Rep. Katie Porter said she regretted claiming that the Senate election was rigged after her loss to Rep. Adam Schiff and said she should have used different words.
Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif., said she regretted claiming California's Senate primary was rigged by an 'onslaught of billionaires,' after losing to fellow Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff, and said Tuesday she should have chosen different words.
Porter herself has received millions of dollars from big donors to boost her campaign, despite touting her record of not accepting corporate PAC money. She has reportedly accepted thousands of dollars in donations from big Wall Street donors, according to federal campaign finance disclosures. After her initial social media post claiming the primary was rigged, Porter doubled down. ''Rigged' means manipulated by dishonest means.
