Pelosi: if you don't endorse Feinstein (who's unable to recognize long time colleagues & forgets conversations & fundamentals of the job) continuing to stand in the way of Democratic judicial appointments indefinitely, it's obviously because you're sexist.
Meanwhile, 2/3 of the candidates for Feinstein's open Senate seat in 2024 are women - and Pelosi tripped over her own feet to endorse the only man in the race.
🤔
Her claim that declining male Sens aren’t pressured to retire is also false (as she knows). Thurmond, Kennedy & Byrd all got publicly called on during their terms to resign, on the grounds that their physical &/or mental decline made them unable to fully rep constituents.
Their parties had to sacrifice the good of those constituents to keep a majority. We don’t need to.
Pelosi demands needless sacrifice not just by 40 m Californians, but also by all women, whose rights GOP judges are stealing.
