BREAKING NEWS – Washington, D.C. – Claire McCaskill, a former Senator and colleague of Sen. Dianne Feinstein, now 90 years old, said that Feinstein was doing “real damage to her legacy” by continuing to stay in power, even as reports reveal that she no longer has power of attorney.
“This is doing some real damage to her legacy which is extraordinary as a United States senator,” McCaskill said of Feinstein on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe”.
McCaskill recalled watching late Sen. Robert Byrd become a “kind of caricature of what he formerly was,” with his staff eventually having to hold “his hand up” for votes in Congress due to his advanced age.
Feinstein’s staff says she’s intellectually and mentally doing ok, but they refuse to say why she recently stated that she wants to fight for better veteran’s benefits for retired soldiers from the Civil and Revolutionary Wars.
