Far-left Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) lashed out at her fellow Democrat colleague, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, blasting her lack of attendance and demanding the 89-year-old lawmaker resign.
She wrote on the Twitter alternative Bluesky that Feinstein must “retire,” saying, “I think criticisms of that stance as ‘anti-feminist’ are a farce.”
“Her refusal to either retire or show up is causing great harm to the judiciary – precisely where repro rights are getting stripped. That failure means now in this precious window Dems can only pass GOP- approved nominees,” wrote the New York socialist Democrat.
“The Squad member joins other leading progressives with her stance. Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) was the first Democratic lawmaker to call for Feinstein to step down, followed closely by the more moderate Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn.). Fellow Squad member Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) joined the calls last week,” The Hill reported.
Despite Feinstein telling Senate Democrat leadership to place a Democrat on the Judiciary Committee in her absence, that has not yet happened, leading to 10-10 tie votes on Joe Biden’s judicial nominees — a win for Republicans who want to block the most radical judges he has nominated to the Court.
Currently, three congressional Democrat U.S. Reps. Katie Hobbs, Brenda Lee, and Adam Schiff have announced campaigns for the U.S. Senate seat, of which Feinstein has said she will not run for another term.
Feinstein currently has been away from the Capitol for two months recovering from shingles. But AOC and others appear not to care about her ailments, demanding she resign. Similar calls were not made of U.S. Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA), who was gone for extended periods from the Capitol after being hospitalized at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C.
