Senate Foe Swings At Steve Garvey In Debate And Hits One-Liner Out Of The Park
HuffPost
Rep. Katie Porter had an All-Star zinger to skewer the Republican LA Dodgers great who's vying for the U.S. Senate in California.
Rep. Katie Porter (D-Calif.) slammed baseball great Steve Garvey for evading a question about Donald Trump during their Senate debate in California this week. (Watch the video below.)
Garvey, a former MVP and World Series winner with the Los Angeles Dodgers, was the lone Republican onstage against Democratic Reps. Adam Schiff, Barbara Lee and Porter. All hope to succeed the late Dianne Feinstein to represent the state. Garvey is a longshot. The GOP has not won a U.S. Senate election in California in decades, The Associated Press noted.
According to HuffPost, Garvey defended voting for Trump in the 2016 and 2020 elections during the debate Monday in Los Angeles but was pressed to declare who he’d vote for this time in an expected rematch between Trump and President Joe Biden.
Garvey didn’t really answer, saying he’d clear up matters “when the time comes,” SFGate reported.
Porter pounced on Garvey’s evasiveness the way the ex-player attacked hanging curveballs.
