Porter campaign sent expletive-filled email day after WHCD shooting

Katie Porter’s campaign email used the phrase four times and did not mention the shooting that occurred the day before, Republicans said.

  • On Monday, April 27, 2026, California gubernatorial candidate Katie Porter sent a fundraising email to donors containing the phrase "F*** Trump" four times, including in the subject line.
  • The email arrived two days after the April 25, 2026, assassination attempt on President Donald Trump at the White House Correspondents Association dinner, when Cole Thomas Allen charged a security checkpoint and agents evacuated the President.
  • Republican National Committee spokesman Nick Poche condemned the message in a statement to Fox News, calling it "proof that she is not fit to be California's governor" and labeling Porter a "degenerate loser."
  • Critics argued that refusing to condemn Porter's rhetoric makes others responsible for the rise in left-wing political violence, framing the controversy as a significant liability for her gubernatorial campaign.
  • Previous scrutiny of Porter for shouting at staff and threatening to quit interviews adds to concerns among Californians about her behavioral history and fitness for the governorship.
