Kyrsten Sinema Shredded for Wearing a Jean Jacket to Preside Over the Senate: ‘Does She Think This Is a F–ing Rodeo?’

Arizona Democrat Kyrsten Sinema wore a jean jacket vest Tuesday to preside over the U.S. Senate.

The throwback fashion statement — and we’ll call it what it was, tacky — wasn’t her first questionable choice or behavior that has drawn condemnation. But the utter surprise for those expecting a more professional sartorial demeanor — even from her — remained.

And it came at a crossroads, as congressional Democrats closed in on a deal for a domestic spending package. It’s something Sinema had previously stood in the way of, provoking anger among many of her colleagues in part because, in addition to trolling instead of engaging, she used it as part of an apparent attention-getting ploy.

[we can do it]

1. I didn't think it was possible to look worse than Gym Jordan

I was wrong.

[XanaDUer2]

49. I know. I've said the same here. Nt

[Wounded Bear]

2. Valley girl, Arizona style...

[Harker]

3. Faux edgy.

Yuck.

[Zambero]

4. She's got problems

Her smug look and choice of attire seem to be saying "Not to be outdone by Gym Jordan!".

[LeftInTX]

33. I agree..

[Budi]

5. That is true, however there are a few who use the media & props in the same Look At Meeee! scenarios

Senate & Congressional grandstanders are plentiful.

[Nixie]

24. Ooh yeah. Very true.

[MontanaMama]

6. Does she go to high school?

Sure looks that way.

[packman]

7. By the numbers:

1. Total discard for decorum
2. Total contempt for the office
3. Playing to the crowd
4. Not caring for anyone's sense of respect for the institution
5. Just being an asshole

[Botany]

10. "Just being an asshole"

Nice outfit if you were going out to a bar or on a date but to preside over the senate?


I think she has some real mental problems too.

[Mike 03]

14. Yes. This is Sinema's "'I REALLY DON'T CARE, DO U? moment.

Like with her "Fuck Off" bracelet.

I think that message is primarily to her constituents.

[Botany]

21. She knows that "they" need her vote and so she can act like a nasty little self indulgent shit.

Margaret Chase Smith or Barbara Boxer or 'liz Warren or Tammy Duckworth she is not.

Class of a rat's asshole.

[redstatebluegirl]

11. You forgot getting rich off of corporate right wing donors.

[hlthe2b]

8. Rodeo? Try biker bar facing foreclosure.

[BlueJac]

9. All I can say is IDIOT!

Lack of any class what so ever.

[Walleye]

12. I don't like her jewelry either. Does she think she is Ringo

[lapfog_1]

13. Ehh... biker bar / preside over the US Senate

they are much the same thing.

[jalan48]

15. Maybe she thinks it makes her look more like john McCain?

[Ilsa]

16. Next summer she'll try out blue jean cut-offs.

She's certainly an attention seeker.

[agingdem]

17. she's the embodiment of

the Dunning Krueger Effect plus an apathetic attention seeker...assumes her position give her carte blanche to do as she pleases with no regard for the "little people" who unwittingly elected a classless mean girl wannabe...a buffoon..

[jaysunb]

18. We absolutely must win the Ohio and Pennsylvania senate seats.

This sideshow isn't helping save our democracy.

[JustAnotherGen]

45. This

And hold onto Warnock's and Kelly's. That's all it takes to send her to the back of the class with the other malcontents.

[Farmer-Rick]

19. A tool for the filthy rich

Betraying Americans for fun and profits.

[3catwoman3]

20. Her facial expression isn't helping...

...at all.

[Buns_of_Fire]

22. Kyrsten v. Gym: Who will win the "Tacky Troublemaker Trophy"?

Gym's still ahead on "Obnoxious Big Mouth" points, but Kyrsten has countered with her "Mavericky Goofball" costumes. And don't count out Margie the Kook, Matt the Molester, and a perennial favorite, Louie the Goober. Still too early to call.

