California Sen. Dianne Feinstein bizarrely blamed her state’s crippling tax burden on President Trump this week; saying his administration’s “tax cuts for the wealthy” were based on the backs of “middle-class families.”
“Nearly a million California households will pay more this #TaxDay thanks to President Trump’s tax cuts for the wealthy. Middle-class families are being forced to pay more so the rich and large corporations get a tax cut they don’t need,” posted Feinstein on social media.

Feinstein’s comments come as the state government considers a series of new taxes on millions of residents; including fees on drinking water, pain medications, attorneys, gas, and more.
FEINSTEIN’S FAVORITE: Sen. Dianne Feinstein Backs JOE BIDEN for 2020 Election
Sen. Dianne Feinstein unveiled her preferred pick to run against Donald Trump for the White House in 2020 Thursday; telling reporters she wants Joe Biden to win the Democratic Party’s nomination and run for office.
Feinstein was speaking with Politico when she was asked if she had a favorite heading into a prolonged primary season with upwards of 30 or 40 potential candidates vying for the DNC’s nomination.
“Joe was chairman of the Judiciary [Committee] when he came to this place. I’ve watched him as vice president, I’ve seen him operate, I’ve seen him perform,” Feinstein said. “He brings a level of experience and seniority which I think is really important.”
Former Vice President Biden leads the field in most recent polling; beating Sen. Bernie Sanders and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton by large margins.

FEINSTEIN’S NEXT FIGHT: The Senator Slams Trump’s Plan to ‘STACK THE COURT’
Sen. Dianne Feinstein settled on her next fight against the Trump administration Thursday night; slamming the White House for planning to “stack” the 9th Circuit Court without “consulting” her office.
Feinstein unloaded on the Trump administration hours after the Senate Judiciary Committee unveiled their plan to confirm upwards of 40 judges ahead of the 2018 midterm elections.
“The decision to move forward on 9th Circuit nominees without consultation or responding to my acceptance of the White House’s offer reflects President Trump’s desire to stack the court. I expect my blue slips to be honored as I was acting in good faith,” posted the liberal leader.
