Kyrsten Sinema Got Mocked For Posting A Picture Of Her Brunching While Wearing A Ring That Reads...

[tenderfoot]

‘Fuck Off’

Kyrsten Sinema has become one of the least popular Democrats in Congress, not only for so often siding with those on the other side of the aisle but for doing so in sometimes flamboyant fashion. In March, she became persona non grata on social media after footage making a goofy — and, many charged, cartoonishly insensitive — show out of voting down a bill to raise the minimum wage for the first time in 12 years. Now it’s a picture that’s driving people mad.

The Arizona Senator posted it in her Instagram stories, but it found its way to Twitter thanks to a screengrab. It finds Sinema at what looks like a gawdy Sunday brunch, at a table, emphatically sipping from what appears to be a Sangria. Her pink hat matches her pink glasses, but there was another fashion accessory that jumped out at people: a ring that bears the words “F*ck off.”

People had a lot of fun mocking her get-up, but most dwelled on the latter. It was a reminder that Sinema rarely toes the party line, seeing herself as an individual, not someone who could help her fellow Democrats achieve some real goals that could help people, like a substantially raised minimum wage. It was also reminiscent of Melania Trump’s infamous jacket bearing the words “I really don’t care do u?”, which was seen as a big middle finger to her husband’s countless critics (and all the people whose lives he ruined or made difficult).

So when people zoomed in on Sinema’s “f*ck you” ring, it seemed like it was directed towards constituents stuck with a low minimum wage.

5. I thought you were referring to one of her social media accounts

eom

[betsuni]

13. Best one for me: the "How do you do, fellow kids" gif.

[calimary]

30. More like "how old are you?"

[betsuni]

31. Something's definitely ... odd.

Feel like she should be a Netflix series character.

[hlthe2b]

34. That is my impression. She is simply intensely IMMATURE.

[Shrek]

36. "Kyrsten Sinema is Tulsi Gabbard for people who used to steal 4 Non Blondes songs on Limewire"

I'm an old man so I have no idea what that means, but it sounds funny.

[Caliman73]

47. The sad thing is, I understood you.

[ismnotwasm]

48. Pretty sure I stole ""What's Going On" on limewire

But I get do get it and it’s funny.

[sir pball]

58. You're past old, yer positively ancient...

That joke is targeted squarely at the 35-50 cohort!

[TheBlackAdder]

49. When she emulated John McCain and performed that curtsey, she also said, "Fuck You!"

.

We're in a parallel universe:

John McCain famously does the 'thumbs down' to save the Affordable Care Act and common folk.
Kyrsten Sinema emulates McCain's hand gesture to fuck over the common folk.


Even the Slow Clap guy in Not Another Teen Movie would know not to do what she did.



Here's another image that memorialized her action.

[Gaugamela]

2. Not to mention the death's head/butterfly earrings.

Umm, how old is she?

[dalton99a]

6. What she needs is tattoos - nice big ones

And nose jewelry

[Ace Rothstein]

7. She's so cringey.

She also tries way too hard.

[Hugh_Lebowski]

8. Oh give me a freaking break ...

"So when people zoomed in on Sinema’s “f*ck you” ring, it seemed like it was directed towards constituents stuck with a low minimum wage."

Such stupid bullshit.

It's her off-day, who gives a f*** what her ring says or what she's wearing?

She's not on an official visit to refugee camps here.

[tenderfoot]

11. You must be impressed with her $11 minimum wage proposal with Mitt Romney

eom

[Hugh_Lebowski]

14. Not really, no ... But I already said what I think, so I won't repeat it.

I did however happily vote for her, and cheered her victory, first Dem in a long time here.

I would add though that you can't be very liberal representing this state. I think her style is meant to tell us all where her head would be at ... if she could just vote however and have any chance of keeping her job.

We could criticize that I suppose, but she's really not unique in this regard, and it IS 'her job' to represent the whole state.

[AZProgressive]

21. Her approval ratings are lower than Kelly

I know who she is because she represented my district. I voted for her over the Obama and Bill Clinton endorsed candidate in her first Congress primary thinking she would be more liberal but I was dead wrong. She used to be a Green and worked for Nader's 2000 campaign. She was also an anti-Iraq war activist and said things like Bush (SR) and Reagan were the real Osama & Saddam lovers. I saw all the attack ads every election and she was still elected. My district also voted for Greg Stanton & Biden.

