Gov. Candidate Katie Porter Addresses Her Short Temper in Viral Videos

A California gubernatorial candidate has apologized after being caught on tape yelling at a staffer and getting abrasive with a reporter.

Former California Rep. Katie Porter expressed regret in a Tuesday interview with KTLA’s Inside California Politics after she got pummeled for her short temper, which was exposed in two videos that quickly went viral.

“When I look at those videos, I want people to know that I understand that I could have handled things better,” she said. “I think I’m known as someone who’s able to handle tough questions, who’s willing to answer questions, and I want people to know that I really value the incredible work that my staff can do. People who know me know I can be tough, but I need to do a better job expressing appreciation for the amazing work that my team does.”
