Sen. Dianne Feinstein, the 89-year-old California Democrat who on Wednesday arrived in the Capitol after a near-three-month absence due to illness, reportedly confused one black man with another.
Feinstein in 2021 approached Sen. Tim Scott, a Republican who has represented South Carolina in the Senate since 2013, "stuck out her hand, and told him she had been rooting for him and was so happy to have him serving with her in the Senate," according to a new book that Politico excerpted on Thursday. Scott and his staffers knew that "Feinstein had mistaken the South Carolinian for Raphael Warnock, the newly elected Democratic senator from Georgia," and "played along."

Try #2.
I remember when, years ago, one of the things the black guys used to complain about was
"You White folks think we all look the same."
Well, it look like they were correct, ay least in the case of Crazy Old Dianne.

They all look alike.
Seriously, though, it is significantly more difficult for members of one race to identify by face members of another racial group. This is a scientifically proven fact. I had a modest number of black colleagues for decades at work. A few were difficult for me to tell apart at times. The biggest problem was a couple of young black women, who were most quickly identified by their hair styles by me, since their faces seemed very similar. Voices also easily distinguish them. On more than one occasion I have been embarrassed when a colleague who I got along with very well (nice young lady) had radically changed her hair style and I didn't say "Hi" as we passed in the hall. She called out to me, and, embarrassed, I had to admit that with the sudden hair style change, I hadn't recognized her in passing.
These were not people that I worked with often, more like once in three months or so.
Still - interracial identification solely by face is not easy.
All that said - I have always despised this fanatically anti-gun witch.

The Zombies could have been singing about DiFi when they recorded "She's Not There." She's been mentally if not physically gone for the last two Senate terms, at least. And yes, she's one of the worst hoplophobes in the Senate. Wants to disarm the population. Loves criminals--especially Democrat criminals--and hates guns. There's quite a difference between Scott and Warnock. Quite a difference. Please don't bother trying to find her. She's not there.

We are the laughing stock of the world with these old, dysfunctional politicians way past their prime!

What #4 said. It is very difficult to tell members of a different group apart unless you know them very well. For me it is beards. One guy with a beard looks pretty much like every other guy with a beard. The way to beat that is to have a unique characteristic, like always wearing a big belt buckle or hat. Give people something to notice besides the obvious characteristic.

Mentally, she is indistinguishable from the current occupant of the White House.

They all look alike, right? s/o My mother suffered from Alzheimer's and we use to do this. Sometimes it is just easier to "play the game" than it is to try and straighten out the situation. Besides, she'll forget she even had the conversation once Tim was out of sight.

There's an old story that Dave Robinson, the Hall-of-Fame defensive lineman for Lombardi's Green Bay Packers tells about black players in those early days in Green Bay. Now, Green Bay in the late 50s and early 60s were as white as rice, with a few Indians tossed in. There were, at the time, 9 black players on the Packers. One of the other black players comes up to Dave and says, well, the folks here in Green Bay seem to be polite to me, but one thing bothers me. They keep calling me Dave and my name isn't Dave. Robinson says, listen, there are 9 of us and two of us are named Dave. They figure that if they call us Dave, they have a better chance of being correct."

To Senator Feinstein, on her confusing colleagues
Old Di Fi, Congressional shrike
Said it’s not so much that I dislike
But it’s just that you see
To the chosen like me
Them schwartzes they all look alike

In racial fairness to Feinstein, she could just as easily have talked to a coat rack in error. She should retire and play with the grandkids, or cats, or something other than our lives.

Congress has become a senior care facility for most. Bet the interns are asked to change the diapers and to help them change if they mess up.

It's gruesome watching the most evil woman in Washington DC rotting before our eyes. Such is Democrat depravity that they will sink to any level to install totalitarianism.

I recall being in court when the testimony of an Asian witnessed admitted that she could not identify the suspect because “white people all look alike.” When the mostly white jury laughed she did as well, but no one doubted her sincerity.

Well at least unlike FJB DiFi didn't have an entire conversation with an invisible person.