[BradAllison]

53. Thank God Mark Kelly has none of these issues.

[cstanleytech]

28. I have honestly not been impressed with most of the minimum wage increase proposals as they do

nothing to address the elephant in the room which is Congress and how it drags its heels on raising it in a timely fashion which is the cause of the more and more people having to struggle to even keep food on the table and a roof over their heads.
What we really need is a real minimum wage solution such as linking it to the federal poverty level as reported by the Census Bureau.
The formula I imagine should go something like this.
Federal poverty level for one person $12,760 + 200% = $38,280 divided by 52 weeks = $736.15 a week divided by 40 hours = $18.40 an hour which then is what the minimum wage is set as.
That way it automatically adjusts as the poverty level adjusts and without Congress arguing over it.

[quakerboy]

20. Who cares what she wears

Lets look at what she does.

[station agent]

23. I did look.

It sucked. She smurfed on the living wage. She embarrassed herself and the party. She should get some rings that say "I'm sorry," or better yet "I resign" and wave that in front of a camera.

[quakerboy]

24. It does seem that way, eh?

I havn't done a deep dive, but the newsworthy things shes done are quite baffelingly bad.

[Celerity]

63. AZ has a Rethug governor, so her resigning would flip the Senate back to the Rethugs.

Best we can do is to gain at least a net plus 2 seats in 2022 (heavy lift, a net plus 3 is about our ceiling, and we may lose both the House and the Senate as we traditionally get slaughtered in first midterms) so we can make her and Manchin redundant. Then primary her in 2024 with another Kelly type of moderate who isn't all contrarian and random like Sinema. Forget primarying Manchin in 2024, he is the only Dem who can win in WV, and his chances are fairly poor then, we barely won in 2018 with that monster Blue Wave at his back.

[hlthe2b]

35. Yes. And so far, what she has done is far worse than what she wears.

I fear she is simply too self-absorbed, insufficiently self-aware, and far too immature to be a US Senator. Maybe she will "grow up," but I am increasingly reminded of a handful of others who "washed out" quite early when they failed the voters who gave them an incredible chance.

[kcr]

40. She could probably get away with the cringe

if she actually did anything.

[quakerboy]

55. anything positive.

I dont care about any "Cringe". Its flat not an issue for me. She could like a power ranger or a rugrat or a charicter from a Highlander show flashback, be a Furry or an unrepentant nudist, whatever. Its all irrelevant, and Id even go so far as to say we need to let go of the drive to force anyone to dress a certain way, so I appreciate people challenging the norms of "acceptable" dress.

Lets look at what they do and not get hung up on the superficial.

[kcr]

64. We're both basically saying the same thing

The reason it's so cringey is she's a horrible legislator.

[smirkymonkey]

10. There is nothing more pathetic than being desperate for attention.

And she clearly is. What a sad, ridiculous woman.

[FlyingPiggy]

12. I don't think that FU was intended for constituents making

I think it was directed towards her critics. I voted for her and am so sorry I did. I will be actively working to primary the shit out of her. She needs to go. Her behavior is childish, tone deaf, and ignorant AF. People are suffering and she’s prancing around like a privileged asshole.

[quakerboy]

25. It seems like her constituents are her critics

The things she is most known for at this point seem to be in stark contrast with the desires of her constituents, as best I can tell.

[FlyingPiggy]

39. My post got cut off. It was supposed to say not meant for her constituents making

Less than < $11/hr

[renate]

27. I'm not a constituent of hers so I don't know her well

But she seems like a weird and desperate narcissist. I’m glad she’s a Democrat because there is no margin for error in the Senate, but the cringe factor is huge with this one.

[vercetti2021]

16. Is she 16?

Jesus this is what happens when you elect a girl and not a grown woman

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

17. I guess my reaction to this is;

what the hell is the Arizona Democratic Party doing having her run for office? How in the hell did she get on the ballot? If the Arizona D party isn't strong/organized then shame on the national level Democratic Party for not knowing this about her and not finding someone more representative of Democratic values and someone who doesn't present as a flamboyant, self centered cartoon...........

