[Source.](https://therightscoop.com/dianne-feinstein-is-way-worse-than-people-thought/) > A reporter with the LA Times wrote about his interaction with Feinstein today: >> Feinstein returned last week after months away from the Senate as she recovered from the shingles virus . Her absence from Washington didn’t derail the confirmation of President Biden’s judicial nominations or the work of federal government, but it did cause angst among Democrats who worried that the slim margins of their majority could make their work difficult or impossible. >> In the short interview after voting, she mentioned a problem with her leg but on the balance of things said she was feeling better. Then another reporter asked about the well wishes she’d received from her Senate colleagues since her return last week. >> “About your return,” the reporter replied. >> “I haven’t been gone,” she said. “You should … I haven’t been gone. I’ve been working.” >> “You’ve been working from home is what you’re saying?” >> **“No, I’ve been here. I’ve been voting. Please, either know or don’t know.”** >> She then breezed by in her wheelchair and didn’t respond to other questions. > She doesn’t even remember that she was gone for months with shingles. That’s really bad.
