Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) was slammed online Wednesday after claiming that she lost the Democratic Party&#8217;s U.S. Senate nomination because California&#8217;s primaries were rigged by billionaires.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) and former Major League Baseball player Steve Garvey, a Republican, both advanced on Tuesday to the November general election.
&#8220;Thank you to everyone who supported our campaign and voted to shake up the status quo in Washington. Because of you, we had the establishment running scared — withstanding 3 to 1 in TV spending and an onslaught of billionaires spending millions to rig this election,&#8221; Porter claimed on X. &#8220;I also want to thank every person who supported us over the past six years. It&#8217;s clear Californians are hungry for leaders who break the mold, can&#8217;t be bought, and push for accountability in government and across our economy. And that&#8217;s exactly what we as Americans deserve.&#8221;
&#8220;Special interests like politics as it is today because they control the politicians,&#8221; she added. &#8220;As we’ve seen in this campaign, they spend millions to defeat someone who will dilute their influence and disrupt the status quo. But take my word for it: I&#8217;ll never stop fighting for you.&#8221;
Porter was criticized for failing to take responsibility for losing.
&#8220;Here’s a Democrat who claims her election was &#8216;rigged,&#8217; I’m certain the MSM will pound her for that,&#8221; said former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer. &#8220;You’re not allowed to say that — or does that apply to only one person?&#8221;
The Daily Wire&#8217;s Ben Shapiro quipped, &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you write something on a whiteboard about this.&#8221;

&#8220;I wonder if Katie Porter has considered that she’s just horribly unlikable and not a very good person,&#8221; said Republican strategist Matt Whitlock.
CNN&#8217;s Andrew Kaczynski noted: &#8220;She lost by 20 points, but is saying the election is rigged because she was out spent.&#8221;
Democratic strategist and former Obama campaign official Steve Schale added: “I’ve lost races where my candidate got vastly outspent &amp; once when some rich dude dumped 40 million on our head. It completely sucks. But can we stop trying to excuse every loss with the term ‘rig’ or ‘rigged?’ You lost, which I totally get just blows. But that’s all it is.”

Katie Porter Mocked For Claiming Primaries Were Rigged Against Her After She Was Blown Out

Adam Schiff

California

Steve Garvey

U.S. Senate

Former Major League Baseball MVP and GOP senatorial candidate Steve Garvey won a chance on Tuesday to face off against Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff for the California Senate seat that was held by the late Dianne Feinstein.
Garvey finished second behind Schiff but ahead of Democratic Reps. Katie Porter and Barbara Lee to give the GOP a slight chance to pull off a major upset in the heavily Democratic state. No Republican has won a U.S. Senate seat in California since 1988; there are twice as many registered Democrats as Republicans in the state.
“Let&#8217;s celebrate,” Garvey told his supporters. “Welcome to the California comeback.”
Referencing his walk-off home run as a San Diego Padre against the Chicago Cubs in the fourth game of the 1984 National League Championship Series, which kept the Padres in the series before they won the decisive fifth game to advance to the World Series, he continued, “What you all are feeling tonight is what it&#8217;s like to hit a walk-off home run. Kind of like San Diego in &#8217;84 &#8230; Keep in mind, this is the first game of a doubleheader, so keep the evening of Nov. 5 open as we will celebrate again.”
“You’ve exercised the most powerful of our freedoms; that is our right to vote,” he declared. “I’ve always said this: It is the single greatest currency we have. You can’t trade it; you can’t give it away. It’s inherently yours; it’s your personal choice. Your vote is your shared belief with me that California is no longer the heartbeat of America. Sadly, it’s just a murmur. That we have challenges to face up to like closing the border and responsibilities to live up to like helping the homeless off the streets and a pathway back to their dignity. And if we do those things and more our best days will be ahead of us, with California once again being that vibrant heartbeat of America.”
“As we celebrate tonight I want you to know we haven’t come this far to only go this far,” he said. “When I stepped on the field for the Dodgers and the Padres, I didn’t play for Democrats, Republicans or independents; I played for all the fans, and tonight I’m playing for all the people.”

Then he turned to the multitude of problems faced by Californians and Americans in general, exhorting, “Let me ask you: If you believe that our wide-open border has been a humanitarian and national security catastrophe, then join our campaign. If you’re struggling to pay bills at your kitchen table and only buying $10 of gas instead of 10 gallons, then come join us. If you’re embarrassed by the state and federal government’s failure to address the heartbreaking and endless plight of the homeless, come join our campaign. If you’re frightened by the brazen crime that runs rampant in our cities because of those who have turned their back on our police, then join our campaign. If you’re tired of career politicians that worry more about their next job in Washington, then your next job here in California, you join our campaign. And if you’re concerned that our foreign policy shows weakness and not strength to our adversaries and allies, then please join our campaign.”

California Senate Candidate Steve Garvey Holds Primary Election Night Party

Steve Garvey Wins Chance To Face Adam Schiff For California Senate Seat

In a debate among four California senatorial candidates, three of whom are Democrats, Republican senatorial candidate and former MLB All-Star Steve Garvey hammered Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA), accusing him of lying to all Americans.
The debate included Garvey, Schiff, and California Reps. Katie Porter and Barbara Lee.
“I think you’ve been censured for lying,” Garvey stated bluntly to Schiff.
After an interlude, Schiff replied by attacking former President Donald Trump, saying:
<blockquote>
I was just called a liar by Mr. Garvey. Mr. Garvey, I was censured for standing up to a corrupt president. And you know something? I would do it all over again. Because that corrupt president, that president has been indicted with 91 felony counts, that president that you won’t refuse to support. Yeah, he’s a danger, and I will stand up to him and (former House Speaker) Kevin McCarthy and Jim Jordan and any of those MAGA enablers of his in the Congress. The reason why our democracy is in trouble is because folks don’t have the courage to stand up when they need to.
</blockquote>
“Sir, you lied to 300 million people and you can&#8217;t take that back,” Garvey fired back.

The <a href="https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-resolution/521/text" target="_blank" rel="noopener">resolution</a> that was <a href="https://www.npr.org/2023/06/21/1183564794/schiff-censure-house-republicans" target="_blank" rel="noopener">passed</a> in June 2023 censuring Schiff  — the former chair of the House Intelligence Committee — started by declaring that “the allegation that President Donald Trump colluded with Russia to interfere in the 2016 Presidential election has been revealed as false by numerous in-depth investigations,” then followed by stating Schiff had abused the trust that had been given to him by allowing him access to “sensitive intelligence unavailable to most Members of Congress.”
“Representative Schiff abused this trust by alleging he had evidence of collusion that, as is clear from reports by Special Counsel Robert Mueller, Department of Justice Inspector General Michael Horowitz, and Special Counsel Durham, never existed,” the resolution continued, adding, “&#8230; for years, Representative Schiff has spread false accusations that the Trump campaign colluded with Russia” and had “ behaved dishonestly and dishonorably on many other occasions, including by publicly, falsely denying that his staff communicated with a whistleblower to launch the first impeachment of President Trump.”

“Representative Schiff hindered the ability of the Intelligence Committee to fulfill its oversight responsibilities over the Intelligence Community, an indispensable pillar of our national security” and had “misled the American people and brought disrepute upon the House of Representatives,” the resolution asserted.
