Kyrsten Sinema called out Democrats who were opposed to her support for the Senate filibuster, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY).
The filibuster debate reignited again this week amid budget chaos as Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) faced pressure from some Democrats after he backed pushing through the continuing resolution. The filibuster is a procedural rule that forces 60 votes for legislation to move forward, and it’s something some Democratic lawmakers have long argued against. During this debate, however, some pushed to use the filibuster to prevent the CR from being pushed through.
“Change of heart on the filibuster, I see!” Sinema, a former Arizona senator. wrote in response to Ocasio-Cortez saying she felt “outrage and betrayal” over Schumer voting to advance the CR.
She also included Ocasio-Cortez’s past criticism of Sinema’s support for the filibuster.
