Senator Dianne Feinstein talks bomb threats during farm tour

UPDATE 10/26/18 5:45 p.m. Senator Dianne Feinstein was in Royal Oaks today and spoke about her experiences with bomb threats.

She was in town to meet with farm workers and tour a mushroom farm.

Senator Feinstein was one of several Democratic figures to get a suspicious package this week.

But she says this is not the first time she’s faced a bomb threat. “I’ve had a bomb placed at my house, so I’ve been there done that a long time ago. It doesn’t, I don’t have any fear,” says Feinstein.

Decades ago a bomb was planted in her San Francisco home and failed to detonate.

Congressman Jimmy Panetta also weighing in, saying he will remain to stay vigilant but still do his job, “it’s not going to deter us from doing our job. It can’t deter us from doing our job. Once we start acting upon that fear, they win and we lose and that’s not going to happen in this democracy.”
