Rep. Katie Porter, democratic congresswoman of Irvine, openly criticized her House colleague Rep. Adam Schiff of Burbank during the last debate for California's…
During the final debate before Super Tuesday, four leading candidates for the U.S. Senate in California clashed, with Rep. Katie Porter, a Democratic congresswoman from Irvine, openly criticizing her House colleague, Rep. Adam Schiff of Burbank.
“My colleague Rep. Schiff says, for example, he wants to bring down the cost of childcare. But he isn’t on either of two major Democratic bills that would do that. He’s not on a bill to provide rental assistance for people although they were all part of plans. That’s the gap between congressman Schiff and candidate Schiff.”Why Rep. Barbara Lee may be a long shot for California's U.S. Senate
But the most fiery attack on Schiff came when Porter tried to compare her records on efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change. In response, Schiff took a step further than maintaining his defensive mode against Porter by suggesting the Irvine congresswoman herself has taken campaign donations from energy companies.
