It was called \u201cImagine if a Republican had\u2026\u201d and you could fill in anything at the end.<\/p>\n<p>So let\u2019s play it once again.

Dianne Feinstein (D-CA). At one point, she had missed 70% of the Senate\u2019s votes with a case of shingles, and when she returned, she was in a wheelchair and declared she\u2019d never been gone at all.<\/p>\n<h3>A Bold Stance<\/h3>\n<p>One Democrat, though, is taking a bold stance to call for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/dangling-by-a-thread-democrats-are-worried-elderly-senators-could-derail-bidens-agenda-by-dying\/\" title=\"\u2018Dangling By A Thread\u2019: Democrats Are Worried Elderly Senators Could Derail Biden\u2019s Agenda By Dying\">elderly senator<\/a> to step aside \u2014 and it happens to be a California Democrat.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have a lot of respect for Senator Feinstein and I am wishing her the best in her return and recovery,\u201d Rep. Ro Khanna wrote in an email to SFGATE. \u201cThat being said, I stand by my call for her to resign.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>After Feinstein returned last week, Khanna told POLITICO, \u201cI stand by what I said at the time, because three months is a long time to be absent without any clarity,\u201d though added, \u201cBut given where we are, I\u2019m hopeful. I\u2019m giving the situation the benefit of the doubt and hopeful that she\u2019ll be able to fulfill her duty, that\u2019s what I care about.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>Feinstein&#8217;s Confusion<\/h3>\n<p>Over the last couple of years, there have been more and more stories about how Feinstein is often confused.
