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.

Sinema is a Gen Xer.
You think she cares?
She needs to flip the serious bird to the DNC and defect. She won’t win staying a democrat…and neither will Manchin, so he should leave as well. Just make a deal that both will defect if they get rid of McConnell as leader. He doesn’t want to lead anyways. Win/win/win for the country.
Occams razor : A simple tool wielded by simple minds to derive simple answers.
“Notice how Fox gives them a forum to insult Sinema.”
Fox is still dining out their prior status as a conservative media outlet. They’re not; they haven’t been for a long time. The icing on that cake appeared the night of 11/6/2020. We haven’t watched since then.
Yeah. This is the way to change her mind.
She’ll wear these epithets like badges of honor in purple Arizona all the way to re-election. Stupid, evil demokkkrats.
The hatred of those who question the party line is beyond belief.
They need it ram their BS through because know they aren’t going to be back in the captains chair for a good while.
I guess that makes Schumer a racist because just a few years ago he defended the filibuster.
John Lewis undid his own civil rights legacy when he decided to join the deep state as a full fledged swamp creature.
What really pisses off the commies is that they cant continue to cheat..which is what this bill was really about..CHEATING..they know it, everyone knows it..the ONLY way Dems EVER “win” elections is by cheating
Pffft! They’re just made because they want to date her.
Yeah. John Lewis sold out. I wonder if MLK would had done the same. Or he would tell the race hustlers to "**** ***" and actually continue to build on his civil rights legacy. But we'll never know.
I’ll wait on the FACT CHECK
When "bigotry" is defined as "unwillingness to pay unearned reparations" then yes, Sinema is a bigot - as most of us are :)
Absolutely hilarious considering the democrats used the fillibuster yesterday, to stop the Ted Cruise Nord Stream bill.
Ironically, if a Republican had called for nuking the filibuster under Trump, he would have been called a Racist.
This only strengthens her resolve.
They are idiots - but I digress.
It is their go-to insult. If they can’t win the argument, you’re a racist.
They have worked hard and have honestly stolen the election for her.
Now, they are upset that she is ungrateful.
