Former U.S. Representative Katie Porter took the stage at the California Democratic convention on Saturday, holding up a large sign that read “F-ck Trump.”
“I’m running for governor,” Porter said, continuing her vulgarities, “because I’m willing and ready to get sh-t done.”
“Together, we’re going to kick Trump’s ass in November,” Porter added. “I’ll stand up to Trump and his cronies, just like I did in Congress. With or without my whiteboard. But this election is about more than defeating Trump.”
The cringeworthy stunt, which comes as Porter ramps up her campaign for California governor, was captured on video by Loomer Unleashed.

Porter, known for her aggressive political style, has a history of angsty rhetoric and public clashes.
Last October, videos emerged showing her in a heated exchange with a CBS News interviewer, abruptly walking out, and another incident in which she berated a staffer for interrupting her live shot.

The crass “F-ck Trump” message has been a growing trend among Democrat politicians looking to make themselves seem edgy.
Earlier in the week, Illinois Lt. Gov. Juliana Stratton released a campaign ad featuring several Illinois residents, including Sen. Tammy Duckworth, chanting the same phrase.

Unfortunately, the wine aunts that comprise Stratton and Porter’s bases are likely loving the performative outrage.
