Katie Porter Isn't Part Of 'The Squad,' But She's Still A Force To Be Reckoned With

Description

House Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) isn't part of "the squad." That's the four-woman group of freshman progressives of color who were attacked this week by President Donald Trump. But according to CNN, that doesn't mean she's not a thorn in Trump's side. Porter has emerged as a viral star when it comes to how banks and the government treat the working poor. She's also a whiz at puncturing Trump's claims about the economy, and has asked top officials do basic math under oath. For example, she says her back-and-forth with JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon was meant to highlight CEO pay disparity. Porter says her goal isn't to highlight incompetence, but instead to make esoteric topics more accessible.
