Bernie refuses to condemn Sinema bushwacking


Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) refused to sign on to a statement condemning last weekend’s harassment of Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) unless it included language pressuring her to change her stance on the proposed $3.5 trillion social spending bill, Axios reported late Wednesday.

An initial Senate Democratic leadership statement was drafted Tuesday by Jeff Giertz, communications director for Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), in response to a Sunday incident in which pro-immigration activists disrupted a lecture Sinema was giving at Arizona State University, then followed her into a bathroom before haranguing her through a stall door to support the massive legislation.

The incident was videoed and posted to social media, causing widespread controversy.

The third paragraph of the draft statement read: “What happened in that video was a violation of Senator Sinema’s privacy that has no place in our public discourse, and we resolutely condemn it.”
