(Tea Party PAC) – When most folks think about the idea of “cognitive decline,” the first thing that pops into the mind is usually Joe Biden, a man darn near 80 who has been making an astounding number of verbal blunders, wandering aimlessly away from Secret Service protection and many other such incidents ever since he came out publicly and announced his intentions to run for president back during the 2020 presidential race.

And it’s only gotten worse for him ever since.

And then there’s Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, who is already in her 80s, who also has a pretty extensive history of giving blank stares and losing her train of thought, along with sometimes just completely stopping her attempt to form a complete sentence.

Well, it seems there’s a third individual, also in her 80s and a Democrat, who is joining the club with Biden and Pelosi, facing accusations of a serious cognitive decline.

What’s more shocking is the accusations of said decline are coming from her Democratic colleagues.

According to WND, the folks at the San Francisco Chronicle stated bluntly that, “Colleagues worry Dianne Feinstein is now mentally unfit to serve, citing recent interactions.”

The report went on to say it was based on comments from one state lawmaker, four federal lawmakers, and three former staffers.

They stated that the report confirmed, “they are concerned California Sen. Dianne Feinstein … can no longer fulfill her job duties without her staff doing much of the work.”

Some lawmakers are actually reporting that, “they had to reintroduce themselves to Feinstein multiple times during an interaction that lasted several hours.”

That does indeed sound like some pretty heavy duty cognitive decline.

“And instead of addressing policy, the 88-year-old Feinstein repeated small-talk questions, without any ‘apparent recognition the two had already had a similar conversation,'” the WND report stated.

The Chronicle wrote, “The episode was so unnerving that the lawmaker — who spoke to The Chronicle on condition they not be identified because of the sensitivity of the topic — began raising concerns with colleagues to see if some kind of intervention to persuade Feinstein to retire was possible.”

Feinstein’s current term is supposed to go all the way through the end of 2024.

The report then quoted one concerned colleague anonymously. The individual went on to say, “I have worked with her for a long time and long enough to know what she was like just a few years ago: always in command, always in charge, on top of the details, basically couldn’t resist a conversation where she was driving some bill or some idea. All of that is gone. She was an intellectual and political force not that long ago, and that’s why my encounter with her was so jarring. Because there was just no trace of that.”

The report went on to explain that multiple U.S. senators “including three Democrats,” have now confirmed that Feinstein’s memory is “rapidly deteriorating.” They also confirmed that her staff must do “much of the work” required to represent her state.

“It’s bad, and it’s getting worse,” one Democratic senator said to the Chronicle.

The Chronicle explained that all of its sources wanted to remain anonymous because of their relationship to the senator, whose husband, financier Richard Blum, recently passed away.

The report then revealed that Feinstein turned down an offer to be interviewed.

“Others, speaking in support of her, did agree to go on the record, the report said. One was Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine, who ‘volunteered that after a recent snowstorm caused a traffic backup that resulted in him being stuck in his car for 27 hours commuting to D.C., Feinstein handwrote him a letter expressing how sorry she was for what he had experienced,'” WND said.

Pelosi gave a comment to the Chronicle stating she has not noticed a decline in Feinstein’s memory. Of course she’ll say that. If she says otherwise she could lose a potential ally and friend, not to mention put herself in the crosshairs for also experiencing some decline.

According to Pelosi, Feinstein is a “workhorse for the people of California.”

The report from the Chronicle then explains the concerns saying, “Adding urgency to the recent concerns: If Democrats retain control of the Senate next year, Feinstein will succeed retiring Vermont Sen. Patrick Leahy as the Senate’s president pro tem — putting her third in line for the presidency. Feinstein has filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission that would allow her to run in 2024, a formality that lets her keep her fundraising accounts active, though she has not yet declared whether she intends to run.”

Back in 2020, the New Yorker reported that Feinstein was “seriously struggling” with memory loss. The Chronicle then noted that she very rarely interacts with the public. She also rarely does interviews with the media.

“Feinstein has not had a town hall since 2017, according to the congressional tracker LegiStorm, and has not held any local events this year. Her office said she has attended numerous public events since that town hall, however, and attributed her lack of events in 2022 to her husband’s passing and the pandemic,” the report revealed.

A poll published recently shows that only 30 percent of people in California “somewhat” or “strongly” approve of the work she’s doing.

The report then issued a warning, “Wednesday, two senators who have served with Feinstein for years said they believe she does not always fully recognize them. They said they get the sense that Feinstein realizes she knows them but isn’t able to quickly recall their name or home state.”

United Kingdom publication, the Daily Mail recently reported that there has actually been some talk around Washington about potentially persuading her to step down before the end of her term in 2024.
