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."

She should know.
Secondly, that sounds kinda sexist.

It’s my recollection that she admitted to that a decade or so ago when she first got into politics.
Katie, you are showing plenty of character-—of the blackest, most traitorous kind. Your comically FAT FAT FAT girth clearly shows your lack of restraint and common sense. You are a turd floating in the cesspool of the Swamp. Shut your fat mouth before someone shuts it for you. Sinema is one of the few showing the slightest iota of common sense and feeling for this country.
RE: This is not a time to be cute....
Maxine: They told me that when I got my seat in Congress. I never once deviated from it. No sir.
“Rep. Katie Porter of California last Wednesday blasted Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona … saying the lawmaker should stop being “cute” and offer her concerns with the legislation…”

Well, Ms Porter, Senator Sinema IS actually concerned with the legislation (in addition to exceeding “cute” by a huge margin) and what it would do to our nation. Unlike many DemocRATS, Senator Sinema actually tries to represent her constituents and will likely be re-elected.
I am sure all over twitter.
The commies are going after Sinema for daring to use her BRAIN and not go along with the commie agenda. Just read that a bunch of commie pricks chased Sinema into a bathroom at ASU..gee, if those same “Activists” wore maga hats the commie left would call that another insurrection
Oh the Huge Manatee!! What a leftist socialist b*tch, and a Fugly one at that. From California, of course.
Did you say Katie Porker???
Someone’s jealous!
“What a pig.”
Don’t talk about Katie Porker like that.

Dang, beat me too it. And I searched the page cause I thought “surely...”.
What if Sen. Sinema is the conservative Manchurian candidate.
They know this trash bill is a bullet to the head of America which is already dying by a 1000 cuts.
It would be nice if we, and some probably already have, got in touch with Ms Sinema for a little encouragement.’
The term would, I think, “überzaftig.”
This is exactly the issue. The current mindset of many in congress is that they are not in office to represent their constituents, but to represent their own ideology. This is one of the reasons that our nation is today so politicized, and the atmosphere so toxic.
The demo progressives are essentially Marxists/Bolsheviks. They recognize no truth but their own (so-called). To safeguard their truth no price is too high for them to inflict on others, including the others’ lives, welfare, and livelihood.
