The recent attempt by Senate Democrats to replace Senator Dianne Feinstein on the Judiciary Committee has exposed their hypocrisy and double standards. While they claim to be concerned about her health and ability to perform her duties, they have no problem with keeping bumbling President Joe Biden in office, despite his obvious mental decline and incompetence.
Senator Ted Cruz, a Republican from Texas, revealed the real reason why Democrats are trying to push out Feinstein but not Biden. He said that Democrats are afraid of losing their slim majority in the Senate if Feinstein resigns or dies, and that they are using her as a “sacrificial lamb” to appease their radical base.
Cruz said that Democrats are trying to remove Feinstein because she is not “woke” enough for them. He pointed out that Feinstein has been attacked by the left for being too civil and respectful to Republicans, such as when she hugged Senator Lindsey Graham after the confirmation hearing of Justice Amy Coney Barrett.
Cruz contrasted Feinstein’s treatment with Biden’s, who has been shielded and protected by Democrats and the media, despite his numerous gaffes, lies and blunders. Cruz said that Biden is “profoundly mentally diminished” and that he is not in charge of his own administration.
Democrats are doing everything they can to drive Dianne Feinstein out of the United States Senate.

“Look, the Senate is a body with a crap ton of really old people, like, they’re a bunch of people in their 70s and 80s. I’ve served with a bunch of colleagues who are way past their expiration date,” Cruz said. “It’s striking to me that the only senator I’ve ever seen that a party has tried to drive out because of health is Dianne Feinstein. Listen, John McCain, who I served with for a long time, John McCain was hospitalized and was incapacitated for months. He was the Chairman of the Armed Services Committee. There was no effort throw John McCain out of the Senate, nor should there have been. I would not have supported that. I didn’t support that. It’s really striking.”
“By the way, right now, Joe Biden is profoundly mentally diminished,” Cruz continued. “None of these left-wing radicals calling for throwing Dianne Feinstein out are calling for throwing Joe Biden out. And by the way, to be clear, John Fetterman, the senator from Pennsylvania, has been medically unavailable and absent for most of this Congress. He’s been in the Senate only a few days since he was elected. And none of these radicals who are calling to throw Dianne Feinstein out are calling to throw Fetterman out. And so it raises an obvious question, why the double standard? Why is she the target of their ire?”
