Sen. Kyrsten Sinema Stands And Applauds Tax Cuts Amid Sitting Democrats
The Federalist ^ | 2/4/2020 | Chrissy clark

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona broke from her Democratic colleagues by giving a standing ovation for “opportunity zones” during President Trump’s State of the Union address Tuesday. While the majority of Democrats sat as Trump commended Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., for his work on opportunity zones, Sinema stood and applauded her colleague.

Opportunity zones were created in tandem with the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. They provide tax advantages for certain investments in lower income areas.

“Jobs and investments are pouring into nine thousand previously neglected neighborhoods, thanks to opportunity zones. A plan spearheaded by Senator Tim Scott as part of our great Republican tax cuts,” Trump said as Sinema stood to clap.

Sinema was surrounded by Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand of New York and Kamala Harris of California. Both women ran failed 2020 presidential campaigns and refused to stand for the success of opportunity zones.

Democrats lack of applause for successful legislation and programs implemented by the Trump administration was not limited to opportunity zones. They also refused to clap for record unemployment for black Americans, Asian Americans, Hispanic Americans, women, military veterans, disabled people and young people.

Democrats refuse to clap for record low unemployment, record low poverty levels.

Absolutely pathetic. #SOTU pic.twitter.com/J7R96OQMb5

The real question is, what successful program will the Democrats clap for? The answer is, of course, none.

Somebody needs to Photoshop her as Seven of Nine. An attractive blonde in blue that has not been fully assumed by the Borg.

In a vacuum you’re happy to see bipartisan applause for stuff everyone should be happy about. Better than not doing it.

But it’s totally calculated for her. Politicians usually are, but still.

I happened to see a facebook photo/meme/post yesterday afternoon, that claimed she was voting to acquit. It sure looked like it last night.

If she doesn’t watch it she’ll get the Tulsi Gabbard treatment from the DNC.

I saw even Nadler giving a standing O last night. Schiff didn’t look too happy about it.

What, no white dress? Single term for her!

There were moments where a smattering who seemed to be on the Dem side applauded or rose, even some in white dresses, and I’m not limiting this two the couple of obvious instances.

Most often, it was males towards the back of that side of the aisle. Not a lot, but some...

Also, she failed to wear the hideous Coup Klutz Clan white.

She still would have voted to Impeach Trump.
Her strategy is to keep the AZ Senate seat for the Dems and calm AZ voters so they can capture the other Senate seat.

At first I thought someone had let a hooker in when I first saw her.

Compared to all those hard-wired, fugly wimmens in white, I thought she looked refreshingly nice.

Opportunity zones violate equal protection.

Good start though, just extend them everywhere.

Sinema was quite enthusiastic on this issue. Might she and Tim Scott be an item? I see they are both unmarried.

“I saw even Nadler giving a standing O last night”

He probably had to pass gas or rearrange some of his medical devices.

I’m not sure what decade that dress is from, but the color looks good on her.

I was pleasantly surprised by her last night!! Wearing blue and applauding while her Democrat counterparts sat stone-faced and cult-like in their white garments!! Maybe she’s not the kook that I thought that she was. Hopefully, instead of this being a tactic, she has a mind of her own and is not a full blown sheep!!

No....she IS a kook and a dim sheep. She is attractive, but has that crazy look.
