Kyrsten Sinema censured by Arizona Democratic Party executive board over filibuster vote

Members of the Arizona Democratic Party executive committee passed Saturday a resolution to censure Sen. Kyrsten Sinema over her vote to keep the filibuster.

The closed-door vote Saturday morning came after an avalanche of anger from liberals who characterize Sinema, D-Ariz., as an obstructionist who helped doom Democrats’ chances at passing voting-rights legislation.

The censure has no practical effect but does deliver a strong message of condemnation and reflects the will of the party's most active and loyal members.

It means quite a bit for future candidacy roles. 634-5789 Jan 2022 #2

because if she does she loses her power to create chaos..Mitch would never allow her to take center stage...right now the Cruella DeVille garbed Sinema is Mitch's show pony but when her shtick gets stale he'll shut her down...Sinema is too self-absorbed to allow that to happen...the censure means her political career is over regardless of some sort of late-in-the game cognitive awareness and public groveling..