[Wingus Dingus]

23. Did you ever have that sudden slight hair-raising sensation that a person

you're dealing with isn't all there? She's that person.

[Homoudont]

25. Don't attack a women for what she wears

Please don't attack a women for what she wears. It misogynistic and unfair to her. Here at DU we would never attack Obama for wearing a tan suit so please don't attack Sinema for her attire.

If you want to attack her please do so on her position and voting record, not the way she appears.

[Botany]

26. Your concern is deeply appreciated by the folks "here at DU."

I like horses do you?

[Polly Hennessey]

27. "Your concern is deeply appreciated." We are

calling her on her lack of respect for the Senate. She most likely chose what to wear with an agenda in mind. This makes her fair game for criticism. Criticizing clothes is not disrespectful in my opinion. Clothes are one of the first things we observe when looking at a person. We have an opinion.

[Blaukraut]

28. If, say, Kaine sat up there in a Christmas sweater, he'd get comments, too

It's not about criticizing Sinema's choice of attire. It's about WHERE she chooses to dress like that. There has to be some sort of (even unwritten) dress code for the Senate. It's a workplace.

[Polybius]

34. Well, as long as it's December I'd say Kaine can go ahead and wear that sweater

[Wingus Dingus]

30. OMG. Obama's tan suit was a SUIT, appropriate for a President.

A faded-denim vest with patches on it to preside over the Senate is a fuck-you to the institution and constituency she serves.

[Polybius]

32. Usually I'd agree, but noting is absolute

Suppose she went to work in a mini-skirt with fishnet stockings? Can we talk about it then? What about men? If Mitch McConnell walked onto the Senate floor in bicycle shorts, we can't make fun of him?

[KentuckyWoman]

35. So I'm in the camp of who cares what she wears ... BUT

if Mitch was presiding over the Senate in a mini-skirt and fishnets ... I might comment

[PoliticAverse]

40. I'm gonna blame you for the fact that I now have a picture in my head...

of Mitch McConnell wearing a mini-skirt and fishnet stockings.

[tenderfoot]

38. LOL

[alphafemale]

51. lmao

Pointing out the sea lion.

[JustAnotherGen]

47. I'm a woman in leadership

And if she showed up at a meeting to present to me and my peers dressed that way -

I would pull her out of the meeting. . . And I work in the tech sector.

Obama was wearing a SUIT. Appropriate for the President.

I don't expect the female members of the Senate or House to be in pantsuits - but I do expect junior members to look to the leaders and follow suit (pardon the pun). That shit matters in the real world -I expect nothing less from people I'm paying to do their job in Washington DC.

[11 Bravo]

48. I'm curious, if someone was to post "Fuck off troll", would that be a TOS violation?

Many people are asking. (Not me, but MANY people!)

[Captain Zero]

29. WHY do we let her have the gavel??

That's the question. It's like rewarding a petulant kindergartner.

It really pisses me off.

[PoliticAverse]

31. Not sure why people are more upset about this than the "DANGEROUS CREATURE" sweater she wore...

https://people.com/style/senator-kyrsten-sinema-dangerous-creature-sweater-goes-viral/

[LeftInTX]

36. Did not know about this one!

I knew she had a sweater like that, but did not know she wore while presiding over the Senate

[BradAllison]

43. Only dangerous to the average constituent. n/m

[JI7]

53. Because it's still a sweater .

[Gore1FL]

37. She is as big of a narcissist as Trump. nt

[BlueLucy]

39. She has a compact mirror in her hand which she keeps looking at. nt

[PoliticAverse]

41. So what's she gonna wear this Halloween? n/t

[BradAllison]

42. So fucking smug

[Irish_Dem]

44. It would just be annoying/amusing if the situation was not so tragic on many levels.

The damage to the US, our democracy, our party and the American people by this woman.

[malaise]

46. Disgraceful

seriously

[Dave says]

50. She looks like a den mother over a bunch of cub scouts

Hey, at least it's not a beige suit.

[11 Bravo]

52. Fucking twit.
