• Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) appeared to imply that sexism may be playing a role in calls for Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) to resign.
• Pelosi was asked for her opinion on calls by Rep. Ro Khanna (D-CA) for Feinstein to resign, and she questioned why it seemed male senators never get the same criticism to resign when they fall ill.
• “She deserves the respect to get well and be back on duty, and it’s interesting to me. I don’t know what political agendas are at work that are going after Sen. Feinstein in that way. I’ve never seen them go after a man who was sick in the Senate in that way,” the former speaker said Wednesday.
