Katie Porter lands new California government gig after swearing

Katie Porter just found the one way a Democrat in California can keep a paycheck without ever facing voters again. Governor Newsom handed her a new government post, and she took the oath like she won something. She didn't. She lost twice. But in California, that no longer matters as long as you have the right friends.

Losing an election is just the beginning of a political career there. Porter built her name on rage against corporate greed and influence peddling. Now she is the one getting the golden ticket from the most powerful Democrat in the state. If she had an ounce of self-awareness, she'd turn it down. She didn't, which tells you everything about the reformer act.

This is how the left actually works when nobody is watching. A cushy appointment for a loyal Democrat, no voters required. Meanwhile, Californians are still paying for the policies Porter cheered on. She never had to answer for them at the ballot box, and now she doesn't have to answer for them at all. The system is run by insiders who lose elections and still end up on top. At least she's being honest about that part now.
