Pelosi responds to report questioning Feinstein’s mental fitness to serve

Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi defended Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-California) after reports questioning Feinstein’s mental fitness to serve.

Calling Feinstein “a workhorse for the people of California and a respected leader among her colleagues in the Senate,” Pelosi stated the attacks on her fellow San Francisco Democrat are “unconscionable” and “ridiculous.”

“It is unconscionable that, just weeks after losing her beloved husband of more than four decades and after decades of outstanding leadership to our City and State, she is being subjected to these ridiculous attacks that are beneath the dignity in which she has led and the esteem in which she is held,” Pelosi stated.

Pelosi’s comments come after the San Francisco Chronicle published an exclusive story on April 14. Speaking on the condition of anonymity, lawmakers and former Feinstein staffers claimed the Golden State’s senior senator is in the midst of a mental decline.

Feinstein stated in response that the last year has been difficult considering the death of her husband, Richard Blum, but said she is still delivering for the people of California.

“I’ll put my record up against anyone’s,” Feinstein stated.

Pelosi defended Feinstein, saying “she is constantly traveling between California and the Capitol, working relentlessly to ensure Californians’ needs are met and voices are heard. Her leadership was essential in strengthening and reauthorizing the Violence Against Women Act, which was enacted just last month. As a senior Member of the Judiciary Committee, Senator Feinstein played a leading role in confirming the President’s historic nominee for the Supreme Court, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson, and has been an unsurpassed leader in the fight against gun violence.”

Bay Area Rep. Ro Khanna also responded to a request from KRON4 regarding Sen. Feinstein.

“This type of rumor mongering is disrespectful to Senator Feinstein’s lifetime of public service and, frankly, ageist and cruel at a time when she just lost her husband. I have a more progressive vision than her, but I have found her to be engaged with constituents who have met her recently such as members of the Building Trades. Let’s stick to talking about issues that can improve Californians’ lives,” said Rep. Khanna.

Pelosi began serving in the US House of Representatives in 1987, when Feinstein was mayor of San Francisco. Feinstein has been a US senator from California since 1993. This is not the first time reports have emerged questioning her mental fitness to serve.

Interesting that speculation on her mental acuity began AFTER the KBJ vote was held by the judiciary committee.

Unfortunately for Feinstein, Peloser’s response consisted mostly of barking and bug-eyed drooling.

Odd that Feinstein herself does not appear and make a statement.

Also, how bad off do you have to be to have ditzy Pelosi defending you?!

In other news

Feinstein responds to report questioning Pelosi’s mental fitness to serve,

and Now Breaking News !!!

Pelosi and Feinstein to discuss Biden on the View, “It is truly amazing what he has accomplished in the face of the destruction Trump left behind, especially with the hostile media coverage he has been getting.”

Kamala to appear on the cover of Oui because “We” should all come together and strip for Freedom.

They’re all crazy or psychopaths with bad intentions. How dare these people stay in power all their lives, decade after decade. That is why everywhere you turn it’s corrupt in every direction. I’m pretty confident those who founded this great country did not have this in mind for America.

I’m on Mitch McConnell’s case for taking too long to waddle
off into the sunset.

Feinstein and Pelosi deserve nothing different. He seems
more alert than they are, but he just doesn’t grasp
contemporary political dynamics any longer.

Add Biden in, we’ve got four folks who should be sitting
around worrying about nothing more than when the next
medicine cup will arrive.
