A newly-released video of former congresswoman Katie Porter showed the California Democrat screaming at a staffer to “get out of my f***ing shot!” on Wednesday.
Politico released never-before-seen footage of a July 2021 meeting Porter took part in with the Biden administration, showing her berating a staffer just a day after she went viral for flipping out on a CBS reporter during an interview.
After a staffer could be seen walking into the background of Porter’s shot, the then-congresswoman screamed, “Get out of my f***ing shot!”

The staffer then told Porter she was merely trying to inform her that one of her statements about electric vehicles during the meeting was “incorrect.”
“Okay, you also were in my shot before that. Stay out of my shot!” screamed Porter. “Okay, I’m gonna start again with electric vehicles saving us money.”
The version of the meeting published by former President Joe Biden’s Department of Energy did not include Porter’s outburst at her employee.
Porter – who is currently running to replace California Gov. Gavin Newsom in the 2026 California gubernatorial election – has repeatedly been accused of bullying by former staffers and colleagues over the years, and received criticism from Democrats and Republicans alike on Tuesday after she blew up at a reporter for asking a straightforward question about her campaign.
In the interview with CBS reporter Julie Watts, Porter raised her hands up to Watts’ face and accused her of being “unnecessarily argumentative.”
“I don’t want to keep doing this. I’m gonna call it. Thank you,” said Porter as she took off her microphone. “I have never had to do this before. Ever.”
After Watts proposed that they continue the interview, Porter responded, “I don’t want to have an unhappy experience with you and I don’t want this all on camera.”
