(CNN)Sen. Dianne Feinstein warned Wednesday that when the federal government shuts down "people die, accidents happen" and it's hard to assess what the impact will be when "necessary functions cease." The California Democrat made the stark comments in a Capitol Hill hallway interview as she left a caucus lunch where the standoff with Republicans over a government funding bill -- known as a continuing resolution or CR -- was discussed. She was asked whether she thought her party would vote to pass or block a GOP bill to keep the government open ahead of a Friday deadline. "Shutting down the government is a very serious thing. People die, accidents happen. You don't know. Necessary functions can cease," she said. "There is no specific list you can look at and make a judgment: 'Well everything is going to be just fine.' You can't make that judgment. So, I think it's a last resort. And I'm really hopeful we don't get to it."
Feinstein said she had not made her mind up about whether to vote for the measure.

Is there a count down clock we should be watching?
Gee, maybe Katie Steinle would still be alive if we had real immigration enforcement from California Democrats.
I hope she’s one of them.
Somewhere, sometime soon, a person will die. I guarantee it.
See, I told you so!
Better than being killed by “global warming” I guess.
she should tell that to her own party so corey booker can cry
And the financial markets will collapse!
Yea, whatever Diane. Y’all yelp that people will die whenever the Republicans.......
They are the liberal who cried wolf.
OH NOES WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO but wait..I thought we were all supposed to die when President Trump’s tax bill passed..OH NOES NOW WE DIE TWICE
old DiFi is senile, needs to be retired
Nah won’t happen..notice those who walk with the devil never die
Women and children will suffer the most....
She has lots of money.
Get the wheelchair and the cliff video
But of course she will be paid.
So I assume shes going to vote for the continuing resolution.
If she knows that and then votes to shut it down anyway, can we prosecute her for conspiring with other demoncrats to commit mass murder (assuming people do die)?
Dying is life’s final destination. Well, in this realm anyway.
How many people die if the government stays open?
Shut it down.
Then make certain most of it stays shut down!
Devolve nearly all functions of gov back to the states.
Dismantle most of DC.
Fire at least 90% of all federal employees.
Leave only the President, the military, the house and senate and the SCOTUS... dump all the rest.
