligence. Thank you, Gentle Lady, for your service.
Peter Maleitzke ... Thank you Peter.
A timely reminder that some Americans still live by American values.
@Jeff Newtown I second that motion.
AMEN!!
if she enlists the help of the SPLC she's a TWAT in the making. pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/the-splcs-fall-from-grace-how-a-civil-rights-group-became-a-threat-to-free-speech/?fbclid=IwAR38vSTNTaNklVf0AOc2NBpzM8O8_IequPMMj9DKuI-EIV7NImKLic47Fn8
@@musicsuxnowadays - you're a fucking joke. PJ Media? LOLOLOLOL I'm guessing you're too goddamned stupid to understand why that's funny.
Katie Porter is like a scary story we can tell the corrupt clowns of the world. "Better act right or Rep. Katie Porter will come and get you!" 🤣
Porter/Ocasio-Cortez 2024!✌🏽
Porter/Mayor Pete. AOC is a joke
@@markinsd5025P What part about AOC is a joke? She has been the most viable candidate for future POTUS for over a year now. I think the joke is actually you and your propaganda reading skills, lmao.
I don't want AOC. She's too biased. Porter will rake anyone across the coals while AOC will only castigate anyone who isn't progressive.
Sorry but not AOC.
@@evolicious No, AOC is too extreme.
If only 5 percent of our Congress showed some of the abilities, insight, determination and clear thinking of this congresswoman, we could be the greatest country of all time. I want people like her on both sides of the aisle. Bless her and her 2008 minivan.
A politician who is legit. And won't have to apologize back in her district for her votes. Get'em Katie!
vincent narvaez
Something she said in an interview that really stuck with me:
“I was elected to do the right thing. I wasn’t elected to get re-elected.”
She’s an impressive individual.
Rightfully so; IN HER DISTRICT!!! Now, if in that district the majority gets their asses penetrated, what a wonderful district that must be...
A Dude wtf is that even suppose to mean
@@mastersonogashira1796 Not much after her people removed about 40 comments... It used to have a meaning in a specific context, but now the meaning got lost and you have a point...
HA HA HA HA legit HA HA HA HA!
america needs 534 more like katie in congress.
Amen.
I AGREE!! SHE CAN PROBABLY BE A GREAT PRESIDENT......
@@mondoshredder5783 None of whom are Republicans
We've got one like her running for president. I hope you go out and vote for him!
america needs about 300 million people to wake up and stop waiting for the few politicians that are not corrupt to do the work by themselves.
Rep Porter,
THANK YOU for all your hard work in presenting the truth.
👍
On behalf of myself and our LGBTQ+ community, thank you so much for all of the fantastic work you do Mrs. Porter. You are truly one of the best representatives I have seen in my life and I love watching the work that you do, I appreciate you and your work and I'm so happy you are in congress to represent us.
When she said “ oh it’s my pleasure “ I was ready
She saw an all you can eat sign?
Lol! Oh its my pleasure.
in other words..try me bitch
Ready for what? 😁💋😗😍😁😄
@@jspin1103 if you don’t know then it you
@@kaylawilliams1085 ohh I know. 😘
It's funny how her simple questions stump these idiots!! Throw them out!! I love you Ms. Porter!!
Simple is correct. She puts up simple questions that got through the heart of "hard" problems.
He isn’t stumped, he is anti-LGBTQ and is trying to hide it by not answering.
Welcome to the Trump administration, where the LEAST worthy are job candidates.
@@markrieck1048 WOW! So, you mean to say that in order to work for an administration you need to love homosexuality...
@@A.Dude. No. Not at all. I do expect adherence to the rule of law, and maybe even a touch of liberty for all.
"Do you agree with those views?"
* DEAFENING SILENCE *
Rep. Porter is one of the few I've seen that's really "draining the swamp".
Yes, yes is she🔥🔥🔥
America could be great if they elected this woman as president.
We could be great if we elected politicians like this woman. Be it president or senator.
peter warren we just need people to stop being afraid to elect women and accept change
Katie 2024!!!
I kind of hope she ends up running as Biden’s VP. She’d crush Mike Pence in a debate. And I think she’s someone people could actually get excited about.
It would certainly be greater.
Dang this lady definitely does her homework, I’m proud to her there.
Look at other recordings.. I've never seen her be any less than well prepared, or be less than gracious. An example for sure..
