Katie Porter bulldozes hostile witness during House hearing
House Democrat Katie Porter is not to be messed with. She’s smarter than you, savvier than you, and she’ll get the bet of you – especially if you try to BS her during a congressional hearing.
An oil executive learned that the hard way today when he tried to play hostile witness, and Katie Porter promptly took him to school:
A Big Oil exec told me I had a "misconception" about a special tax break polluters get that other businesses don't.
So, after explaining the deduction to him, I offered to write it out of the tax code if that what he wants. Just let me know! pic.twitter.com/ML25PMnrg5
