Dianne Feinstein’s memory fading and she may no longer be fit to serve, senators say

U.S. lawmakers are reportedly questioning California Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s capacity to do her job at her age.

Senators and other officials are reportedly concerned that Diane Feinstein, 88, is no longer mentally competent enough to do her job as a lawmaker, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. Feinstein’s critics, however, have declined to speak on the record and asked to have their names withheld.

“I have worked with her for a long time and long enough to know what she was like just a few years ago: always in command, always in charge, on top of the details, basically couldn’t resist a conversation where she was driving some bill or some idea. All of that is gone,” an anonymous lawmaker told the Chronicle.

“She was an intellectual and political force not that long ago, and that’s why my encounter with her was so jarring. Because there was just no trace of that,” the lawmaker allegedly continued.

“It’s bad, and it’s getting worse,” a Democratic senator reportedly told the Chronicle.

Sources speaking to the Chronicle about the issue remained anonymous. – READ MORE
