Lying Hypocrite Senator Dianne Feinstein Defends Reid Even Though She Had Condemned Lott

Senator Feinstein defended Reid after his racially insenstive remarks by saying that "I saw no Democrats jumping out there and condemning Senator Lott" when he made comments praising Senator Strom Thurmond's 1948 run for president at Thurmond's 100th birthday. First of all, as Feinstein was alive and in the U.S. Senate at the time Lott made his birthday party remark, it is obvious that she is lying. The only alternative is that her lack of memory capabilities makes her unfit to serve in the Senate, but it is clear that what she is attempting to do is rewrite the narrative so that the double standard disappears. Feinstein's ridiculous comments are in fact more proof that the double standard exists, or else there would be no reason to attempt to cover it up. Mrs. Feinstein was in fact herself "out there condemning Senator Lott."

As the Washington Times reports, "several Democrats — including Mrs. Feinstein — did in fact target Mr. Lott after his remarks. 'This statement casts a dark shadow over Sen. Lott's ability to be a credible party leader,' she said in 2002, according to an Inland Valley Daily Bulletin news story. 'I can tell you if a Democratic leader said such a thing, they would not be allowed to keep their position,' Sen. Mary Landrieu, Louisiana Democrat, said of Mr. Lott in 2002. Sen. John Kerry also called on Mr. Lott to resign, saying 'I simply do not believe the country can today afford to have someone who has made these statements again and again be the leader of the United States Senate,' according to a Boston Globe article." Now these are the same people, along with Al Sharpton and the NAACP, defending Senator Reid.

The bottom line is that a double standard has never been more clearly exposed. Tweet