It’s the law teacher in her
The people she has invited have been informed by her months before with the contents of what they will be questioned on. It first is looked over by lawyers who realize she has the goods on them. Then someone is the sacrificial lamb. They are then blamed and retire from their post for misdeeds. They are never held accountable. Just appoint another scumbag. It is great watching her pullout her markerboard and simply making them look like a 2nd grader that didn't do their homework. Wells Fargo guy was best. She had his expense records that showed he spent more money on lunch and dinners a week that 13k employees made in a month.
"I don't recall being at that meeting." He doesn't know where he was working for 3 years, he doesn't know what that job's motto and mission was. What does he know?
How much he gets paid.
He knows she has him by the balls
"No I don't agree with those views" that would be a simple answer
I don't think he knows how to say those words.
But when guilty they want to use up her time to stop being questioned. This gal has more 'gonads' than too many of the men 😁
We need more like Katie in Congress. She cuts to the bone of a problem and holds people's feet to the fire.
she needs to work on HER STATE'S PROBLEMS
cayogator - The folks in her district voted her in as United States Representative. Therefore her area of concern is the United States. The District also voted for a Representative (and a Senator) to serve in the California Legislature. Those are the folks who need to concentrate on what is happening in her State.
Unless they have a D next to their name.
She did nothing more than hollow posturing here.
No she doesn't. She just knows how to make uninformed people THINK she does. She's simply a Democrat ideologue.
I am speechless that this ‘lawyer’ made it this far. A fumbling glob of statements, words and stammering.
Obfuscation
"I don't Recall" Really, Really Seriously Really..
He’s from the Trump administration, of course he came this far.
He's doing it on purpose to waste time so that she asks less questions.
This is what happens when your money instead of merit gets you your college degree
"I didn't represent them, I just advised people how to represent them."
A true champion for the people!! I cannot get enough of her!
She is so refreshing and competent
She quoted the southern poverty law center which outed her as a bigot. Did you not catch that?
He died a little inside answering the questions.
Not enough
He withered in her presence, as he should. Katie's mind is simply too strong.
@@sharonmullins1957 yes
@@sharonmullins1957 😂🤣
One world have to have a soul for that!!!!
Mr Watkins seems to think that Mrs Porter would ask him questions without already knowing the answers.
I love Rep. Katie Porter, she's a bad ass, and I wouldn't want to be on the other end of her questioning. She's awesome!!!!!!!!!!
I want to meet this woman and shake her hand. She doesn’t represent my district or state but she is smart informed and ready to take on the hardest points others shy away from. She is someone I aspire to be
Here here.
☣️PLEASE DON'T SHAKE HER HAND!☣️
I wish she was my representative
How sad for you.
Thank you Katie....throw the jerk out!! He’s a liar like the rest. He will lie to get in then spew his hate.
Right on! Exactly.
Er, pot kettle here I think!!

@@peterclifford8305 I need some details here, please explain.
We need more serious people as K Porter. Thank you for standing up for the people, to the people, and the country. You are a people’s champion!
This is what allyship looks like. Thank you Rep. Katie ❤️ 🏳️🌈
Why is this clown talking so slow. Consuming the time?
sounds like a robot and un concerned. cause he does not really care.
Yes, exactly. He is trying not to be outed as anti-LGBTQ by avoiding giving straight answers.
Yes
"Only the Best"@@chucklewis6838
She only gets two minuted, but it was the longest two minutes of his life.
How could a guy like that even be considered for this position?
republican
Because this administration is using 1984 as a manual.
Look at trump's other appointees. Rich privileged people with little experience in the fields they're being put in, who have donated to the campaign or have personal connections. A business run this way would fold. Case in point, many of trump's previous businesses.
Money. It’s all this country gives a fuck about, and the more you have the more you get away with.
Trump has the uncanny ability to find the exact "anti-matter" version of the person who SHOULD be in every position, just like himself. Just look at his Cabinet.
Katie Potter will always be ready, if you don’t have the answers, she’s got it!!!! I love her so much, we need her here in NJ.
The HUGE question is why are ALL politicians not like her. Dedicated, thorough and working for the people.
Did you know they’ve been designated a hate group? BOOM 💥 Go Katie.
RealTakerslady ...Ms Porter studies under Liz Warren at Harvard Law! What a team those ladies would make in 2024! The thought of it makes me cry tears 😭 of hope for the future! 🌝🌝💐💐🦋🦋💋💋🙏🙏😅😍
The issues she's talking about are basically the front pages of the website for ADF. They make no secret what they are for. He can't deny he had no idea what they were about.
Which means he either is okay with their viewpoint being different than his or he believes in that stance.
