Katie Porter sends profanity-laced fundraising email one day after assassination attempt on Trump
Former Rep. Katie Porter (D-CA) sent a campaign fundraising email with profanity targeting Trump approximately 24 hours after Cole Tomas Allen opened fire at the Washington Hilton during the White House Correspondents' Dinner on Saturday night. The email's subject line and body contained explicit language and solicited donations for her California gubernatorial campaign. Porter had not publicly condemned the shooting at the time the email was sent.
