Aconsortium of political advocacy groups are pushing for an investigation into allegations that Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ) has had staffers running her personal errands and performing sundry household tasks on the taxpayer dime.
As first reported in December by The Daily Beast, Sinema aides are bound by a 37-page memo that lays out a very specific set of demands: the senator’s groceries are to be picked up promptly, her hour-long massages are to be booked weekly, and her internet service at home in D.C. must always be in working order. (If not, an assistant “should call Verizon to schedule a repair” so a staff member can be there to let a technician into her apartment, according to the memo.)
Now, 13 progressive nonprofits—including, among others, the Arizona Democracy Resource Center, Sunrise Movement Tempe, Patriotic Millionaires, and Vets Forward—have filed a formal complaint with the Senate Ethics Committee over Sinema’s alleged behavior.
The accusations “paint a picture of a Senator who is not only unresponsive to her constituents, but also disrespectful and even abusive to her employees and wholly unconcerned about her obligations under the law,” they wrote in a three-page letter dated Feb. 2.
“Most troubling,” the letter alleges, Sinema, who recently switched from the Democratic Party to govern as an Independent, “calls on staff members, who are employed and paid by the public and explicitly barred from campaign activity, to schedule and facilitate political fundraisers and meetings with campaign donors, presumably during the workday while they are on the clock and physically on federal property.”

Whatever.
Just Stop the Cheat!
And we’ll be just fine!
I did not “forget!”
I hate it that Senator Sinema is in the Senate! She is a disgrace.
The “We the People” I am speaking of is US!
They work for US!
Well, except for the Democrats and RINOs!
I get your point.
I was just saying, but for 9 or 10 R’s, there are Zero R or D senators interested in the American people, with or without any one senator, like Sinama, since the Senate does not care 2 cents.
Then it is up to us to ensure we have honest, fair elections, and that the people who are, literally, AT WAR with us are held to account!
Will NOT be an easy task, but it can and MUST be done!
