As expected, the matter has reached another stage.

Katie Porter’s email to donors included the phrase “F*** Trump” four times, a day after the latest assassination attempt on President Trump’s life. The email was sent without mention of the attempt. Porter’s campaign has previously been scrutinized for her behavior. Republican National Committee spokesman Nick Poche criticized Porter’s email, saying it shows she’s not fit to be governor. The controversy has raised questions about Porter’s fitness to run the state.

The sequence of events feels familiar: a controversial statement, followed by criticism, and then a debate about fitness for office.
