Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s bombshell announcement Friday that she was leaving the Democratic Party to become an Independent sparked a fury among liberals who accused the iconoclastic lawmaker of being a self-serving traitor.
The first-term senator argued in an op-ed published Friday by the Arizona Republic as well as several interviews that she has “never really fit into a box of any political party” — and she vowed not to caucus with Senate Republicans.
Should she keep her promise, Democrats will still retain their narrow voting majority in the closely divided Senate.
In a video explaining her decision, Sinema said: “Registering as an independent and showing up to work with the title of independent is a reflection of who I’ve always been. … Nothing’s going to change for me.”
Sinema’s move sparked an immediate backlash from Democrats, who took to Twitter to express their anger and frustration with the newly-minted Independent.

But will she “caucus” with the Republicans to make the Senate 50-50?
I don’t understand why they’re upset. Like Bernie Sanders, she’s still caucusing with the Democrats.
“self-serving traitor”
That would be John Kerry.
As bad as an ULTRA MEGA MAGA?
Robespierre hated Danton more than he hated Louis XVI.
Welcome to the Gulag of the Despised, Kyrsten “Danton” Sinema.
Ah yes, the demon rats remain true to form, attacking a cvourageous WOMAN for not remaining on the dnc plantation. Now if we can just get Manchin to wake up ...
Make sense for Sienma. She was probably not getting an important committee chair (which = BIG BUCKS). So she is no longer “The Bride of Chuckie.”
Exactly why are they so pissed she is going to vote dem 100 percent of the time anyway so why the fuss
She is more conservative than Romney’s group.
She doesn’t vote 100% of the time with dems.
““Krysten Sinema ran as a Democrat, voted as a Republican, and now switched parties to Independent,” wrote user enrich12. “@SenatorSinema is a traitor. She fooled the people of Arizona.””
This one cracked me up, since John McCain was elected as a Republican and voted as a Democrat.
But this was just fine, eh? But as usual, when the shoe is on the other foot, the left screams.
Don’t forget Hitlery, Pinocchiobama and Brandon.
Wait until Manchin switches or goes independent. He knows he will be clobbered in 2024.
She did this the day after Chuckie’s War on America speech.
She is sending a message
Just a question to our expert freepers here, could she chose not to caucus with either party? If she wants to be a true “independent” that would certainly be a way to show it.
And that fraud King? from Maine? Total Democrat leftist.
In possible fact, it another shuck and jive by Schumer, et. all. to may us unwashed think that thing coming out of the Senate will change.
Old saying that daddy told me. Don't believe a thing you hear and only half of what you see and just maybe you might see a glimmer of truth.
She thinks that caucusing with the Democrats will preserve her chairs in various Committees.
