Dianne Feinstein once confused Raphael Warnock with Tim Scott: Book
Fox News
Sen. Dianne Feinstein once confused African American Senators Tim Scott and Raphael Warnock, while in the Senate hallways, according to a new book.
In an excerpt published in Politico, the Washington Post's Ben Terris wrote it was "obvious to Scott and the staffers in tow that Feinstein had mistaken the South Carolinian for Raphael Warnock, the newly elected Democratic senator from Georgia." Both Scott and Warnock are Black; Warnock won a runoff race in 2021 along with Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga. Gabriel Hays is an associate editor for Fox News Digital.
The anecdote comes amidst intense scrutiny over Feinstein’s age and fitness for office, as she recently returned to the Capitol in a wheelchair after being away for three months due to a shingles diagnosis. There have been numerous reports of her suffering cognitive decline in recent months.
