Kyrsten Lea Sinema (born July 12, 1976) is a Democrat senator from the state of Arizona and a former member of the U.S. House of Representatives. She has taken conservative populist stances on multiple important issues, including opposing a Leftist attempt to override state voting rules through a Dem proposal to bypass the Senate filibuster,^[2] and voting against a Leftist provision to include a federal minimum wage hike to $15/hr within a COVID-19 relief package in 2021^[3] using a dramatic "thumbs-down"^[4] to imitate John McCain's vote in 2017 against repealing and replacing Obamacare.^[5] She received praise from some conservatives,^[6] but predictable leftist outrage.^[7] She very narrowly defeated her opponent in the general congressional election (AZ 9th district) in November 2012 (on which she later won reelection),^[8] and when she won her seat in the U.S. Senate in 2018.^[9]

Since 2021, Sinema along with Joe Manchin, have been best known for being the two Democrat senators who have voted to keep the U.S. Senate's filibuster intact despite several threats from their own party.^[10]

In 2003 Sinema summoned Code Pink and a coven of witches called Pagan Cluster to an anti-war rally.^[11] Sinema said at the time she didn't care if an American joined the Taliban.^[12] When questioned whether she regretted her original comments at an interview in 2018, she refused to answer directly, and instead made excuses.^[13]

In 2010, Sinema called her home state Arizona “the meth lab of democracy”.^[14]

In an interview in 2006, Sinema referred to stay-at-home women who are "leeching off their husbands or boyfriends, and just cashing the checks [as] some sort of feminism."^[15]

In Oct 2021, as far left ^[16] were following and obsessively harassing Sinema in bathroom, CNN was actually 'for' it. CNN's Kirsten Powers seemed endorsing it.^[17] And CNN's contributor Ana Navarro, suggested Kyrsten Sinema deserved being harassed in bathroom.^[18]
