Ro Khanna Furious After Dems Lose Anti-Pollution Vote Due to Feinstein’s Absence

Sen. Dianne Feinstein's prolonged absence caused Democrats to lose a party-line vote on a bill seeking to reduce pollution. '“We are putting decorum over democracy.'

Rep. Ro Khanna minced no words on Twitter Thursday when he reiterated his call for Sen. Dianne Feinstein to step down after her prolonged absence caused Democrats to lose a party-line vote on a bill seeking to reduce pollution.

“Because Senator Feinstein was absent, the Senate overturned a Biden rule that would cut pollution from heavy duty trucks and causes harm to people’s lungs,”“We are putting decorum over democracy and our values. It’s time for Senator Feinstein to step down gracefully.” President Joe Biden has promised to veto the bill in question but Khanna has repeatedly complained that Feinstein’s absence had been holding up judicial nominations and other crucial aspects of Biden’s legislative agenda.
