Los Angeles Times reporter Benjamin Oreskes tells CNN This Morning about Sen. Dianne Feinstein's (D-CA) response to being asked about her almost three-month absence. #CNN #News
Reporter asks senator about 3-month absence. Hear her surprising response
I’m sorry, she needs to retire. She looks remarkably different. She’s so frail. If that were my mother, I would beg her to step down. This is very sad.
She doesn’t remember ever being on the job .
@sxybasturd she doesn’t remember her three months off
Sounds like biden. Wonder if she shakes hands when no one is there?
She must be removed.
for the good of the country, she really does need to step away and resign. she’s done a great job, but the duties of a US Senator require her to step aside at this point.
Yes!! She needs to set aside her ego, and resign!!
She needs to resign. She can’t do the job anymore
Resigning is a vital responsibility of being a senator, I would argue the most vital. If you cannot perform to the level required, you have an obligation to retire.
Clown boi
“charitable interpretation” doesn’t quite grasp the amount of charity needed for that statement.
*OMG….With all due Respect…She is not representing anything at this state!!!*
I’m from California and I want a new senator.
me too. a lot newer
These are my questions: is she acting or is she really disoriented?
Ask her who is current president and current date; she might say Trump and January 20, 2021.
So we finally going to hard cap the number of years people can serve, along with no more purchase of stocks for officials and spouses and kids?
Old guard politicians: “You can have this political power when you pry it from my cold dead hands”
Won’t be too long it seems.
Except, the Senate is not the Supreme Court, and Senators have to be reelected every six years. The people can always vote them out, but prefer to keep them.
It’s time to live the GOLDEN DAYS with the people who love you, dearie. *At home.*
I think she past the golden years long ago.
The power of *AWM23K* deserves that I get all the likes of you fellas, you’ll figure why once you understood what this all is about
Amazon is doing the right thing with this
So sad how these politicians cling to power. It’s a disgrace, not to mention a squandering of public funds. Go home lady, and let someone vital and engaged to represent us.
Anyone over 70 who wants to be in govt makes me question their motives. Biden, yellen, and feinstein are all out of touch with this generation. Term limits needed
@David I agree with that, as it would also solve the Trump problem.
@Ivan McBleedyor people can just vote for who they want.
Is it that she’s clinging to power? Or is there some deeper, inner wounds that we as a society aren’t or cannot see?
With the struggles being very real I’m happy that *AWM23K* is having its own word against that. Can’t deny that it will mark the next generations to come. No spam bro just honesty
Right now this is all over the world lol, huge move by Amazon to put that up
For sure, the move to digital marketplace makes sense and everyone knew it was going to happen one day or another. CNN where you at, making a report of the actual breaking news huh?
BREAKING JUST IN: Amazon releasing AMZ token and digital marketplace for tokens and NFTs
Wtf u talking about
@TyrranicalT-Rad How difficult is it for you to find that word on Youtube to see that thing in action?
WTH. She is so obsessed unto power. This is like trusting my 80 old uncle (who couldn’t remember anything anymore) to make decisions for me.
We really need age limits and strict cognitive testing for all the politicians. Would any one want a doctor or a lawyer operating or defending them in this kind of condition?
Are you trying to get biden fired?
@j c or trump, who’s about the same age
I agree!!! First Biden or Trump shouldn’t serve as a President, and also our senate WTF 89 , 90 that’s to old it’s insane . Yes age limits for senate , justices please
@j c Projection and deflection!! Sorry, MAGAt. Such requirements would have blocked Agolf Twitler from the Oval Office, not Biden. You want to see compilations of Trump both confused AND unable to speak?
Are you a physician trained in testing for levels of cognition? If not, I would refrain from articulating an ill-informed medical diagnosis even if by inference. You can be sued for defamation of character.
This is not about age … this is about ability. She is unwell in a way that’s making her incapable of doing her job. It’s been somewhat noticeable for a quite some time, and obvious during this recent round of health challenges. Someone needs to intervene and start the process of getting a replacement in place.
Its about age if you have no idea about the current generations and the innovations like tech you don’t need to be in office.
Whether she wants to resign, or not! The time has come!!
It’s sad what she’s going through, but she needs to move on and retire
Are you a physician making a diagnosis? If not, I would refrain because discussing an individual’s medical condition can get you a defamation of character law suit.
She only has a few months until she is gone at the end of her term….They vote for it in Nov and she retires in Jan of 24. They could not get a replacement in that fast anyway. There would need to be a new election during the interim and it would probably just be the same Nov vote, but without any dem representation during that time frame.
OMG, she’s 89 years and still a ‘working’ Senator? I feel a new Senator is absolutely needed.
The median age of the U.S. Senate is 65.3 years. We really need to start voting in younger people already. Congress wasn’t meant to be a lifelong job. That said, we also need term limits.
I’m 56 and there is no waaaaayyyyy she feels that good. She’s older than that lady in the clapper video. 😂
Chuck Grassley is also 89, btw.
@Dr. G He is also too old. Get a hobby, get retired. Why do people keep voting them in?
@Debra Yates Welch 😅
Enough is enough. That she hasn’t resigned exemplifies the problem with politicians: they, on average, care far more for their own personal interests than they do about what we the public deserve. We deserve competent, principled representatives, not what’s-best-for-me-is-all-that-matters politicians.
While I have sympathy for Dianne Feinstein I can not help but think it is a disservice to those she represented and stops the necessary process to place judges in position.
This is so sad. It reminds me of when my dad was in a care facility, and when I would go visit him he told me all about what he’d been doing, going to work, seeing people, etc. I don’t doubt that she believes that she’s been working the last three months.
This is so sad and frustrating. Age is an assumed form of intelligence. Send her home and look after her. Save her from herself.
This situation reminds me of my grandmother when told she couldn’t drive anymore. My grandma had a fit but she was a danger behind the wheel. I believe should be term limits on all government positions.
