Tensions between Democrats and Sinema continue to simmer
Tensions between Washington Democrats and Kyrsten Sinema came to a boil late Tuesday with the Arizona senator lashing out at Majority Leader Chuck Schumer over the slow pace of voting in the chamber.
“Could we have some discipline in the votes, ever?” Sinema was overheard by a Bloomberg reporter in the press gallery challenging Schumer. “You're in charge!”
While Schumer's response to Sinema was not captured on tape or relayed to reporters by Senate colleagues, Sinema's outburst caught the attention of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y.

Ocasio-Cortez is one of many progressives incensed at Sinema over her opposition to the Build Back Better bill and changes to the filibuster to pass voting rights legislation.
