Left Fumes at Axios for Noting Sinema’s Bisexuality Does Not Translate to WokenessNick Gilbertson 2 Oct 2021
Leftist publications are seething in the wake of an Axios article published on October 1 that highlights Sen. Krysten Sinema’s (D-AZ) bisexuality does not automatically equate to wokeness.
Allies of Sinema informed Axios that the senator would not be bullied into “supporting President Biden’s $3.5 trillion budget bill: She doesn’t play by Washington’s rules — and she’s prepared to walk away,” according to Hans Nichols’ article.
The piece goes on to suggest the fact that Sinema is bisexual does not translate to an endorsement of the radical woke agenda as some progressives may assume.
“Progressives could be forgiven for presuming that Sinema, 45, the first openly bisexual member of Congress, who’s easy to spot in her trademark sleeveless dresses, wry wigs and acrylic glasses, would share their woke politics,” wrote Nichols.
The statement triggered a number of leftist outlets, including LGBTQ Nation and the Washington Post.
“But Axios, a beltway news outlet, decided to defend her in an odd way: by tying her obstruction to her bisexuality,” wrote Alex Bollinger of LGBTQ Nation.
“Bisexual people – like people of any sexual orientation – can belong to any political ideology, and social media users called out Axios for making Sinema’s obstructionism about her bisexuality,” Bollinger added.
