House Democrat Katie Porter is not to be messed with. She’s smarter than you, savvier than you, and she’ll get the bet of you – especially if you try to BS her during a congressional hearing.

An oil executive learned that the hard way today when he tried to play hostile witness, and Katie Porter promptly took him to school:

A Big Oil exec told me I had a "misconception" about a special tax break polluters get that other businesses don't.

So, after explaining the deduction to him, I offered to write it out of the tax code if that what he wants. Just let me know! pic.twitter.com/ML25PMnrg5
