Feinstein Claims She 'Felt Patronized' by Cruz's Constitution Lecture
Pot, kettle
Thursday afternoon on CNN, Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) discussed the fiery debate with colleague Ted Cruz (R-TX) over gun control legislation that occurred earlier this morning during a Senate committee hearing. Feinstein told Wolf Blitzer she "felt patronized" by the "arrogant" junior senator and had to take some time to cool off afterward.
Asked by Blitzer to explain what happened, Feinstein said, "Well, I just felt patronized. I felt he was somewhat arrogant about it." She elaborated on how her personal experience with gun violence shaped her reaction to Cruz's objections to stricter gun measures and impromptu lesson on the Bill of Rights. "When you come from where I've come from and what you've seen, when you found a dead body and put your finger in bullet holes, you really realize the impact of weapons."

"put your finger in bullet holes"
I call bullshit
Well, I guess Cruz succeeded then. He was patronizing, and DiFi is an imbecile.
And nobody should feel patronized for being told what kind of guns they should be able to own. Really.
Milk, Milk,
Lemonade,
Around the corner,
A hole in his head is made.
I can't speak for any other sentient creatures, but the first thing I do when I see the corpse of a victim of gun violence is to start poking my dirty little fingers into the bullet holes into his or her body.
Creepy, disingenuous vermin, thy name is DiFi.
Diane just used the "he don't know cause he ain't been IN THE SHIT like I have"?
The Diane that has no problem inferring that veterans are probably a bit nuts because of their experiences.
Wonder wherever the fuck she came up with that. . .