[AZProgressive]

19. Schumer picked her

He encouraged others not to run which is ironic since Sinema campaigned on not picking Schumer as Senate party leader.

https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/350164-schumer-tells-sinema-hes-backing-her-in-ariz-senate-race?amp&__twitter_impression=true

I voted for Deedra Abboud in the 2018 Senate Primary but Sinema had more campaign cash and powerful endorsements. Sinema also declined to debate her.

The state party is more liberal than Sinema. Brianna Westbrook the Vice Chair of the Arizona Democratic Party is with DSA for example.

[Dyedinthewoolliberal]

43. Wow. Guess Chuck didn't do his homework either.

This is why Will Rogers said 'I don't belong to any organized political party. I'm a Democrat'

[Hulk]

18. She wants to compete with the green babbit duo of dimwit attention seekers?

Guess we got stuck with one on our team. Hope AZ has a replacement lined up, cause this idiot isn't worth re-electing.

[monkeyman1]

22. don't want to take her home to meet the parents !!!

[littlemissmartypants]

26. It seems that before the election she supported the $15 minimum wage.

Sinema voting no on the minimum wage. #girlboss https://t.co/ybyGcXZ8Vl

[Raine]

29. I would love a ring like that, lots of people deserve a big F🖕 YOU! 😈 nt

[StarfishSaver]

33. Her act is wearing thin

Politics - especially being a US Senator -;is not performance art.

[hatrack]

38. Unless you're a Republican - then it's nothing else

.

[genxlib]

37. There is a fine line

Between quirky and kooky.

She seems to have crossed that line somewhere along the way.

She also seems to think of herself as untouchable such that it doesn’t matter what people think. Which is going to bite all of us in the ass when/if we lose her seat.

[BlueNProud]

51. She's toast. Definite 1 termer.

If she runs again the enthusiasm level will be nil. She'll get smoked.

[Bettie]

41. Lately, she seems like a really

insecure middle school student doing things that scream "LOOK AT ME!".

[bedazzled]

59. cyndi lauper wannbe

sans talent

[Bettie]

60. And 40 years

too late!

[bedazzled]

61. class and dignity

absent. it amazes me. these are allegedly the highest level public servants. well donald ensured there is no degradation too low

[Hotler]

42. Proving you don't have to be male to be a dick. nt

[Autumn]

44. We should be supportive and do a fund raiser to buy her a box of hair dye and enough money

to get her eyebrows waxed.

[dalton99a]

46. She likes her wigs better

[bedazzled]

62. yikes. thinks she is lady gaga

i would be embarrassed to have voted for that

[BlueTsunami2018]

45. Embarrassing fools aren't limited to one party.

What the hell is wrong with this person? Seriously. Gleefully voting against the minimum wage with a cruel mockery worthy of any of the Republican assholes was disgusting. It’s as if she thought she was doing something comparable to McCain’s famous thumbs down moment without recognizing that his was to help people who needed it and hers was the exact opposite.

She seems to be completely tone deaf. People elected Democrats for a reason and it wasn’t so she could grandstand against the very people who put the party in power.

What happened to having at least the illusion of dignity and statesmanship? Wearing a ring like that is something you’d see a rebellious teen do, it’s beneath a Democratic Senator. Someone needs to talk to her.

[BlueNProud]

50. God what a waste of a senate seat in a competitive state. She a one termer.

[BradAllison]

52. Probably tipped her server 10% (n/m)

[crickets]

54. How I miss Bella Abzug.

Now there was a woman who knew how to pull off 'quirky' with brains and real style. Sinema is just embarrassing.

[Hekate]

56. Agh. Tell me again why we've been exclusively focused on Joe Manchin?

smdh

[Politicub]

57. She worries me more than Manchin. I don't have any reason

to believe that Manchin will switch parties or fall prey to the idiotic praise from the GOP. He has a lot of seniority within the Democratic Party, which he would instantly lose if he decided to bolt.

Sinema, on the other hand, acts manic and is unpredictable. She craves attention, as evidenced by eye-rolling social media posts like this one, and her weird curtsy that she used to highlight her opposition to the minimum wage increase. She doesn’t have any equity to speak of in the Democratic Party, either.

Does she have an agenda beyond seeking attention?
