Kyrsten Sinema hands out turkeys for Thanksgiving to families in Phoenix

[TexasTowelie]

U.S. Sen.-elect Kyrsten Sinema spent the morning before Thanksgiving handing out turkeys to families in Phoenix.

Sinema, an Arizona Democrat who earlier this month defeated Republican candidate Martha McSally in a mud-slinging race that saw outside groups pour in millions of dollars for TV ads, handed out turkeys to a steady stream of people at Desert Mission Food Bank.

"This is one of my favorite places to come and every time our team has an opportunity to give back to our community, I find myself drawn to the Sunnyslope community," Sinema said during a news conference before the event.

Around 23 years ago, Sinema was a social worker at Sunnyslope Elementary School, just down the road from Desert Mission. She helped launch a program with Desert Mission that allowed children to take food home on the weekends so they would have enough food to make it to the next Monday, she said.

1. Yes. This is not a publicity stunt.

She was devoted to that community 18 years ago when I worked with her on a campaign.

2. I wonder how many

Republicans or MAGAts worked in food pantries or served holiday meals to the needy? Anyone know of one?
