Kyrsten Sinema’s political curveball frustrates Biden, Democrats

Liberal activists got exactly what they wished for following Sen. Kyrsten Sinema’s recent announcement she is ditching the Democratic Party to fly her independent flag.

The 46-year-old dropped the bombshell roughly a year after activists chased her into a bathroom stall and bird dogged her at a wedding she officiated — prompting the mother of the bride to plead with the small, but vocal group of protestors not to spoil the ceremony.

Ms. Sinema made it clear she is sick of that sort of tribalism.

“Registering as an independent and showing up to work with the title of independent is a reflection of who I have always been, and it is a reflection of who Arizona is,” she said in a video.
