Sen. Dianne Feinstein took to Twitter following the Senate’s cloture vote on Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination.

But what she tweeted was not what was expected. In fact, it seemed to many that the California Democrat bent on destroying Kavanaugh’s professional career and personal life was not-so-subtly changing the subject.

The rising cost of college textbooks is a big part of student debt. Today, UC Davis received a $4.9 million grant to develop free, open textbooks. It’s great to see UC Davis playing a key role in the effort to make higher education more affordable. — Sen Dianne Feinstein (@SenFeinstein) October 5, 2018

The cloture vote on the Supreme Court nominee Friday advanced Kavanaugh to a final vote by Saturday afternoon. And while most lawmakers voted along party lines, with a final tally of 51-49, Republican Sen Lisa Murkowski voted ‘no’ and Democratic Sen. Joe Manchin joined the GOP Senators in voting ‘yes.’

Feinstein, who revealed the letter by Christine Blasey Ford accusing Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her at a party when the two were in high school, was on the Senate floor ahead of the vote Friday morning still talking about the federal judge.

But hours later, with many of her colleagues issuing statements, tweeting and being interviewed, Feinstein broke her silence with a comment about student textbooks. Perhaps she was thinking about the searing letter Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley fired off to the Ford’s attorneys, demanding they turn over some of the evidence they claimed to have.

He also mentioned Feinstein directly.

A NEW TWIST Just-released Grassley letter to Ford ends on an ominous & mysterious note: “In light of recently uncovered information, please turn over” all communications with Feinstein & Hirono.

This is huge.

May be why GOP began growing a spine.

They have something big on Dems pic.twitter.com/OG2ygafLTY — Benny (@bennyjohnson) October 5, 2018

Twitter users were dumbfounded – and amused.

I see what you did there. I wonder what Sen. Grassley will find in those records he’s getting.

#DueProcess you should be ashamed for weaponizing and politicizing sexual assault with untimely, unverified allegations against an innocent man. — James DaSilva (@dasilvajmusic) October 5, 2018

Well well well, if this isn’t a quick attempt to distract from the current narrative, I can’t imagine what is. Nice try, Di Fi. — BLBurch (@bl_burch) October 5, 2018

Some were brutally honest.

With all due respect Ms Feinstein, nobody cares what you have to say right now. This picture is worth a thousand words! pic.twitter.com/AAT9R7gbal — Wide Awake ❌ (@AtHomeIn5D) October 5, 2018
