Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Calls for Sen. Dianne Feinstein to Resign<\/h2>\n<p>Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/not-making-headlines-more-information-on-chinas-involvement-in-the-2020-election-steal\/\" title=\"NOT MAKING HEADLINES: More Information on China\u2019s Involvement In the 2020 Election Steal\">making headlines<\/a> again, this time calling for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to resign. And honestly, we can&#8217;t say we disagree with her.<\/p>\n<p>Feinstein has been in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-red-wave-of-conservative-women-elected-to-congress\/\" title=\"The Red Wave of Conservative Women Elected to Congress\">public service<\/a> for a whopping 45 years, and at 89 years old, her health has severely compromised her ability to do her job. She&#8217;s been out with shingles since early March, missing every vote since then, yet still collecting her $174,000 salary to do nothing. <\/p>\n<p>AOC took to the new social media site BlueSky to give Feinstein an ultimatum: resign. &#8220;Her refusal to either retire or show up is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/u-s-threatens-to-impose-more-sanctions-on-ethiopian-leaders-over-conflict-in-tigray-region\/\" title=\"U.S. threatens to impose more sanctions on Ethiopian leaders over conflict in Tigray region\">causing great harm<\/a> to the judiciary \u2013 precisely where repro rights are getting stripped. That failure means now in this precious window Dems can only pass GOP-approved nominees,&#8221; AOC wrote.<\/p>\n<h3>Feinstein&#8217;s Absence is Hurting the Judiciary<\/h3>\n<p>AOC is correct. With Feinstein out for a lengthy time, the Judiciary Committee is evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, giving the GOP a kind of control to kill nominations they don&#8217;t like. Democratic Senate Leader Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) tried to get the Senate to allow another Democratic senator to temporarily serve on the Judiciary Committee, but that effort failed.<\/p>\n<p>Feinstein&#8217;s absence is causing great harm to the judiciary, and it&#8217;s time for her to step down. <\/p>\n<h3>It&#8217;s Not About Sexism<\/h3>\n<p>When calls for Feinstein to resign began getting louder, Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) jumped into the fray to say that it&#8217;s sexist. But that&#8217;s not the case. Calls for Feinstein to step down have nothing to do with sexism. Instead, it has to do with competency. Feinstein simply cannot do the job anymore, and in reality, she should have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/it-was-the-only-way-tennis-legend-reveals-the-decision-he-made-after-having-kids\/\" title=\"\u2018It Was The Only Way\u2019: Tennis Legend Reveals The Decision He Made After Having Kids\">retired years ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>While AOC is only 33 and has been a lawmaker for a little over three years, she&#8217;s right to call for Feinstein&#8217;s resignation. It&#8217;s time for the residents of California to have a senator who can do the job. <\/p>\n<p><em>The views expressed in this piece are the author&#8217;s own and do not necessarily represent those of The Daily Wire.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Joseph Curl has covered politics for 35 years, including 12 years as White House correspondent for a national newspaper.
