Former Senator Kyrsten Sinema is exposing Democratic hypocrisy on the funding bill.
For years, Democrats have railed against the filibuster, arguing that it undermines democracy by allowing “obstructionists” to block legislation. Sinema herself has been a frequent target of criticism for defending it, particularly from Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. However, during Friday’s vote on the Republican funding bill, only 10 Democrats crossed the aisle to break the filibuster—something Sinema wasted no time pointing out on X (formerly Twitter).
Sinema didn’t just make claims—she backed them up with receipts, embarrassing many Senate Democrats in the process.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez attempted to call out Sinema, but a member of the media quickly fact-checked her claims.
Her tweets quickly caught the eye of some in the mainstream media
As Axios noted, Sinema—along with former Sen. Joe Manchin—resisted Democratic efforts in 2022 to abolish the filibuster to pass gun control, voting rights, and abortion laws, despite the party holding only 50 Senate seats.
Both Sinema and Manchin were elected as Democrats but later left the party while still serving in the Senate.
Sinema’s takedown of Democratic hypocrisy, amplified by the mainstream media, has only further weakened their efforts to counter Trump’s administration. As Democrats struggle to present a unified front, their shifting positions and internal divisions are becoming more apparent.
