Even now, having returned to the Senate, there are reports of memory loss as she continues her recovery.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) was the first member of Congress to call for Feinstein\u2019s resignation and recently doubled down on his call after Feinstein\u2019s return to the Senate.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s sad for anyone to see,\u201d Khanna said on MSNBC.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr2_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p>Feinstein has been a trailblazer in the Senate and California politics throughout the past few decades. She was the first female mayor of San Francisco and was one of the first two women elected to the Senate from California. She also played a key role in passing a 10-year assault weapons ban in 1994 and led the drive to expose the CIA\u2019s use of torture after 9\/11.<\/p>\n<p>Clinton defended Feinstein\u2019s legacy in the interview with Time and stressed she was recently reelected by the voters of California.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet me say a word about my friend and longtime colleague Dianne Feinstein,\u201d Clinton told Time. \u201cFirst of all, she has suffered greatly from the bout of shingles and encephalitis that she endured. Here is the dilemma for her: She got reelected, the people of California voted for her again, not very long ago. That was the voters\u2019 decision to vote for her, and she has been a remarkable and very effective leader.\u201d<\/p>\n<aside class=\"ad-unit ad-unit--mr3_ab\"><\/aside>\n<p><em>Updated at 2:16 p.m.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Copyright 2023 Nexstar <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/social-mediaa\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"1\" title=\"Social Media\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Media<\/a> Inc.
