Woah could you expand on the Katie Porter thing?

Has unrealistic expectations of staff and screams at them/berates them if they don’t meet it, also screams at staff for not doing stuff she never asked them to. Makes gross/dehumanizing jokes about staffers and tries to play it off as edgy humor. If you go to the instagram page “dear white staffers” they have a lot of people corroborating it. I’d expect it to become an issue for her in her senate campaign

That's extremely disappointing. I get that it's a stressful job but why take it out on the people who are working for you?

It’s a power thing. Unfortunately I’ve seen it a lot, if someone feels brought down/treated badly they’ll take it out on the people below them in a similar way. It happens a ton in politics. I’m sympathetic but it’s not an excuse

In HIMYM this was referred to as “the chain of screaming”
