On Wednesday, Senator Dianne Feinstein had a difficult time during a hearing.
Her poor performance was interrupted by her staffer and further compounded when she was instructed to just say “aye” by Democratic Senator Patty Murray.
Social media users were quick to criticize the 90-year old senator for what they saw as “puppet”-like behavior.
Ryan Fournier, founder of Students for Trump, said that someone needs to do something about it.

Senator Dianne Feinstein has been representing California in the Senate for nearly 31 years and is currently the oldest member of Congress.
Despite this long career in politics, it appears that her recent performance at the hearing raised some doubts among citizens who saw it as unacceptable behavior from an experienced politician.
In addition to the criticism she received on social media, there are other issues surfacing around Sen. Feinstein’s life recently.
She is currently suing her late husband’s estate claiming that she has not been reimbursed yet for ‘significant’ medical bills accrued throughout her lifetime.
The trustees responsible for managing the estate have expressed surprise over this filing since they claim they have never denied any disbursement requested by Sen. Feinstein before now – including those related to medical expenses incurred by her.
Steven P Braccini, an attorney working with the trustees said: “My clients are perplexed by this filing…We have not been presented with any evidence showing that Katherine Feinstein has power of attorney for her mother…Nor has Katherine made it clear…why a sitting United States senator would require someone else to have power of attorney over her.”

It looks like Sen. Dianne Feinstein will be facing more scrutiny in coming days due to both her age and recent actions taken related to medical expenses from late husband’s estate, as well as the poor performance seen at Wednesday’s hearing which drew criticism from social media users across partisan lines.
