CA Rep. Porter denies firing staffer for catching COVID after text messages surface, go viral
On MSNBC, Rep. Katie Porter, D-Calif., argues that rising inflation rates reinforces the "need" for abortion amid Roe v. Wade's potential overturning., is taking heat for how she treated a veteran and former staffer in July for allegedly violating"office protocols" by catching COVID-19.
"This former employee was not fired. She was a fellow in our office, and weeks before she breached COVID protocol in July, we had already mutually agreed on an end date in August 2022," a Porter spokesperson wrote. "At one point we had an office hike and she left her kids with the staffers in the back while she walked off with the chief of staff," she continued."There is no regard to us or feelings or even what we are going through. It is only about her and what she want. I tried to pass on legislation for veterans and active duty members several times and was told no because she didn’t like who had written it.
According to the published texts, Porter asked Georgiades on July 8 why she did"not follow office protocol on testing" for COVID-19, calling it"really disappointing." "Not an excuse but the reasoning for the lack of forethought," she continued."I appreciate everything this office has done for me."
