Sinema maintained that she was in favor of the voting rights legislation but wasThe Arizona Democratic Party Executive Board censured Sinema on Saturday "as a result of her failure to do whatever it takes to ensure the health of our democracy.”

"I want to be clear, the Arizona Democratic Party is a diverse coalition with plenty of room for policy disagreements, however on the matter of the filibuster and the urgency to protect voting rights, we have been crystal clear," a statement from the Arizona Democratic Party reads. "In the choice between an archaic legislative norm and protecting Arizonans' right to vote, we choose the latter, and we always will," the statement reads."During three terms in the U.S. House, and now in the Senate, Kyrsten has always promised Arizonans she would be an independent voice for the state — not for either political party," Sinema’s spokesperson Hannah Hurley told Axios in a statement.

"She’s delivered for Arizonans and has always been honest about where she stands," Hurley said in the statement.

Let’s Go Brandon!!

BernieBro Misogyny Media didn't even interview 1st Woman Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema,who got bipartisan Rescue Plan & Infrastructure Bill passed, flip Arizona Blue 1st time in 30 years, & wrote Washington Post Opinion article 6/21/21 about Filibuster

Recall her!

Stupid. This is what Republicans do. While I’m no fan of hers we should not censure party members that hold different policy positions than the rank and file. Question. What if in response she decides to switch parties? We lose the gavel. So incredibly stupid.

Pressure Shumer to remove S&M from committees as traitors to democracy

Sorry for the Arizonans that voted for Sinema who thought she would advocate for your interests.

Is there a difference between this censure and the Republican Party censure of members voting to impeach Trump?

Classic Democratic Party today - if you aren’t with us we’ll steam roll over you. DemocratsAreADisaster

progressives idea of voting rights is to have a free-for-all with no accountability and no identification at the polls. While they cry 'voter suppression' what they're offering is a bill to legalize cheating in elections; A 'Voters cheating rights bill' -& Crying the opposite 😂

Follow the campaign cash. Pharma millions. Citizens continue to get sick bankrupt and die. Shame

If you can get enough signatures can you take her out of office?

What a bullshit headline.

Listen to Joe, Democrats.

Her staff should resign and work for someone who values democracy over ego.

Moves like this are what make me, an Independent, align my views right of center. Are any Democrats happy right now?

Excellent!! Sinema is a DINO and she loves it.

She doesn’t care, vote her out!

And what does that exactly mean?

I'd say her 8% approval speaks more volumes.

She need to go away.

Finally, it's taking so dang long. Waiting on Manchin s'il vous plait 🙏

Good. 2024 primaries can’t come soon enough.

I mean why should care? She isn’t really a Dem

Yeah…not a fan of that language because it wasn’t doing away with the filibuster inasmuch as it was creating a one-off requirement for issues of fundamental rights…but that’s all the more reason SenatorSinema absurd rationale is bewildering & her savior complex so off-putting

Sinema is worse than Blagojevich. Sold democracy itself for a few hundred thousand dollars.

Those damn muzzles 😷 hard on 69 and older

🤣 in other words it's vote how we tell you to vote and none of that thinking for yourself stuff.....

Today's Dems.... don't dare disagree with them

She deserves it.

Does anyone in AZ's Democratic Party realize that Sen Sinema could single handedly give Republicans majority control of Senate by simply changing her party affiliation?
