House Dem Doubles Down on Call for Feinstein to Resign: ‘She Should Know When It’s Time’

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) is not backing down from his call for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.) to resign.

During an appearance on Fox News on Thursday, Khanna said, “I have a lot of respect for Sen. Feinstein. She’s unable to fulfill her duties. And I don’t know any other job where, if you’re unable to fulfill your duties, you can continue to have the position.”

“So I think she should do the dignified thing. I respect her years of public service. And she should know when it’s time to step aside,” he added.

His call for the California senator to resign comes after Jon Lovett, a former speechwriter for former President Obama, said during an episode of the Pod Save America podcast, “There’s been a lot of reporting about 👤Dianne Feinstein no longer being fit to serve in the Senate representing the biggest state in this country. She is currently out for shingles. That is sad. That is obviously not her fault.”

“But because she is not in the Judiciary Committee, (Sen. Richard) Durbin (D-Ill.) has said that it has made it basically impossible to move a lot of these lower court nominees to the Senate for a vote, which means that 👤Dianne Feinstein, who should not be in the Senate, is now preventing us from being able to confirm judges,” he continued.

He added, “Feinstein should no longer be in the Senate. She has to resign and more people should be calling on her to resign.”
