The defense of this behavior and interview is really odd. California is the state that sent Boxer, Fenstein, Harris, Waters, Pelosi to Congress— all of them tough, serious, smart women who faced tons of unwarranted shit for being women and/or black.  It’s honestly kind of insulting to women like them to compare what they went through to deserved criticism for on-camera meltdowns and cursing at employees.

I’ve had a number of people work for me and I have never, ever given an instruction as condescending as “Get out of my fucking shot.”  

Reminds me of this…

Well it's a different world now and you have to win elections to fix things. In case you haven't noticed, raging assholes win elections now, moreso after the raging assholery is known.

I understand you're being a little somewhat tongue in cheek, but I think the "he's an asshole but he's our asshole" voter is an exaggerated faction. 

Even amongst MAGA voters, I think it was the "he gets us" that resonated more than the wrestling like heel promo language Trump employs.  

Just don't ask me how Greg Abbott or Dan Patrick earns support; those two confound me.

It reminded me of the Christian Bale Terminator Salvation rant, which was quite a bit longer and more fun:

Christian Bale loses his shit

Too old.  That’s not as bad as the push for a 77 year old Janet Mills to run against Collins in Maine but there needs to be an implied, “we’re not running someone older than 60 unless they’re an incumbent” rule.  

Helluva lot younger than Villaraigosa, and she is committed YIMBY + has institutional influence, whereas Porter is newfound in the former and lacking in the latter (which is why I think it’s fair to hold her accountable for being pretty insufferable). Anyways, I just find the sexism angle sort of weak in the context of a state in which women consistently hold the most prominent positions at federal, state and local levels.

Even though it's beyond debate at this point that women have for generations been excluded, mistreated, and held to impossible double-standards, that is not an excuse to abuse your employees. We would be making the exact same criticisms of Greg Abbott if he reacted the same way to a question about how he plans to reach the 42% of Texans who chose Kamala Harris.

You don't know that she abused her employees.  You assume it, because someone framed it that way and you accepted that narrative.   Look if you see me with my kids one moment you might think I am a monster.  Chasing and yelling at them, dragging them across the floor and roaring.  You might not be aware I was pretending.  If you see my kid get hit with a pitch you might assume I did it on purpose or assume I didn't.  Maybe I intended to hit him with the ball to get him to stop being afraid of it?  Maybe it was a mistake?  Maybe the ball is a softer training ball to teach him to be less afraid?  Maybe I painted a rock to look like a baseball?  Maybe she is abusive.  Maybe she isn't but is really dealing with a lot and had a difficult time with assistants who kept fucking up and being nice the first 5x didn't stop them from ruining the moment?   

ASS out of U and ME.
