Statement from President Joe Biden on the Passing of Senator Dianne Feinstein | The White House

Senator Dianne Feinstein was a pioneering American. A true trailblazer. And for Jill and me, a cherished friend. In San Francisco, she showed enormous poise and courage in the wake of tragedy, and became a powerful voice for American values. Serving in the Senate together for more than 15 years, I had a front row…

The White House
“I know how we always refer to each other as ‘my friend from’ whatever state it is. Honestly, frequently that’s not true. But Elaine and I were actual friends of Dick and Dianne. Elaine served on a corporate board with Dick for a number of years. When they were in town together we would frequently have dinner together.” - Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell

McConnell relates a little ditty 'bout Dick and Dianne.

@rgulick
Now that’s funny!😂😂
@w7voa
Whether or not McConnell will allow Feinstein's replacement to be seated on her committees will be the true test of his friendship with her or NOT.

> Whether or not McConnell will allow Feinstein's replacement to be seated on her committees

Two words: Chuck Grassley (who also sits on the judiciary committee)

@w7voa this is exactly why people celebrated her past while expressing concern about her recent actions during Supreme Court confirmations:

Feinstein hugs and praises Lindsey Graham, sparking an outcry from liberals: ‘Time to retire’

Feinstein said Amy Coney Barrett's Supreme Court confirmation hearing process had been “one of the best" she had participated in.

@w7voa this is why these people shouldnt serve so long.

they are more interested in their pleasant dinner party conversations than they are in serving the interests of their constituents and actually sacrificing something for a better future.

i hope to see the day when the United States ABOLISHES the senate.

@w7voa

Much as I agree with most of her principles, I think she should not have clung to the Senate until her death.
