Ex-Staffer: Katie Potatey Focused on the Quiet, Shy Staffers for Bullying and Humiliation

Psychopaths develop a skill for choosing victims.

I'm talking about Katie Porter but I heard someone, I think one of the guys on the Ruthless podcast, call this gourd-shaped monstrosity "Katie Potatey" and that's the only name I'll use for her going forward.

I will also correct the NYPost, which erroneously refers to Katie Potatey as "Katie Porter."

Katie Potatey targeted 'softer spoken' underlings for abuse, was 'downright mean', ex-staffer warns voters

By Chadwick Moore

Katie Potatey was exposed for berating a staffer and throwing a tantrum during an interview in two video clips this week.

And the California governor candidate is even worse when cameras aren't rolling, one ex-staffer told The Post Friday.

One of the lawyer and politician's cruelest tactics is dehumanizing her young underlings by referring to them in the third person -- while in their presence.

"It was easier for her to do these things to the quieter ones, the more soft-spoken ones, who wouldn't be like, 'hey, that's not okay,' " Sasha Georgiades, a former Wounded Warrior Fellow and Navy veteran who served in Porter's office from 2020--2022, told The Post.

"Going after the people you think aren't going to fight back -- I think it speaks a lot about a person's nature when they do that.

"Especially in arena like politics, which you're here to serve people. Actually, you're here to serve those quiet people more, at least that's my viewpoint on it," she added.

...

Georgiades described a Jekyll and Hyde boss, never knowing which Katie would show up.

"If anything went wrong, she would flip on a dime," Georgiades said, recalling one incident where her young team had setup a Facebook video shoot but picky Potatey didn't like what they had done.

"She's talking to me while the other girl is in the room, telling me, 'I don't even know why she's here. I can do this job better than her.' And this is, like, very inappropriate. The girl's in the room with us," Georgiades said.

"It is dehumanizing and it's demoralizing. It makes you question: why am I even doing this?" Georgiades reflected.

In July 2022, Georgiades released text messages with Potatey exposing her shockingly toxic work environment. Potatey and Georgiades had both tested positive for COVID-19 after attending an in-person staff meeting. Porter then sent angry text messages blaming the asymptomatic Georgiades for infecting her--and then fired her.

Potatey's campaign didn't immediately return The Post's request for comment.

The explosive former congresswoman was also accused of having a short fuse by her ex-husband, with whom she has three children, who described in a restraining order how she had once allegedly dumped steaming mashed potatoes on his head and had chastised him with swear words in front of their kids.

Oh! So maybe that's why Ruthless called her Katie Potatey. I assumed it was just due to her figure, which resembles a sack of spuds with a gland issue.

Below, Katie Potatey speculates about Trump's "demise," fantasizing about him having a heart attack.

Katie Potatey, maybe you should worry about your own cardiovascular health.

Or don't. Healthy at any size!
