Link to tweet

It looks like this Tweet was used as a "device" to garner an outpouring of phone calls. It's working but the implications it makes seems to be a bad one.

I apologize for not better sourcing it yesterday when I posted. But please still consider communicating on the issue via Twitter or email since there have been numerous reports of busy signals and no voicemail.

Let me preface my remarks by saying that in ordinary circumstances a president should be able to pick his or her Cabinet. This isn't ordinary times. The only appointee I would have approved is General Mattis.

[Wabbajack_]

18. I was suprised Mattis vote was 99-1 or something

Isn't he a little crazy?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

20. Compared to Bannon and Flynn?

[babylonsister]

30. I live in FL. I wish I had a Feinstein. nt

[brush]

31. Your senators must be really screwed up then. Feinstein is center right, a DINO.

[KittyWampus]

5. Sessions and Betsy and Carson are the three I'd have drawn the line.

Wait, I forgot Mnuchin. That's four.

[brer cat]

6. Price is a disaster.

You should add him too.

[KittyWampus]

11. yeah... then we just get to all of them.

[bullwinkle428]

19. Pudzer and Pruitt are pretty vile, too. Should be plenty of "no" votes there.

[JI7]

36. why CArson ?

i know he has no qualifications but i think the replacement might be some tillerson type that would use the place for his own profiteering.

with carson i think he would just be incompetent .

[Chasstev365]

7. We need to move these status quo Democrats out of the party!

What an unprincipled coward!

[BlueCaliDem]

8. WTF?? What's wrong with that conservative Democrat in a deep blue State?

She needs to be shamed.

[justiceischeap]

10. Apparently *she's* a fragile little snowflake. nt

[DemocratSinceBirth]

21. For real. She has carte blanche to do what she wants.

[BlueCaliDem]

23. I'm calling her office tomorrow to vote against racist Sessions. NO Democrat should even feel

the slightest inclination to vote for that p.o.s.

[BlueCaliDem]

24. I'm also going to fax a letter to her. This upsets me. eom

[bdamomma]

9. What is wrong

with her? Why are confirming him???? I tried to call her office and got busy signal.

[marybourg]

13. Please e-mail her. A poster in a thread I

started today says that she acknowledges e-mails, so somebody's reading, or at least counting.

[bdamomma]

37. Thanks I will

[napi21]

12. I believe there's an unwritten code between all Senators that they will support each other unless

there is a very serious reason not to. Maybe some of the newer ones don't respect that code, but the long term ones do. Dianne & Jeffry Beauregard (sorry, had to type the name, it's soo funny to me) Sessions have worked together for a very long time and she hasn't heard anything he's done recently to change her vote.

[marybourg]

14. I think that's a very good explication

of the situation.

[aikoaiko]

15. Maybe she saw the ad for Session by 45Committee

It is getting decent airtime in GA. I don't know about the rest of the country, but if you were to believe it you would think Sessions was a moderate and good friends with Joe Biden and John Lewis.

I'll look for it.

Here it is:

[madaboutharry]

26. This ad makes me angry.

That is not who he is.

[Bradical79]

34. I saw that on CNN when I was eating lunch

Almost dropped my sandwich. It sucks that it's so well done. One of the better jobs of packaging bullshit that I've seen.

[Thrill]

16. I'm sorry but this is no excuse

For goodness sake, stand up and fight these Republicans for a change

[elehhhhna]

42. Yes, she is a war profiteer and God knows why she even calls herself a Democrat

[truebluegreen]

22. Because of course she is.

What a surprise.

[Cha]

25. Not smart

[still_one]

27. I will call feinstein, my Senator tomorrow, but I hate to break this to you

they are all going to get approved, and it is sickening

[BlueCaliDem]

29. Email her now. I've read that she (or her staff) tally e-mails as well:

[bagelsforbreakfast]

32. wake up call...time to thin the herd...

No more Democrat-Republicans...or we need another party. Enough of this sh*t.

[madaboutharry]

33. I never liked her.

When she started out in politics, in the early years in San Francisco, I think she was very liberal. She became well known after Harvey Milk was murdered. In the years since, she and her husband became very rich. Money changes some people.

[spooky3]

35. is there any chance this is not true? who is Gardner, and who is this unnamed staffer?

[Stellar]

38. So, only her constituents can call? nt

[justiceischeap]

39. Nope, I'd imagine anyone can call. nt

[dalton99a]

40. So she's waiting for people to beg her to do the right thing? WTF.

[justiceischeap]

41. That's how I'm reading it. nt

[BSdetect]

43. Fuck you Feinstein.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

44. Before we All hang a progressive democrat out to dry

Can I ask who daisy gardner is and how she knows this?

Feinsteins twitter page boasts of her opposition to sessions.

[justiceischeap]

45. Fixed it and apologized.

Went down the rabbit hole just now and it's based on a claim from another person on Twitter claiming the above is what someone who answered the phone told her.
