Senator Dianne Feinstein’s career was filled with firsts, including first woman mayor of San Francisco and one of two of the first women elected to the U.S. Senate from California.
So… how is the Gop weaponizing this?
They will not approve committee assignments for her replacement leaving the judicial committee deadlocked and unable to confirm judges.
They only said they’d do that if she took a leave of absence. The next 4 oldest Senators are Grassley (90) - who’s on Judiciary, Bernie (82), McConnell (81), and Risch (80 - Republican from Idaho); if they start playing the “no committee replacements for dead senators” game it’s likely to come back and bite them in the ass very quickly.
Who wants to bet they’ll do it anyway and see absolutely zero consequences?
Well, just look at this thread.
Men die in office and they are fighters!
A woman dies in office and she’s a bitch.
Fuck off, that shit is old as hell
No democrat hated Feinstein because she was a woman, pretending that’s the only reason just makes you look like your completely ignorant of American politics.
Couldn’t be any more obvious to me the double standard on female politicians.
