Allies stand by Katie Porter despite controversial videos sparking political firestorm in California campaign

They doubled down this week in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.

"In this critical moment in our country, we don't need to be polite, go along to get along, establishment politicians that keep getting run over by the opposition-we need strong leaders like Katie Porter that are willing to call it like it is and stand up and fight for everyday Californians," Finn and Griswold said in the Oct. 9 statement.

"Katie Porter is a fighter, she's smart as a whip, and as a single mom, she understands the issues California's working families are facing. She would make a great governor, and I'm proud to support her," Min said in a statement obtained by Fox News Digital.

Fox News Digital reached out to Porter's campaign on Friday, but did not receive a response by the time of publication.
