Former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) was heavily criticized for her support of maintaining the Senate filibuster. She understood that the majority of the day can (and often does) become the minority of tomorrow.
Fast forward to March 2025: Republicans control both chambers
of Congress, and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer decided not to filibuster
the GOP continuing resolution (CR) that would fund the US government through September
of this year. Instead he voted to pass the bill, preventing a government shut
down.
There are plenty of members of the Democrat Party that are
FURIOUS with Sen. Schumer, and have threatened him with a primary challenge when
he is up for re-election., one of them being Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez
(D-N.Y.).
Sinema decided to call out the hypocrisy of some of her former colleagues on the left who conveniently changed their political stance regarding the filibuster:
Removing the filibuster is a crazy action of child-like politicians that are angry that they are not getting their way. Democrats should be PRAISING Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin for preserving the filibuster in the US Senate.