I Live in Texas and you make me want to Head to California. Your wit is legendary and formidable.
I love this lady and wish we had her running for PM here in Britain
She needs to run for president!!!!!
kate bauder I disagree. She needs to stay in Congress...maybe the Senate because she can ask actual questions...
@@nosajdrewz9345 But maybe someday. She is still pretty new.
The southern poverty law firm is a racist hate group and so are those that support them.
@@Randy-md6xl shut up you racist!
@@Randy-md6xl No, it's not. White supremacists just don't like being called out for their bigotry and racism so they claim that. If you're going to be a racist, at least be honest about it.
funny how slowly he was speaking at the beginning and thanking her for her questions just to exhaust her time but when he got owned he started running his mouth at the speed of light 💡 lol 😆
😂😂
They are all coached on how to stall, hem and haw, ask to repeat question, speak slowly, filibuster in an attempt to fill up the questioner's 5 minute time limit. Notice how, when they intentionally stall, she instantly says "reclaiming my time." Awesome!
The SLPC is a crock and a money making machine .They are a hate found themselves. They have had to issue apologies and pay damages for their libel and slander . Look at some of the people they have labeled as hate groups and see how full of shit SPLC is indeed. As soon as anyone mentions SPLC I dismiss them as irrelevant
@Reed Richards great argument there bud
I live in Ohio, a state generally regarded as Republican. I’ve sort of accidentally stumbled upon more information about Representative Porter and I’m in love. Thank you for championing all of us, even us gays living in the red states. I’m excited to see what comes next. You’re giving me tremendous hope.
You are viscous and cut through bs like it's a tv show. I love you.
I love when she makes them start stuttering.
That's when they start to perspire and get nervous! She's a real ballbuster!
🤣🤣😭
She should be worshipped!
Wouldn’t you love to see her question Barr and Trump? Satie would make them sweat.
No she would make them shit themselves
No, she would not.
@@yesihavebedbugs2786 She already does with his intelligent constitutes, how do you figure the more stupid variants will differ?
@@evolicious she is a hack. Enriching only herself. And providing political theater for idiots. Please cite the bills she has put forward reining in the waste, fraud, and abuse in Government. Oh right she does not do that. She just plays a crusader on TV.
Yes, I have Bed Bugs you do realize she was instrumental in making COVID-19 tests free for all Americans right ? Even ones without health care
Thank you congresswoman!! You are very much needed.
I'm glade to see all these sharp women shaking things up in Congress! Thank you and women like you for actually doing your job and doing it well!
Ms. Porter you owe it to this country and its people to run for president . Integrity and fearlessness of you is much needed. Please
Maybe she can start tomorrow?
LOL
She's a shoe in, the world would be a better place
If she fought for lower taxes in her state it would be a start
I have never commented on any politicians board not even Obama. But you madam are a Star.
"Thank you for providing me with that question, blah, blah, blah, what else can I say to fill in this horrid 5 minutes."
@Rep. Katie Porter I love watching your videos! Your constituents are lucky to have you representing them .. Thank you for the work you do .
How many times can I say that I love this woman? No amount of times is enough. She is one of my heroes.
I wish my representatives were even half as good as Katie Porter!
Luetkemeyer is just a trump stooge
Then Vote please.
I am Australian...it's 3.30 am...I am on the internet and I am totally immersed/mesmerized by the way you do your job, Katie.
Your country is in the midst of political turmoil, which has the rest of the World shaking it's head in disbelief. Big business screwing over the populous through greed. If you add to that, the poor handling of the pandemic situation, you have chaos to the max.
I/we, can only hope, that good people like you, can help to reign in that chaos. America's credibility as a World leader is at stake. I wish you all the best.
Its working out, we just had a election and well, it's a pause and reset from the last four years ..
Katie is absolutely amazing! Thank you for all that you do!
She’s got my vote
lestudio76 ... Yes. Mine too.
Katie has integrity, wit, compassion, strength, and intelligence.
Clone her for my district please.
God bless Rep. Katie Porter!!!
This lady (K Porter) is fantastic ... as usual. Polite, concise, informed ... we need more like her !!!!
Katie does her homework before asking simple questions. Keep up the great work Katie.
Porter is a wonderful representative! We need more folks like her that are honest, intelligent and have the heart to defend fearlessly the working class, gays and other downtrodden Americans.
*edited to add the word ‘fearless’ !
