California Democrat Dianne Feinstein's confrontation with school children protesters over the Green New Deal resurfaced amid the senator's retirement announcement.
later in the day when reporters asked her about her announcement and she said,"Oh, no, I'm not announcing anything. I will one day." A staffer had to remind her about her announcement.
Feinstein – who is the oldest serving senator at age 89 and the longest serving female senator – has had many ups and downs throughout her tenure in the Senate. The senator has been a defender of China for decades, becoming the first U.S. mayor to visit the country while running San Francisco. Feinstein supported granting Most Favored Nation trade status to China in 2000 – a designation that relaxed restrictions and encouraged a surge in U.S.-China economic cooperation.
In February 2009, Feinstein, during her tenure as head of the Senate Intelligence Committee, revealed the Central Intelligence Agency was operating missile-firing drones used on suspected insurgents throughout Pakistan from a secret air base within the country, causing deep embarrassment in Washington and Islamabad.
