Dianne Feinstein Slams Free Speech On 'Face the Nation'

"The big problem here is there are so many destroyers."

On CBS' Face The Nation, Bob Schieffer asked a few questions about the failed Obamacare launch and the President's false "you can keep your healthcare promise." After tap-dancing around the question, Feinstein stated the big problem is the people who opposed Obamacare, whom she described as "destroyers." 

Schieffer began by asking, "The President said in the beginning that the one thing was that if you like the health care program you had you could keep it. We now know there was debate within the administration before he said that as to whether that was actually a promise that could be kept. Should the president not have made that statement?"

That's when Feinstein went off:

Well, as I understand it you can keep it up to the time, I hope this is correct but this is what I’ve been told, up to the time the bill was enacted. Then after that, it's a different story. I think that part of it, if true, was never made clear. It is really very unclear right now exactly what the situation is. And, yes, that's a problem. But I think it has to be said. This is a very large major priority and if it can get up and running, it can be, I think, a very positive thing. The big problem here is there are so many destroyers. In the House, in the public, in the private health care sector that just want to destroy. That's not helpful.