I'm French male Nurse who went back to college to get a law degree. I was raised by a single mom with my little sister (who's an IP lawyer now). We grew up in a very LGBT friendly environment, both of our godfather are gay men from 2 different gay couples. I was taught it was completely normal since as long as I can remember so around 3 or 4 and at that age my mother used to say that whoever I fall in love with in the future she'll support me. I ended up being a straight guy engaged to a black woman and my mother always supported it too. I'm a quite a normal guy except that I smoke and drink a little bit to much but I guess I'm just French.
Right wingers need to stop their bullshit about sex Ed and teaching kids about the LGBT movement. It doesn't confuse kids it just make them more open to other people and more secure about their own sexuality.
Anyway, I discovered representative Porter on the TYT network in November and I want to thank you, you remind me both of my mother and my best law teachers and I watch all of your interventions.
It's sometimes just funny because you always seems to be the smartest, sharpest and more prepared person in the room. And I would rather catch the flu than being interviewed by you.
Your constituents are lucky, feel free to come to France anytime you want.
Thank you. I grew up in a very accepting household as well and many of my parents' best friends were gay. I'm straight and my younger brother is gay, and yes, I could've told you he was gay when he was in 1st grade.
@@girishravi7629 what's that sued to mean? Because it sounds like you'd rather have the coronavirus then Rep Porter.
No you can't have her we have to have one reasonable human being in the government. 😁
I feel like I’m reading about a completely different world when reading that comment, and not in a bad way at all. I wish I had an experience like this. I was almost kicked out of my high school when I came out (I live in the south in the US). I was told I couldn’t “promote” my “lifestyle”, as if who I love is an advertisement.
Nick Phillips
And they are right !
Being openly gay makes other kids turn gay !
Just as a straight society, movies about straight couples, most parents, the sex Ed, oppression of queer people etc. should turn all people straight...
Wait a minute 🤔
I'm going to go on my smart TV, search Katie Porter and binge watch this person. You can't make this s..t up! Time to break out the popcorn
Thank you Rep. Katie Porter, and thank you to your aides who help you get this info.

Katie Porter is a firecracker and I love her. I first saw her on Bill Maher and she matched his wits. She just destroyed Paul Watkins.
I also loved how she questioned Ben Carlson and called him out on his lack of knowledge
I wish we could clone Katie Porter. She is an amazing champion of smart, effective leadership.
Great job Katie Porter.! Thank you.

Every district needs a Katie Porter! Porter for PRESIDENT!!
Ugh! A key way to tell if someone is a true politician: "Thank you for your question."
I wouldn't care to be thanked if it replaces being answered.
Well said! Lol! Everyone knows that's a delaying tactic because you need to filter your answer--huge tell!
Everything they do is to eat up time so they can’t give real truthful answers and she can’t get to all her questions. They’re skunks.
Katie, I 👍🏻 and 💝 you more each passing day as you speak truth to power. Right on sister!
She's my favorite politician. Smart, tough & fearless!
Love Katie! Is the tide turning?
Way to go Kate
As a woman who wants to become apart of government, you are so so inspiring.
Am from the ~~U~K I wish are politicians had a spine just like this good woman, IMO she is excellent.
Katie Porter for President!!
M John Vice-president? With President Sanders?

he is sooo not being forth coming or truthful. She is PERFECT
Conflict of interest much??!! Get 'em Katie!!
I swear I don't get how she does it. Hearing these people say "I don't know" "I don't recall" "I'd have to look into it" all the time. Good lord I'd go bonkers.
she was ask about this. her response was 'i was a teacher and i am used to children not doing their homework and being unprepared for class'
Katie's my hero ❤ such a badass
As someone who voted for you I must say, I do not regret anything. Thank you rep Katie
I voted for you too, thank you so much for the fantastic job you do!
As a Canadian, I am JEALOUS that I don't have the opportunity to vote for this woman. She is AWESOME!!
Hi from Australia...Thank you Kaite...
This woman comes prepared. I love the form her questioning takes. Once skewered quite thoroughly by her, it would be amusing to watch them squirm ... if the subject were not so important.
What a brilliant mind! I really hope that she will be re-elected. Otherwise it would be a tremendous loss.
KATIE PORTER FOR PRESIDENT!
Yes but although as much as I agree, I feel that Porter being part of Senate is far more useful. She is a very intelligent woman. Senate really would be an amazing fit for her.
Katie, you are a superhero! keep doing what your doing!
"I don't recall" = "I won't answer this."
Liars tend to get awfully forgetful when they don't have a lie ready.
