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.

she will stand and applaud whatever gets her reelected. she plays to both sides and it’s not a good thing. she is hurting her state.
I stand corrected.
for thise all commenting on her blue dress, when i watched replay on c-span on my computer because i missed it live, it looked purple not blue to me. I thought she picked purple on purpose since she likes to play middle of the road. one day she will realize it’s not a good place to play.
Sometimes I almost think she is really a Republican. Could that really be the case? No, I must be dreaming. I guess time will tell. 8>)
The seditious, anti-American DIMs further exposed both their severe TDS and their disdain for Free America and Free American Citizens. What a bunch of hate-filled, petulant losers. They are malignancies who must be crushed. I spit on them.
Swings both ways as a matter of principle apprently:
It’s not my line. Saw it posted here in FR.
Wonder where she scores on the Crazy/Hot Matrix
This one, can stand up all she wants, but when it comes to a VOTE, she’s all Dim.
I was hoping for something positive from her at the “vote for witnesses” fiasco.
She ran on agreeing with Trump more often than any other democrat in the House. She repeatedly boasted of voting with him. But on judges.....not a chance.
It IS political, but I think a vote to acquit Trump would keep her as Arizona’s senator for a long, long time. That isn’t good news for conservatives, though!
I was gettng a kick out her (not too big as l was sitting with the wife). She appapluded multilple times and every time she did you could tell that horrible woman from CA wanted to slap her.
“At first I thought someone had let a hooker in when I first saw her.”
Lol, She always wears strange off the wall stuff. This was actually kind of conservative for her.
Who wears a flamenco dress to a SOTU? Sen. Sinema is one of those women you keep asking yourself “is she really that stupid or is she actually smarter than you are and just playing dumb?” I think I see her road to re-election as a McCain Democrat.
“Sometimes I almost think she is really a Republican. Could that really be the case? No, I must be dreaming. I guess time will tell. 8>)”
I’m starting to think she leans libertarian. She has supported several conservative issues that libertarians would have supported but the left would not have.
How do you know he was standing? He’d be a perfect VP candidate if Bloomberg ever got the nomination. One of the few politicians that “look up” to Mini-Mike.
Do not be fooled by Sinema. She is a leftist!
She is ambitious and clever as a snake.
She wanted attention, the easiest way to do that as a Dem is to stand up and clap as NO Dems will ever do that.
She sat and scowled when President Trump was talking about the border and ICE removing illegal aliens.
She is not on the side of the citizens and the rule of law, just like Micro Rubio and Flimsey Grahamnesty.
Well her her two guilty votes makes our thoughts nothing more than the dreams I suspected they were. 8>)
Fact... Trust me, we are on that here in Az. :)
