'Trailblazer and a giant': Politicians react to Dianne Feinstein's death
Chuck Schumer
In a speech on the Senate Floor Friday, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., praised Feinstein as “one of the most amazing people who ever graced the Senate, who ever graced the country.”
“She had so many amazing, wonderful qualities wrapped up in one incredible human being," he said. "She was smart, she was strong, she was brave, she was compassionate, but maybe the trait that stood out most of all was her amazing integrity.”
“Her integrity shone like a beacon across the Senate and across the country for all to see and hopefully emulate,” he recalled. “She would take on any force, any special interest, any opponent with relentless integrity and would wear those opponents down until she succeeded. Again, her integrity just shone through them and she won and she won and she won and each time, made the country a better place.”
Sen. Dianne Feinstein was a friend, a hero, a leader who changed the Senate and America for the better
