‘Can you guys please get out of my shot?’: Katie Porter pokes fun at viral staffer video in new ad

The Hill reports that California Democrat Katie Porter has released a new campaign television advertisement that humorously references a viral video from the previous year in which she was recorded telling staffers to 'get out of my f****** shot.' The article is sourced from a major national outlet with a named byline (Brett Stover), and the story is corroborated by multiple outlets including Newsweek and Fox40, confirming both the existence of the original viral video and Porter's decision to self-reference it in her new ad. The reporting is straightforward and factual, though the Hill's article body is not visible in the provided metadata, making it difficult to assess whether the piece includes additional context about Porter's campaign, the original incident, or strategic reasoning behind the advertisement. Watch for broader reaction to the ad from media and political observers, as well as how this reframing strategy affects Porter's positioning ahead of the 2026 California gubernatorial race.
