Sen. Sinema's censure by Arizona Democrats sends a message that her behavior is worse than disappointing — it's unacceptable

It was a symbolic gesture in that Sinema will receive no penalty other than public shame. But the gesture was far from hollow. In fact, it’s a revealing signal of Democrats’ intensifying commitment to making the country more democratic — one that will hopefully continue to deepen.

There is a certain kind of symmetry between Arizona Democrats censuring Sinema and Wyoming Republicans censuring a rebel lawmaker from their own state: Rep. Liz Cheney.for voting to impeach then-President Donald Trump and sharply criticizing his role in inciting the Jan. 6 riot, something the overwhelming number of House Republicans refused to do.

Arizona Democrats are sending the opposite message: They’ve sanctioned Sinema for thwarting the party’s attempts to protect the democratic process. The state party chair, Raquel Terán, said in a statement that Democrats there “decided to formally censure Sen. Sinema as a result of her failure to do whatever it takes to ensure the health of our democracy.” The “whatever it takes” is striking — it suggests urgency, desperation and a need for creativity.

Censures render certain political stances unacceptable, encourage challengers within the party and potentially dampen donor interest. Sinema has recently

She is voting what she thinks is right.

Heaven forbid she does what the People want instead of politicians do. :-/

Same thing should be done to Manchin

Shaming her now? Is that code?

Please note: the censure came from ONLY the democrats in power. NOT by republicans or the people of Arizona.

Hey don't matter how many times you repost the tweet is not going to make any difference

No it means the racists Democrats don't want her to be reasonable.

She’s deplorable

Sinema is pulling chestnuts from the fire.

So Dems don’t like people that speak what’s on their mind. They want sheep

So forget the people right?

Manchin and this ole gal prove one thing. God rests on Sunday and crazy 24/7.

hey why is it unacceptable? Because she doesn't fall in line with everything the Democrats outline? Last I looked, Sinema won her last election by a close majority, so isn't it only fair that she represent all residents of AZ and not just Democrats?

She’s a GREAT American

And her consequences?

Honestly - I don't think she cares enough to be troubled by it. She seems to have made other arrangements.

Isn't it a senator's job to work for the people & NOT to self enrich? This senator gave her constitutes the mild finger as well as the American people.

And she will.get re elected

'worse than disappointing'......shut up DAD!!!!!

LOL.

Love to see people standing up to the tyrannical left.

Well it happened to Liz Cheney too. Again I’ll say we have to move on. Deal with next issue.

msnbc ratings are unacceptable, they should be lower than they actually are

You go girl ! Your actions are very acceptable - thank you !

A Democrat that doesn't hate America. How refreshing

Joe Biden and his administration are illegally distributing illegal immigrants across our country. Joe, what your doing is illegal! You do not get to disobey our laws. Joe, your the most incompetent president that we’ve ever had. Trump improved while you ruin our country!

How was her behavior unacceptable? It's a democracy, which means each and every voice is independent.

donnamellon1 Just wait until she votes against Biden's SOTUS nominee.

AZ is just Quirky!!!
