Nasty Ferociously-Ugly Leftwing Extremist Katie Porter Announces Her Bid for Senate as Allegations Resurface That She Physically Abused Her Ex-Husband

Allegedly -- and I use the word "allegedly" advisedly -- she poured a pot of boiling hot potatoes over his head.

EXCLUSIVE: Dumping boiling potatoes on her husband's head, saying he's 'too dumb' to have a cell phone and calling him a f***ing slob: Allegations about Democrat Katie Porter's abusive marriage resurface as she launches Senate run and releases memoir

On March 20, 2013, Porter and then-husband Matthew Hoffman filed for divorce but decided they would continue to live in the same home

From there, the relationship deteriorated - with accusations and dishes flying

Vulgarities, hot potatoes, and shattered dishes: this is the back story of a rising California Democrat and how reports of anger issues created collateral damage that has shrouded her political career.

...
California Democrats will have to choose between Porter, a third-term congresswoman, and longtime liberal heavyweights like Reps. Adam Schiff and Barbara Lee in the Senate primary.

Wow, what selection! As the British would say, they're spoilt for choice!

Porter's divorce almost became a matter for her House campaign to deal with in 2018, but it didn't - the California Democrat told the story of the domestic abuse she said she suffered to the Huffington Post.

...

But after reports claimed she used abusive language toward staff, her divorce documents have resurfaced to DailyMail.com.

They tell the story of a messy and dramatic ending to the congresswoman's marriage that left her one of Capitol Hill's rare single moms raising school-age children.

On March 20, 2013, Porter and then-husband Matthew Hoffman filed for divorce but decided they would continue to live in the same home for the sake of their three children.

But from there, the relationship deteriorated - with Porter and Hoffman filing restraining orders against each other and alleging abuse. Old incidents came to light in divorce filings, with Hoffman alleging Porter dumped a bowl of steaming hot boiled potatoes on his head.

From 2009 on, Porter was the sole breadwinner, and Hoffman stayed home with the kids. Hoffman insisted that Porter was prone to 'extreme anger' and had a 'history of snapping and screaming at [him] and the children,' and would 'claw and scratch her arms' while blaming him for the markings.

Hoffman said Porter frequently said things like 'you f***ing idiot!' and 'you're f***ing incompetent.' 'She would not let me have a cell phone because she said, 'you're too f***ing dumb to operate it,'' Hoffman said.

No confirmed photos of Porter's ex-husband are in circulation.

Well, given that Katie Porter looks like this...

Katie Porter or Katie Perry?
I can't tell the difference!

...I'm sure the husband is what anyone would call a "stone-cold hottie."

That picture is a refutation of Rule 34. There is no porn of that.

Not even you horndogs could summon the inspiration to poke around in that shabby business.

She looks like the Kathy Bates character in Misery would look like in reality.

Porter said in divorce documents that their marriage had been 'troubled' for four years leading to divorce, but her husband had 'not acted violently' other than one incident years earlier where Hoffman punched a wall until she began the process of leaving him. In a filing, Porter said she and Hoffman had attended anger management classes together in 2009.

But in another instance, Hoffman said that in 2012 Porter came home from work one day enraged that the house was not clean and slammed a glass coffee pot on the counter, causing glass shards to spray everywhere and cut him.

'This house is a mess! You f***ing slob! You're incompetent! What the f*** do you do all day!' Porter allegedly said while the three kids were nearby in the living room. Hoffman said Porter began picking up dishes and saying, 'Look how f***ing dirty this is.'

In the Spring of 2006, Hoffman said Porter came into the kitchen as he was making mashed potatoes for dinner. As their oldest child Luke sat in the highchair, Porter looked at the potatoes in a ceramic bowl and yelled 'Can't you read the f***ing instructions!'

'She then took the ceramic bowl of steaming hot potatoes and dumped it on my head, burning my scalp,' Hoffman said.

The article reports that when she ran for Congress, there was a "whispering campaign" about the allegations of physical abuse lodged against her, so she ran to the Huffington Post to claim "I'm the real victim, here," and of course the Huffington Post was all too eager to run her dubious allegations without any verification.
