Democrats are furious with one of their own because she displayed a glimmer of decency at last weeks confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barratt. And, now they want her out.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer refused to defend Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Dianne Feinstein as consensus grows among Democrats against her leading the wildly influential panel.
Speaking to reporters during a press conference Tuesday, Schumer (D-NY) would not say if he planned to make changes to the committee’s Democratic leadership. He did say, however, that he had a “serious talk” with Feinstein (D-Calif.).
“I had a long and serious talk with Sen. Feinstein. That’s all I’m going to say about it right now,” Schumer told reporters, adding a short “Nope” when asked if he could expand on their conversation.
During last week’s committee hearing on the nomination of Amy Coney Barrett to the Supreme Court, Feinstein, 87, repeatedly infuriated Democrats with her conduct.
At one point during proceedings, the California Democrat asked Barrett to explain her judicial view on the topic of severability. After the judge gave her answer, Feinstein praised Barrett, remarking, “That’s quite a definition. I’m really impressed. Thank you.”
Feinstein also enraged the left with her praise of her Republican counterpart, Judiciary Committee Chairman Lindsey Graham (R-SC), whom she hugged on Thursday while neither wore masks.
Starting to eat their own! Thought this would happen earlier than now.
HAHAHAHAHAHA
