Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s decision to support keeping the Senate filibuster rule and thus preventing her party from passing a federal election overhaul bill sparked outrage from liberals who are accusing her of being racist.
"I'm not kidding about @kyrstensinema - it's all about race," political consultant Tom Watson tweeted. "If you're wondering what the "Sinema secret" is, that's it. Black people. There's no real mystery here. Plain old bigot. Occam's razor. The mask is off."
Watson added in another tweet that Sinema has chosen the side of "white supremacy" and that’s "what defines her now."
Liberal professor Jeff Jarvis responded to the tweet with the hashtag #SinemaSoWhite.
Former television anchor Keith Olbermann called on Sinema to resign, labeled her a "menace to the continuation of American democracy," and accused her of "undoing" the Civil Rights legacy of the late Congressman John Lewis.
"Krysten Sinema is the co-worker that swears she’s an ally but always finds a way to chuckle when the racist jokes come out," strategist and former Democratic Senate candidate Michael Starr Hopkins tweeted.
U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman called Sinema a "traitor" to the legacy of John Lewis.
Sinema said Thursday that she will not vote to weaken the Senate's 60-vote filibuster threshold, bucking her party leaders and dealing a major blow to Democrat plans on passing a federal election overhaul bill.

I call that a badge of honor.
legacy of Saint John.
I LOVE watching Libs devour their own!
“She’s a poopypants!”
She better than Romney. I hope she changes parties over this.
You’re Racist!, or You’re Hitler! or You’re Fat!
What a Loser screams out when they’re losing.
I call that a badge of honor.
I know that's the way I'd take it. Anybody willing to fling that canard has no understanding of what Lewis became when elected.
As a former government teacher, I believe in the concept of a “loyal opposition”. I believe Manchin and Sinema could be the basis of a new patriotic democrtic party after the communist scum we have now are voted out this fall.
oh come on! it’s racist against blacks then?
That’s what Manchin has long been counting on as a platform for his Prez ambitions. Do you really think there are enough patriotic democrats left in the democrat party for it to happen? I no longer think that!
And when do the rascist jokes come out? Not since about the early 80s, I’d guess. Not where I worked and that was out here in Trump country. I can’t think of a person I know who still tells rascist jokes. We are not rascists, is why.
Insulting someone is such a sure fire way to convince them of your argument.
She’s spicy.
Lol, I think my wife would like one of those rings. 😂
Now she won’t be safe in any public restroom.
So how is the weather on fantasy Island? You could fit the patriotic Dema into a school bus
To steal from Syndrome on “The Incredibles”...
If everyone is racist, no one will be.
She’s a maverick! Just like McCain! Why isn’t big media parading her around and cheering her on???? I’m confused!!!!
Yes, you’re probably right. The present iteration of the democratic party needs to go the way of the Know-Nothing party. But we need a 2 party system in America to function. I honestly don’t trust a lot of republicans. I did have some respect for Truman and Kennedy (not fdr)in the past.
What pray tell does race have to do with politics and the filibuster? Democrats are always trying to throw race into everything to hide their history of racism and segregation.
