WFB: Washington Free Beacon senior writer Elizabeth Harrington told Fox News on Thursday that Senator-elect Kyrsten Sinema’s (D., Ariz.) decision to support Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D., N.Y.) despite campaign assertions she’d do the opposite illustrates a recurring issue among Democrats of running moderate and then falling into line with the progressives in Congress.
“It was a very fast reversal, exactly one day and you are already breaking promises,” Harrington said of Sinema.
Back in June, Sinema told Politico that she would not support Schumer’s bid to continue as minority leader. “I am not going to vote for him,” she said.
Politico wrote that Sinema’s opposition to Schumer was “just one example of how the three-term House member is carving out a center-left Senate campaign in the Republican state, hoping it’s enough to inoculate herself from the national party’s baggage.”
Despite this assertion during the campaign, Sinema did not oppose Schumer’s bid to continue as minority leader.
Sinema defended her vote, saying “Had there been a challenger for minority leader, I would have considered new leadership and a fresh perspective.” more here
Wouldn’t be a Democrap if she didn’t lie, cheat, steal, back stab, etc.
I am woman. Hear me fold.
What idiots really believed her in the first place?
This is only going to get better with the old school Democrats versus the newly elected Socialist progs. The Dems will fight to keep control of committees, the progs will howl and whine they’re being excluded. Chaos will ensue, they won’t get a damn thing done. Enjoy the clusterf*ck.
I’ll make some popcorn…
Harrington forgot to say she’s “shocked. SHOCKED!”
Wouldn’t it funny (and ironic) if Sinema was actually a conservative dressed in republican clothing? A DINO. Jeff Flake in reverse. Maybe she just pretended to be a Progressive to get voted in in order to expose voter fraud.
Hey, they’ve done this shit to us for the past 50 years, maybe we finally learned to lie back for a change.
Must be something in the water out there in Arizona that makes politicians lie, cheat, and steal … and for dumb-asses to vote for em.
What? Is Sinema an anagram for McCain? Or amnesia?
izlamo delenda est …
@Tim, I was thinking “enema”.
we have had enough smegma from Arizona. It comes as no surprise that she mislead her constituents. What took her so long? Az needs a good strong conservative candidate next round, and only one.
Problem is, her “constituents” will have forgotten her lack of integrity in this, and no doubt other issues, by the time she needs to fake-grovel for their vote again.
Hey, she got elected didn’t she?
I bet she made him a sandwich and brought him a beer, too.
A group of constituents needs to sue her for fraud, bait and switch, denial of due process. If Acosta has a property right to be in the WH pressroom, then AZ voters have a similar right to the behavior of their representatives.
It’s because of those damn Russians….from the DNC!
I surely did not vote for the Airhead.
Ducey should appoint McSalley to finish out McStain’s term.
Let her show the idiot what a Senator should behave like
…I wish she would just disappear if I wished for it hard enough.
The very thought of the damage she could do to my state is blood curdling…
