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."

Agree, it’s more of JEALOUSLY. Sorry, fatso, but Krysten WORKS OUT to stay in shape, running marathons and competing in Iron Man events.
Katie looks like she sits on the toilet most of the day.
I remember that former Rep. Katie Hill lol.
“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.”
Scariest line in the entire article. Will Manchin cave?
“Looks a bit ‘robust’ there.”
*******************************
I’d say she looks a bit ‘comorbid’.
Hey Ms. Porter (You are a female...right?), you might want to lay off the cheeseburgers!
As an aside, Porter looks like a cross between Edith Bunker and Bett Midler.
Crazy leftist Grandma wants to put the smack down on one of the two remaining relatively sane Senate Democrats.
Is there anything in the world more disgusting and obnoxious than a fat liberal female?
There ya go. The DSA's bitch in Congress.
Typo: Rep Katie Porter Porker of California.
