Sinema rakes in Pharma and finance cash amid reconciliation negotiations

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) raised more campaign money in the last three months than in any quarter since she became a senator. And she hit that $1.1 million haul with a big assist from the pharmaceutical and financial industries, whose political action committees and top executives stuffed her coffers in the middle of negotiations on Democrats’ massive infrastructure and social spending bills.

Sinema has emerged as a key player in those negotiations, with the reconciliation bill needing support from all 50 Democratic senators. But Sinema and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) have made it clear they will not support the original $3.5 trillion price tag for the bill, and Sinema has also objected to including far-reaching prescription drug pricing proposals, certain proposed tax increases, and other party priorities.

As those objections have been registered, Sinema’s Senate campaign has cashed checks from industries facing potential losses or other disruptions. She received $27,800 from PACs of pharmaceutical companies from July through September — up from $5,000 in the three months prior, according to her campaign finance filings.

Sinema’s office did not respond to a request for comment.

1. She is truly an asshole

And only thinks about herself.

Maybe she should start wearing TFG's orange goo on her face.

It would become her, I think.

5. would match this dress she wore to celebrate shredding almost 80% of Biden's new spend in the BIF

[Celerity]

2. Manchin & Sinema are tag-team shattering Biden's agenda (& seriously hurting us for '22/'24)

11. They are truly traitors to our country

3. Clearly, we no longer have a functioning democracy.

Corrupt corporations are in total control, and the rule of law is dead.

4. Your classic sellout.

Hope 'Zona Democrats show her the exit,

[Celerity]

6. Sinema net favourability w/ AZ Dems: (-59) Kelly (+83) She would also be crushed in a 1-on-1 primary

7. Well deserved. What an idiot.

Could have been a hero, but $ proved too much for her character.

8. she's corrupt. vote her out

10. We can't until 2024

And no, she can't be impeached before then, either. Believe me, I checked.

9. I think she considers herself in a no-lose proposition. If she loses next election

she will have cashed in from the lobbyists and if she gets re-elected then it is just gravy. This should be a lesson for all voters - check out the people you vote for, it really does matter.

12. Sinema is the Democratic Alberto Gonzalez

Politically, she's dead in the water. She's achieved high office but is too stubborn and too self absorbed to realize her slavish adherence to one tiny ornery of political life is consigning her to be a big nothing once her term is up. No one will want to be in business or do business with or offer future opportunities to someone this visibly dense.

13. After she loses the primary in 2024, will she donate the leftover campaign cash she received

from RW corporations to the Republican party?


She has less than zero possibility of winning the AZ primary in 2024.

14. Can there be an investigation and to her ties with big Pharma

How can this be legal
