President Joe Biden. Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
Now Sen. Dianne Feinstein has shown, once again, why people should be concerned about her abilities to serve in the Senate.
Feinstein is 90 years old. She spent a long time away from the Senate this year due to shingles.
A hot mic caught a confused Feinstein during the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee roll call vote.
The senators have to say “aye” to have their votes recorded.
Feinstein, who has been a senator for decades, forgot how to do the simple procedure:
“Just say, ‘Aye,'” Sen. Patty Murray, D-Wash., told Feinstein.”Pardon me,” Feinstein responded.”Aye,” Murray reiterated.Instead of registering her vote, Feinstein launched into remarks in favor of the bill, a process that was slated to come later in the meeting after the roll call is completed.”I would like to support a ‘yes’ vote on this,” Feinstein said. “It provides $823 billion — that’s an increase of $26 billion for the Department of Defense, and it funds priorities submitted—”Feinstein was cut off by a staff member who appeared to tell the senator that the committee was still in the process of calling roll.”Just say, ‘Aye,'” Murray told Feinstein once more.”Okay, just…” Feinstein said as she appeared to remain confused about what was taking place at the time.
Feinstein snapped out of it and immediately said, “Aye.”
