Katie Porter is a “master manipulator” who embodies everything wrong with politics today, according to her husband of 10 years.
Matthew Hoffman, 50, told The Post the hotheaded liberal contender for California governor is a bad choice to run the deep blue state.
Referring to video clips that exposed Porter’s volatile temper and hostile treatment of staffers and journalists, he said, “It’s about time” they came out.
“The amount of staff she goes through. The horrible things that she says [about others] … those aren’t fabrications,” he warned The Post outside his home in Portland, Oregon.
Hoffman — who shares three children with his ex-wife, from whom he had a bitter split — acknowledged that Porter chafes many in political circles, including Democratic Party bigwigs Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff.
“She can’t even get along with Nancy Pelosi,” Hoffman observed.
He also said it was preposterous for Porter to claim her California Senate primary loss to Schiff last March was because he wanted to “rig” the election.
Porter suffered a crushing defeat, finishing a distant third behind Schiff and Republican Steve Garvey.
“The system’s not rigged, Katie,” warned Hoffman, saying it was all a matter of politics as usual.
However, he was also quick to add that his ex-wife is by no means dumb and is “a master manipulator.”
Hoffman pointed out that leadership is all about finding consensus, but said Porter’s personality means she isn’t the type to listen to differing ideas and find an acceptable political middle ground.
