Fellow Democrats turn on Dianne Feinstein, call for her to resign from Senate: 'dereliction of duty' (temporary replacement?)
Fox News ^ | 4/12/23 | Brandon Gillespie

Democrats are beginning to turn on one of their own as calls for Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., to resign from the Senate are starting to grow from within the party's ranks.

Two House Democrats took to Twitter Wednesday to express their wishes for Feinstein to resign, alluding to concerns over her health and ability to perform her duties as a senator, despite the fact she announced her intention not to run for re-election earlier this year.

"It’s time for [Feinstein] to resign. We need to put the country ahead of personal loyalty," Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., wrote. "While she has had a lifetime of public service, it is obvious she can no longer fulfill her duties. Not speaking out undermines our credibility as elected representatives of the people."

Rep. Dean Phillips, D-Minn., wrote that he agreed with Khanna, and called on others to speak out as well.

"Senator Feinstein is a remarkable American whose contributions to our country are immeasurable. But I believe it’s now a dereliction of duty to remain in the Senate and a dereliction of duty for those who agree to remain quiet," he wrote.

**SNIP**

"I intend to return as soon as possible once my medical team advises that it’s safe for me to travel. In the meantime, I remain committed to the job and will continue to work from home in San Francisco," she said.

"I understand that my absence could delay the important work of the Judiciary Committee, so I’ve asked Leader Schumer to ask the Senate to allow another Democratic senator to temporarily serve until I’m able to resume my committee work," she added.

She should have resigned long ago. Why should American taxpayers pay her and all her perks why she has isolated herself?

It’s amazing how these ancient tyrants cling to power long past their ability to function.

Their own zealots turn on them in the typical, ruthless communist purges we have witnessed on the Left for a hundred years.

There is never a “peaceful transition” among brutal communists because it’s always about raw power and the use of force to subjugate others.

“What have you done for me lately, comrade?”

Right now in America, those in charge are aggressively working to limit the peasants’ use of water and dramatically shrink our circle of movement.

In just the past two years, the USA has become unrecognizable.

I wonder if the Chicoms are involved in her retirement. She may not, mentally, be able to provide as much intel as before.

Years ago she was the Chair of the Senate Intel and other Committees. She was caught providing info for $$$, and directing contract $$$ to herself and her husband. As with all democRATS, she was not forced to resign. She lost the Chair, but she continued on the committee, continued to have access and, no doubt, shared it with our enemies. Without a conscience or a soul, all kinds of evil is possible.

If she can’t do her job, that’s a good thing.

Federman still has not been contacted for comment.

Since the voters of California have no real say in the matter, Feinstein was already going to retire in 2024, Katie Porter and Adam Schiff have already announced they are running to replace her, I could see Gavin Newsom making the decision before 2024 by naming one of those two, probably Adam Schiff to take over the position.

Her absence basically neuters Schumer. They have a year left to do business on judges and legislation and need her vote. She's not coming back any time soon. Any Doctor that values his medical license and knows about her severe Alzheimer's is not going to sign off on her.

She should resign and allow Grewsom to replace her with a real modern woman who has a penis and testicles while behaving like a Disney caricature of a 13 year-old girl.

She does not know whether she is in Sweetwater or Waxahatchie.

Feinstein has become an impediment to the Democrat/Communist Party's agenda.

The Democrat/Communist Party politburo does not tolerate or allow anyone -- anyone -- to interfere with their primary objective to destroy our Republic. She will either voluntarily get out of the way, or she will be dispatched ... one way or another.

It would not be difficult for Dems to find a “doctor”/quack with a license to basically commit malpractice by certifying her as mentally fit, just as they have done with Biden, Fetterman, and did with Leahy.

Here in deep blue Kali it is indeed a good thing that we elect idiot Democrats for senators. They do nothing but make noise. Good thing for the Nation that I don’t think any of them has ever passed a bill in the last 30 years.

It is kind of unusual for members of the House to get involved in Senate business.
