AOC Calls for Democrat Sen. Dianne Feinstein to Retire

 Democrat Representative of New York Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has just called for Senator Dianne Feinstein of California to retire.

Feinstein who is currently 89 years old has been away from the Capitol for months after she was hospitalized with shingles back in March.

AOC wrote in a post on the new social media app Blue Sky that Feinstein’s “refusal to either retire or show up is causing great harm to the judiciary – precisely where repro rights are getting stripped.”

The lawmaker from New York continued “That failure means now in this precious window Dems can only pass GOP- approved nominees.”

 

AOC is not the only Democrat lawmaker calling for Feinstein to retire.

Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif) and Rep. Dean Phillips (D-Minn) have both called for Feinstein to resign from office due to not showing up to work.

In total Feinstein has missed 62 votes this year out of 80 votes.
