Clinton remembers Feinstein: ‘We could have used Dianne’s voice in the fights ahead’
The Hill ^ | 10/02/2023 | SARAH FORTINSKY

Former Secretary of State and New York Sen. Hillary Clinton (D) on Monday penned a tribute to her late colleague, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), describing her as a champion of democracy who was “brave, honorable, honest and unafraid to do what was right for her constituents and her country.”

In an opinion piece in The Washington Post, Clinton recalled arriving in Washington as first lady in 1993, when Feinstein first arrived to the Senate. Clinton said when she heard Feinstein use her first floor speech to advocate for the Family and Medical Leave Act, “I knew I had found a kindred spirit.”

“When I joined Dianne in the small sisterhood of Senate women eight years later, I gained an appreciation for her blend of principle and pragmatism. In an institution known for show horses, she was a workhorse. Perhaps because she had been a mayor, she believed in delivering results not rhetoric — and that’s what she did,” Clinton wrote.

She’ll always be remembered for her defense of BJ Clinton: While his actions were reprehensible, they did not rise to the level of impeachment.
