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.

�When she gets angry, she will claw and scratch her arms and then say to
me �Look what you made me do!�� Hoffman also said in the records, first
obtained by DailyMail.com. �She regularly says that I am a bad parent in
front of the kids � Recently the children began spitting at me and
throwing their food at me, calling me �bad daddy.��

In 2006, Hoffman said, Porter took issue with how Hoffman was preparing
mashed potatoes for dinner, asking him: �Can�t you read the f�ing
instructions!� Then, her ex-husband said, Porter raised a �ceramic bowl of
steaming hot potatoes and dumped it on my head, burning my scalp.�

In response to Hoffman�s allegations, Porter, then a professor of
bankruptcy law at the University of California, Irvine, in Orange County,
claimed in her own request for a restraining order that her ex ordered her
out of the house on April 24, 2013, and called her a �dumb bitch,� a
�despicable person� and �f�ing evil� before adding that she should �rot in
hell.�

According to Porter, Hoffman then raged at the couple�s son Luke, telling
the child: �You have taken a bad situation and made it a thousand times
worse.� Hoffman also allegedly punched a bathroom light switch until it
shattered and threw a newspaper at her.

In her first congressional campaign, Porter referred to herself as a
�victim of domestic violence� and her House biography touts her as �a
single mom of three school-aged kids.�

�I don�t have a shady background,� she told HuffPost in May 2018. �I�m the
most boring person in America. I�m a mom of three kids, I protected my
family, I ended a marriage that was troubled.�

The third-term congresswoman is running against two other House Democrats
� Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) and Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) � to replace
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), who announced in February she would not
seek re-election.

Porter, a former Harvard law student and prot�g� of progressive Sen.
Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), appeared on �The Late Show with Stephen
Colbert� this week to tout her new memoir, �I Swear: Politics Is Messier
Than My Minivan.�

The Orange County lawmaker may be best known for using props such as a
whiteboard in committee hearings when grilling congressional witnesses �
and even dressed as Batgirl on the day the House first voted to impeach
President Donald Trump in 2019.

During the prolonged vote series that determined the next speaker of the
House this past January, Porter could be seen in the chamber reading the
self-help book �The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck.�

In December, a Navy veteran who worked for Porter accused the
congresswoman of dismissing sexual harassment allegations made by another
staffer and cracking off-color jokes about race.

Sasha Georgiades, who worked for the Democrat for two years as a Wounded
Warrior fellow, also said Porter harshly criticized her aides and appeared
to be motivated by a desire for �fame� and �power.�

Georgiades told Reason magazine that Porter demoted her at the end of the
fellowship for allegedly exposing the congresswoman to COVID-19.

A few decades ago, we closed down all the State run mental institutions,
and now house the patients in a centralized, federally operated facility
we call "Congress".

Katie Porter has no business serving in the House of Representatives and
should resign. Porter needs therapy for her many issues.

This is the same lunatic who has spoken openly about how she has
indoctrinated and terrorized her own kids about how the Earth is going to
self destruct due to Republicans climate policies. She is not only an
abusive parent, spouse and God knows what else, she is a national disgrace
who, like typical leftist Dems these days, will say anything, lie all day,
and hates the USA.

The leftists demanding that Feinstein step down from her Senate seat, are
salivating at the thought that Newsom will be able to appoint her
replacement. And this POS would be in the running for Feinstein's seat! A
very scary thought! Whoever gets the seat will be able to run as the
'incumbent' in 2024, a big advantage. Luckily Porter has more baggage then
Sam Brinton.....that and her skin pigment probably means Newsom would pick
a different Marxist, but a Marxist just the same.

Good thing she is white, because if she were a POC she would be a shoe in.
Case in point: Sheila Jackson Lee, Maxine Waters.

That woman has some serious mental issues. Perhaps a reservation in a long

This woman does not belong in politics! I thought the democrats couldn't
get worse, but I was wrong. If she replaces Pelosi, we are in big
trouble.

I don't think we have seen how low Dems will sink. There is still a ways
to go.

Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden
fiasco, President Trump.

Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the
The World According To Garp. Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood
queer liberal democrat donors.

President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed
dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
