Arizona Democratic Party will hold vote to censure Sinema
By Owen Daugherty - 09/17/19 07:43 PM EDT

The Arizona Democratic Party is planning to hold a vote this week to determine whether Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) should be censured.

The Arizona Republic reports the censure vote is due to the fact that progressives in the state Democratic Party see her as too accommodating to President Trump and his policies.

Those seeking to censure Sinema point to her vote to confirm David Bernhardt, Trump’s nominee to serve as secretary of the Interior, as well as her vote to confirm William Barr as Attorney General, the news outlet notes.

Dems seek to censure their own narrowly-elected sitting senator for not opposing Trump enough
By Thomas Lifson

Trump Derangement Syndrome is driving Democrats so insane that fanatics are turning against one of their own in the Senate, elected by a narrow margin in 2018, seeking to have the party censure the crime of occasionally voting with President Trump’s initiatives. 

I am not making this up.

Owen Daugherty reports in The Hill:

    The Arizona Democratic Party is planning to hold a vote this week to determine whether Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) should be censured.

    The Arizona Republic reports the censure vote is due to the fact that progressives in the state Democratic Party see her as too accommodating to President Trump and his policies.

    Those seeking to censure Sinema point to her vote to confirm David Bernhardt, Trump’s nominee to serve as secretary of the Interior, as well as her vote to confirm William Barr as Attorney General, the news outlet notes.

    Additionally, progressives in the Arizona Democratic Party cite Sinema’s resistance to joining fellow Democrats in trying to reinstate net neutrality rules to prevent internet service providers from throttling websites.

Arizona Progressives Want To Censure Sen. Kyrsten Sinema For Being Too Centrist


--- Quote ---Senator Kyrsten Sinema is in trouble with the progressives in her own party. The progressive caucus has submitted a censure resolution to be considered at a state Democratic committee meeting this Saturday. From ABC 15:


--- Quote ---Sinema is specifically targeted in the resolution for her confirmation vote of President Donald Trump’s Attorney General nominee William Barr, in which she was one of only three Democratic senators to vote to confirm Barr. The Progressives are also upset with her decision not to co-sponsor the “Save the Internet Act,” a bill that would have repealed recent rules by the FCC that removed Obama era net neutrality protections…

Sen. Sinema’s spokesperson did not respond to a request for comment from the Arizona Republic but a spokesman for Progressive Democrats of America said this was an attempt to force Sinema to the left:

I would have titled this article, "Arizona Progressives Want To Censure Sen. Kyrsten Sinema For Being Insufficiently Crazy. She may be, personally, but I suspect she realizes going Full-Crazed-Prog might make her a one-term Senator.
