Rep. Katie Porter of California last Wednesday blasted Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona for stalling infrastructure talks with President Joe Biden and congressional Democratic leaders, saying the lawmaker should stop being "cute" and offer her concerns with the legislation.
During an appearance on CNN's "Don Lemon Tonight," Porter, the deputy chair of the influential Congressional Progressive Caucus, said that Sinema has so far not been transparent about issues with the proposed $3.5 trillion reconciliation bill that have prevented her from supporting the legislation.(snip)
"I think what we're looking for is people to show character," she said. "I think Senator Manchin expressed concern about the climate provisions, for example, and from all reports is engaging in discussions about what he would support, what his concerns are."
While Sinema has so far not publicly disclosed a price tag that could attract her support for the bill, Manchin in recent weeks has stated that $1.5 trillion would be the most he'd be willing to spend, a significant departure from the $3.5 trillion package, which would provide hefty investments in healthcare, childcare, higher education, and climate initiatives.
Porter, who represents an Orange County-based district and has gained a huge following across country for her frequent usage of whiteboards and rapid-fire grilling of top-level executives, said that Sinema has declined to offer specifics that could aid in the negotiation process.
"All we heard from Senator Sinema today when she was asked, people want to know where you are, progressives in the House, progressives in the Senate, everybody in the House, everybody in the Senate wants to know where you are. Her answer is: 'I'm right here in front of the elevator.' I just want to repeat again, this is not a time to be cute - this is a time to show character."

Rep Porter is never “cute”.
And we're putting them in charge of our country. Somebody needs to check OUR brains out.
What a pig
Saving the Republic from fiscal calamity and accelerating the headlong rush to communism is “cute”? Only in her disgusting fat mind.
I thought leftists heralded mavericks?
Just keep pushin’ her Dems, that’s what women really like and enjoy, being mocked, rebuked and publicly scorned, all of that.
She would never retaliate in kind or by switching parties or becoming an Independent and caucus with the Repubs or anything like that. Women don’t do such things when they are so publicly attacked. Just keep attacking her.
YUp. I almost puked when I saw this blimp.
Extra Zaftig!
That’s a WHOLE LOTTA KOMMIE there - Kommie Katie weighs in...

Why all this talk, of how Sinema is supposed to talk about why she opposes the bill and all that?
Maybe Sinema is so opposed to it, that there is nothing that could be changed or modified in the bill, to gain her support. Maybe she’s disgusted by the whole thing and wants to just vote no and get it over with. Maybe she doesn’t want to negotiate with the likes of Katie Hill to compromise on a S*** sandwich.
Has Sen Sinema been disparaged as a “lipstick lesbian” yet?
sorry meant Katie Porter, not Katie Hill. Katie Hill is the one who resigned from Congress in disgrace.
Wouldn’t that be something like hitting “below the belt” so to speak? I’ve heard the chatter that Sinema is “bi-sexual”.
Tubby should be banned for medical help until she loses the appropriate weight. (liberal rules)
This is not a time to be both fat and unprincipled, either.
If so, that would be admitting there are two genders. And that won't sit well with many in the LGBT* crowd.
