Dianne Feinstein: “I think during a military operation, an attack on the President, on the very policy that is determining that operation…”

On the recordSeptember 18, 1996
I think during a military operation, an attack on the President, on the very policy that is determining that operation is, frankly, ill-advised, I think it is highly partisan, I think it could put American and other lives at risk, and, frankly, I think it is just plain tacky. So I want to say that. I would be hopeful that during a time of some national emergency--and I think this operation does qualify--we can come together as Republicans and as Democrats to support the Commander in Chief of the United States of America, who happens to be the President, whether that President is Democratic or whether that President is Republican.
