Katie Porter Addresses Attacking Reporter: ‘I Made a Bad Decision and Apologized for It ... Not One of These Men Have Said ‘I Made a Mistake’

‘I apologized five years ago for it, and we worked together for four more years’

RUSH EXCERPT:

PORTER: “I have taken responsibility at this point. Hundreds of times. And that‘s appropriate because I made a bad decision and I treated someone badly. I apologized five years ago for it, and we worked together for four more years. What I haven‘t heard is the people on this stage who have made other bad decisions and other mistakes and other failures of leadership. Not one of them, not one of these men have said in this entire campaign, I‘ve made a mistake not for not being able to account for undocumented children who wound up in child labor. You called that MAGA talking points and a hoax. Mr. Becerra, you like I could go down the line. I don‘t even want to waste my time on this. I just want to say to California, I have taken responsibility. I have shown that. And what that ad is about, Caitlyn, is about showing that I can laugh at myself. I can hold myself to account, and I have the fitness, the temperament and the best ideas to be governor. And everybody‘s had a chance to see now in three debates.”
