Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) on Friday dismissed recent scrutiny from her Democratic colleagues as the Arizona lawmaker prepares for the end of her first and only term in the upper chamber.
Sinema, who opted against running for reelection earlier this year, faced her latest wave of pushback from the left after she and Sen. Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.) blocked the renomination of Lauren McFerran to the National Labor Relations Board, which opened the door for Republican control of the board under President-elect Trump.
In an exit interview with Semafor published Friday, Sinema waved away the pushback, saying she didn’t “give a s‑‑‑.”
“I know some people think I’m, like, this enigma or whatever, but I don’t think that’s true at all,” Sinema told Semafor. “I think, maybe, this is a place where sometimes people say things that they don’t mean. I am not one of those people … I think I’m highly predictable.”
Both Sinema and Manchin began their terms as Democrats but left the party after facing widespread anger from the party for putting up roadblocks to some liberal priorities under President Biden, in part by staunchly backing the Senate filibuster.

Even though the titles are no right, sometimes you have to allow (and be grateful) for things that don't follow what the script should be.
She did what Georgia could not do.
