Sen Kyrsten Sinema is about to undergo a censure vote because she has not opposed President Trump 100% of the time. The left is eating it’s own again, and it is entertaining to watch. They are pointing to three votes that they say betrayed her party but not her constituents. They are her votes to confirm Trump’s nominee, David Bernhardt, for secretary of the Interior, her vote to confirm William Barr as U.S. attorney general, and her resistance to joining the effort to reinstate net neutrality. They will be taking the vote, but they are unsure censure will pass.
The Democrat Party is holding a vote to censure Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema because they perceive her moderate stances and voting habits as too friendly towards President Donald Trump.
The liberal senator is by no means a closet Republican, in fact, she has opposed Trump 81 percent of the time — but that is not good enough for her far-left party peers.
Here’s the thing: We really support Kyrsten Sinema, we want her to succeed, we want her to be the best senator in the country,” Dan O’Neal, state coordinator for Progressive Democrats of America, told the Arizona Republic. “But the way she is voting is really disappointing. We want Democrats to vote like Democrats and not Republicans.”
The fact that a moderate Democrat, who opposes the president the vast majority of the time, is being shamed for representing her constituents instead of the far-left establishment speaks to how far the party has gone. President Trump won the state in 2016.
Those leading the effort to censure Sinema point to her votes to confirm Trump’s nominee, David Bernhardt, for secretary of the Interior, her vote to confirm William Barr as U.S. attorney general, and her resistance to joining the effort to reinstate net neutrality.
