Sen. Dianne Feinstein asks to temporarily step aside from the Senate Judiciary Committee amid calls for her resignation from Ro Khanna and others.Pelosi told ABC7 News photojournalist Jackie Sissel on Wednesday that the 89-year-old Senator "deserves the respect to get well and be back on duty."She then suggested sexism could be at play.
"Remember, Senator Ted Kennedy, Senator John McCain being gone for long stretches of time as they dealt with what ended up being terminal illnesses," ABC News Political Director Rick Klein told our sister station in Los Angeles. "And that was a fact of life in the Senate that you just had one less vote on that side and that you didn't have that senator." Feinstein's supporters say that California's longest serving Senator deserves the same respect.
"All of those people raising all those questions should be far more respectful of the more than 40 years of quality service provided to the voters of this state by Dianne Feinstein," Brown added. "Senator Feinstein has been elected. She's been entitled to the job, and believe me when you are elected to something you are expected to serve."
