Feinstein calls 'lock her up' chants a 'technique of division'
The Hill ^ | October 10, 2019 | Jordain Carney

Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) said she was “surprised” that President Trump singled her out during a rally in Iowa but called it part of his “technique of division.”

“It’s part of a technique of division rather than uniting people in this great country,” Feinstein said on Wednesday asked about the “lock her up” chants.

She added that she was “surprised” that Trump “singled me out for a personal letter I received. This wasn’t anything that was covert or classified.”

Feinstein, the top Democrat on the Judiciary Committee, has come under fire by Republicans for her handling of the letter from Christine Blasey Ford, who accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her at a high school party in the early 1980s.

Republicans have criticized Feinstein on two fronts: First, waiting weeks to hand the letter over to the FBI. Feinstein says she was trying to honor Ford’s request for privacy.

And secondly, for the Ford letter being leaked, something both Feinstein has said neither she nor her staff were responsible for.

But Trump ratcheted up the criticism on Tuesday, appearing to encourage his supporters after they began chanting “lock her up” about Feinstein.

"'Did you leak the documents?'" he added, portraying an exaggerated denial from Feinstein.

The crowd broke into chants of "lock her up," prompting laughter from Trump.

"I think they’re talking about Feinstein," Trump said.

But Republican senators have been reluctant to echo Trump’s tactics.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) sidestepped the issue during an interview with the Associated Press on Wednesday, which was streamed live on Facebook.

“The President is responsible for his statements. I’m responsible for mine. It’s not something that I would say,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas), McConnell’s No. 2.

Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.), asked about the chant, initially said “oh, gosh,” before adding that it wasn’t “his style.”

'technique of division'?

Perhaps DiFi should talk to her fellow RAT Mad Maxine about techniques of division.

Any word on what she calls employing a Chinese spy for years?

I would still hope that the Republicans in CA vote to keep her in the Senate, because DeLeon is much younger and even more radical. Just hope somehow Cox becomes governor and gets to appoint Fineswine’s successor when she dies ( which hopefully, will be soon).

Whenever they talk, I think how they are using projection. So in this case Feinstein probably uses some kind of ‘technique of division’ all the time.

So being dishonest and attacking an honest man and his family isn’t divisive? This cretin should investigated for her employing a chinese communist spy as her office director and drive FOR 20 YEARS! What a seditionist and traitor. Lock her up, indeed.

'technique of division'

Yes, imprisonment is a technique of division, and criminals like Feinstein and the Clintons and Obama and Comey and Rosenstein and Brennan and (etc.) very much deserve to be divided from society.

Do not be surprised in Fineswine is not re-elected in November. She is running against a communist/democrat Kevin Deleon. The vast majority of all California Republicans like myself will not vote for either one of them. I have been voting in California for more than 40 years and I have never voted for Fineswine and I never will. I will not vote for U.S. senator. The California commies will come out of the woodwork to vote for Deleon. Bye bye Fineswine!

Let’s make a deal fair and square...

You get locked up, and then we stop saying “lock her up”.

There, we each get something. Ain’t arbitration grande?

Republican calling out a democrat = dividing people

Democrat calling out a republican = uniting people for justice & truth to power

And Hillary lecturing Dems to STOP BEING CIVIL in politics

Considering how Dems handled Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh confirmation it looks like they didn’t need her advice on this.

The Dems need to understand, TRUMP didn’t ask or tell anyone to shout that... He mentioned her name and the crowd went there... Because they know what she and the Democrats did to Kavanaugh was WRONG on every level.....

I don’t know if there is any crime to charge her with, but clearly the Senate should censure her for her NOT turning that document over during initiial discovery as she should have.
