THE ABSENT-MINDED SENATOR: Feinstein Drops ALARMING Comments, Can't Remember Absence?!

89-year-old California Senator Dianne Feinstein, back on the Hill after a three-month absence due to a bout of shingles, raised eyebrows on Tuesday with comments that suggested she may not be clear on how long she was gone from the Senate.

From The New York Post:

When asked by a reporter Tuesday about the reception she’s received from colleagues upon her return, Feinstein lashed out at the journalist and provided answers indicating that she was seemingly unaware that she had been out.

“No, I haven’t been gone,” Feinstein said. “You should follow the — I haven’t been gone. I’ve been working.”

When asked if she meant that she’d been working from home, the senior senator from California responded, “No, I’ve been here. I’ve been voting. Please. You either know or don’t know.”

Feinstein, who was being maneuvered through the Senate in a wheelchair pushed by a staffer, also told a reporter that she was “feeling fine” but had “a problem with the leg.”

When asked what was wrong with the leg, she said it was “nothing that’s anyone’s concern but mine.”

Unfortunately, Feinstein’s failing health has become a concern for her fellow Democrats, many of whom have insisted that the Golden State Senator step down.

“Her refusal to either retire or show up is causing great harm to the judiciary – precisely where repro rights are getting stripped,” Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted before Feinstein’s return.
