Kyrsten Sinema ignoring Democratic donors who want their money back: sources
2023-03-24
[NYPOST] Sen. Kyrsten Sinema
...Dem Formerly Dem senatrix from Arizona. She began her political career in the Arizona Green Party and rose to prominence for her progressive advocacy, supporting causes such as LGBTQ rights and opposing the war on terror. She left the Green Party to join the Arizona Democratic Party in 2004 and was elected to a seat in the United States House of Representatives in 2012. After her election, she joined the New Democrat Coalition, the Blue Dog Coalition and the bipartisan Problem Solvers Caucus, amassing one of the most conservative voting records in the Democratic caucus. She won the 2018 Senate election to replace the retiring Jeff Flake, defeating Republican nominee Martha McSally. Sinema is the first openly bisexual (meaning she's not particular) and the second openly LGBT woman to be elected to the House of Representatives and to the Senate in 2012 and 2018, respectively. She also was the first woman elected to the Senate from Arizona....
 (I-Ariz.) — who faced backlash after changing her party affiliation to independent from Democrat in December — is still facing blowback from Democratic donors, insiders told On the Money.

While attacks labeling her "the worst kind of hypocrite" from former colleagues in the Arizona legislature have died down, her campaign is still being hounded by angry Democratic donors who want their money back.

According to one source, angry donors were initially told the campaign was working on it — but now they aren’t even getting their calls returned. Neither the senator nor her staff are even bothering to respond anymore, a source added.

Still, Sinema — who almost single-handedly squashed a challenge to the carried interest loophole that taxes private equity and hedge fund profits at a lower rate than other businesses — may be expecting a generous payday from her Wall Street beneficiaries, some Democratic donors are speculating.

#4  She is an enigmatic mix or populism and corporate corruption, who, evidently, is not a fan of jello. I hope she is replaced by a non-McCainiac.
