Need more leaders on both sides like U.S. Sen. Feinstein

I am usually a Christian, constitutional conservative in my political views, but I want to give kudos to the late U.S. Sen. Dianne Feinstein for a dedicated life of service to Americans and the American way of life as a mayor and senator.

She was reasonably thoughtful and did not engage in typical Democrat character assassinations, indoctrination and the distortion of truth to help build a one-party socialist system. She was above all that.

Sadly, California Gov. Gavin Newsome quickly announced (and followed-through) that he wanted to fill Feinstein’s position with a “Black female” rather than the most qualified and experienced person available. More Democrat vote-buying and pandering.

African American females will be so delighted and supportive. And they wonder why they get so little respect.

We need more leaders like Feinstein on both sides.
