Dianne Feinstein . . As her health declined, her staff began to follow her wherever she goes in the Capitol..

"They will not let her leave by herself, but she doesn't even know it," a former staffer said.

Dianne Feinstein's office makes sure a staff member constantly follows the senator around the Capitol out of concern for what she might say to reporters amid her declining health and old age, multiple sources told Rolling Stone.

...

Feinstein returned to the Senate on Wednesday after spending nearly three months away from Washington due to a shingles infection. But her mental acuity has also faced scrutiny in recent years with reports revealing how the 89-year-old senator would at times forget conversations and struggle with her short-term memory.

Shortly before her hospitalization in March, Insider reported how Feinstein seemed confused about how she voted on the Senate floor.

For the past few years, Feinstein's staff felt it necessary to ensure the senator is never alone when she walks around the Capitol,

"They will not let her leave by herself, but she doesn't even know it," Purley said.

Fellow Democratic colleagues, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, have recently called for the longtime senator's immediate resignation.

Sounds to me like the staff know she’s incompetent but will do whatever it takes to protect their jobs.

“They will not let her leave by herself,

That is because she might get lost. Plus she could fall and break a hip.

Seriously, this is elder abuse.

Congress placed term limits on the presidency but not on themselves. After FDR- in the lifetime of people alive today

It is more evidence of brainwashing that we accept this to be normal

Wes ll know if we think about it tgat if a non leftist were campaigning for tge presidency as debilitated as Feinstein or Biden that the media would never let up

But here we are.

Feinstein is the walking embodiment of our entire political class and system: corrupt, sickly, old, feeble, and clinging desperately to power as she continues doing her part to ruin the country for future generations.

Reminds me, of how the Easter Bunny guided Joe Biden to where he was supposed to go, at the Easter event. Some older folks need to be led around.

They sold out everything in return for money and power.
