Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) defended Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s (D-CA) ability to keep serving in the Senate on Sunday amid recent calls from some Democrats for the longtime senator to step down.

Uh, what if she can’t make her own decisions? There might be a secret about her that’s not so secret to a lot of people that she works with.
Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) has an instinct for shitting in the nest.
Gillibrand hasn’t been on the right side of an issue for a very long time. Not surprised she’s on the wrong side of this one.
After the harm she did with Al Franken, I really wish Gillibrand would stfu.
Cripes, I’d go to Jim Comey for practical advice and moral guidance before I’d listen to her.
Once again, Gillibrand gets it wrong … without justification, she led the charge to drive Al Franken from the Senate … and now Gillibrand disingenuously proclaims that “Diane will get better,” which is simply untrue - it has been clear for years that Feinstein’s cognitive impairment is very serious and getting progressively worse.
If I had my choice between Difi or Gillibrand retiring, I’d choose Gillibrand in a second.
Other suggestion:
Schiff can move to NY and challenge her?
Of course she did.
I understand she has shingles. If thats the case I can tell you that it is debilitating but most people, even octogenarians, get over it.
Here’s what I don’t get about Difi: whatever is going on with her, if she won’t resign then why not come to Washington, show up, take the votes? Honestly, even if her people are just wheeling her out and putting her hand on the button? Shingles is painful, but she’ll be in pain wherever she is. I wish her people would just weekend at Bernie’s this if she won’t step down…
Shingles is definitely part of it.
Shingles is not all of it. The bigger concern is the evidence of cognitive decline.
Agree. She was the dope who pushed out Al Franken (D, MN), even while refusing to name the R politician who pinched her butt some years ago.
When a friend had shingles recently, she went on a 10 day course of antibiotics and was given a medicated ointment to apply to the rash. Between appearance of symptoms to diagnosis to treatment was about 3 weeks. I’m not saying that’s always the way, and certainly this may have been a milder case than the Senator’s, but the dermatologist said this was the normal process–~3 weeks. Not 10.
That is what I had thought but I read shingles. Having suffered from shingles I can tell you it isn’t fun and you might have some some temporary congnative decline from the brutal pain. Eventually most people recover. I am sure Porter and Schiff would welcome congnitive decline.
I’ve heard and seen a case with a neighbor’s father that went on for over 8 months and was super debilitating.
Feinstein has something other than shingles going on and she really should resign.
2 1/2 years for me and counting.
So I guess Kirsten is one of the senators who difi still recognizes and remembers her name?
That does not matter to them now that Feinstein has announced she is not running for re-election.
Might matter to whoever thinks they might get appointed to the rest of her term.
I can’t stand Gillibrand after her role in getting rid of Al Franken at the beginning of Trump’s term when most of the accusations had problems. Accusations 1,5, and 8 were proven to be lying about what happened with later accounts contradicting key claims from those accusations. Accusations 4 & 6 were poorly sourced without interviewing crucial eye witnesses. 7&9 were actually related to each other and make no sense in context. And accusations 2 & 3 were inconclusive. I could go into detail about these later.
What pisses me off the most about Gillibrand is her hypocrisy about sexual harassment because one of her female staffers quit after repeated sexual harassment from Gillibrand’s Chief of Staff after Franken was forced out. Gillibrand only fired her Chief of Staff after it became public.
