Katie Porter isn't part of 'The Squad.' But the freshman House Democrat is stirring up trouble for

She's carving out a Warren-esque role for herself that's included asking top officials do basic math under oath.

Her targets so far have included major Wall Street players like JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon, Equifax CEO Mark Begor and now-former Wells Fargo CEO Tim Sloan.

"I remember saying to Elizabeth Warren -- she called me a couple weeks after I got here -- and talking to her and saying, 'I don't feel like I've found my voice,'" Porter told CNN in an interview this week in her Capitol Hill office. "And then a couple weeks after that she called me after Tim Sloan testified and retired and she was like, 'You so found your voice!' She was so happy."

.....

It was March when Porter grilled Sloan -- who was already facing calls from Warren and others to step down -- at a House Financial Services Committee hearing about Wells Fargo's numerous scandals over fake accounts, inappropriate mortgage fees, and charging borrowers for auto insurance they didn't need.

till he was very well done, with maybe a trace of char.

Thanks for your post about her. One of the things Warren does well is translate complicated issues into
plain English, as does AOC and Porter. Makes it much easier for all voters to understand the issues.
