The video, originating from 2021, has gained substantial traction on social media. In the clip, Porter is seen on a Zoom call prior to an interview, visibly annoyed as she addresses her staff about the bright studio lighting. “I need the lights off, the bright lights,” she states, requesting her staff member Bernard to adjust the lighting.
As she turns back to the Zoom call, Porter acknowledges viewers by saying, “Hang on one second, everybody!” Her demeanor shifts once the lights are turned off entirely. “OK, everybody, I’m … not that dark,” she remarks while appearing uneasy in her surroundings.

One video captures her aggressively confronting a reporter during an interview, showcasing her frustration. The second, obtained by Politico, features her reprimanding a staff member who accidentally entered the shot during a discussion with Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm about energy and climate issues.
