Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema's past ties to far-left groups are resurfacing as she campaigns to win Arizona's Senate race against her Republican opponent, Rep. Martha McSally. Sinema is running on her Congressional record as a hawk on military spending and defense, proclaiming in an ad she would do "whatever it takes" to keep America safe and boasting that she fought for "billions for military spending."
But the Democratic congresswoman also has an extensive past as a progressive activist. Her events and associations in opposing the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan -- and her early years as a Democratic lawmaker in Arizona -- frequently brought her into contact with the left-wing fringe, a KFile review finds.
Sinema, with her nearly 14-year legislative history, six as a state representative, one as a state senator, and almost six years as a member of Congress wants to run on her record in the House of Representatives. But Republican groups and her opponent have sought to make her judgment an issue, highlighting her liberal activism and anti-war work in ads.

First time I can remember CNN using the word "fringe" to describe anyone on the left, even in the most oblique terms.
I'm not a McSally fan but we need 100% Freeper turnout in AZ to keep Sinema out of the senate. She'll be a worse proponent of the howling loons than Harris.
But they can’t stop people from thinking: Kurst? Sin? Hmmm.
My ballot just arrived in the mail today and I am voting McSally! Straight Republican ticket and please everyone, vote Clint Bolick for AZ Supreme Court.
Thanks for the AZ supreme court pick.
Donated to Dr. Ward in the primary, voting mcsally in the general. Sine a is a commie who must be stopped
Disgusting that this trash could be so close to a seat in the U.S. Senate.
It’s nasty as the teacher’s unions don’t care for Clint:
That girl is cross eyed.
I think there are some democrats that believe the liberal center still exists. The hard core right wants our laws followed and our government smaller. The hard core left wants everybody to depend on the government and to let the police, prisons, and borders disappear. I think there is little left of the old left.
I have never, EVER seen CNN refer to anyone or any group as "far-left" before
Yep - her motto seems to be, “I want to fully fund our baby-killer military, and I fully support Americans who want to fight for the terrorists...vote for me”
