Arizona senator Kyrsten Sinema,
who succeeded
in convincing President Biden and
the Democratic Party to cut down
the budget reconciliation bill to
something that's unrecognizable,
was approached yet again by one of
her constituents who just wanted to
have a conversation.
But since the constituent isn't
a billionaire donor, you can guess
how Sinema treated her.
Let's watch.
>> You know what,
choose to be a Senator, and
I am wondering.
>> I know you've met with dozens of
lobbyists and talking with
corporate donors about the package.
How many times will you meet
with constituents?
How many times have you met
constituents for negotiating bills.
>> Sorry about this.
[LAUGH] >> I think it's part
of the course.
>> I want you to your constituents.
I can have them meet you next week.
Every single year in Arizona,
it's getting hotter and hotter.
We're breaking records.
>> Look, I agree.
>> I know.
>> People are suffering,
your constituents are suffering.
What are you going to do about
climate change?
Next week in Glasgow could be
the last chance.
Please answer me senator,
my family, my house,
we're from Tucson,
are constituents.
>> There you have it, American
democracy right there for you.
She felt the need to apologize
to Republican Tim Scott,
because one of her own constituents
from Tucson Arizona had
the audacity to approach her and
ask questions about policy that has
a giant impact on her life and
the lives of all Americans.
I mean, this is America, this is
what two awful Supreme Court
rulings, the latest being
Citizens United has led to.
A government that doesn't work for
its people, it's just a government
that works for corporate donors.
And also, I mean, again I'm
going to keep repeating this point.
They're invested in individual
businesses and stocks.
They don't care about you.
They don't care, they just don't.
The system is set up for
them not to care, which is why
she can just brazenly ignore her
own constituent like that,
and then feel the need to apologize
to her Republican Senator.
To apologize to
a Republican senator because
a constituent approached her.
That's who Kyrsten Sinema is but
she's not the only one.
And I want to also note, Sinema and
Manchin are the two Democratic
senators who have taken all
the heat.
And to be clear,
they should get a lot of heat, but
they're not the only ones.
There's a ton of hush-hush
corporate Democrats in the Senate
who agree with everything
they're doing, okay.
Let's not forget about them,
the Dick Durbin's,
the Mark Warner's, other corporate
Democrats who didn't feel the need
to go out as publicly as Manchin
and Sinema have.
But you think they want all of
the robust provisions in the budget
reconciliation bill?
You think that they listen to their
constituents rather than the best
interests of corporate
corporations?
Please, there's many of them.
This system of legalized
bribery honestly makes both parties
very similar to each other when it
comes to substantive issues.
I'm talking foreign policy.
I'm talking economic policy.
And then when it comes to social
issues, honestly it's all lip
service from Democrats because when
push comes to shove, they don't do
anything about that either.
What happened to police reform?
Nothing.
>> So we're going to show you in
a second how much of a liar
Kyrsten Sinema is,
just flat out liar, okay?
But as you saw that interaction on
tape, it's really hard
not to despise the elites.
And so, this is going to be
interestingly ironic, but I want to
reach out to right wingers here and
I want to do it more and more.
Do you not get it?
That's a Democratic senator and
a Republican senator.
They're both voting to make
sure that the richest people in
the world do not get their taxes
increased.
That the richest corporations
in the world, the big business
that's crushing you and
paying you incredibly low wages,
they're both the Republicans and
the Democrats work for them.
They don't work for us.
So when you're getting angry at
the elites,
you are right right wingers.
When you then say,
it's the fault of the Mexican
dude who crossed the border
without a dollar in his pocket.
Who do you think rigged the system,
the powerless or the powerful?
Please don't be a knucklehead.
We need every American to stand up
and realize, don't look down,
look up.
>> Yes. >> Look up.
>> Yes. >> It's their donors.
And by the way, if you're a right
winger you know this, but
again you got slightly misdirected.
He's all George Soros,
I can't believe it and
then there's, you want to take
Soros' money out of politics?
Absolutely, I can't wait to take it
out, well how about union money?
I can't wait to take it out.
How about corporate money?
I can't wait to take it out.
If you're a right winger,
why would you sell?
The unions are bad, Soros is bad.
But those big business guys,
I bet they have my best
interests in mind.
Wall Street bankers, I bet they
have my best interests in mind.
Are you insane?
Who do you think Tim Scott's donors
are, Ted Cruz's donors,
Mitch McConnell's donors?
And yes, the corporate Democrats,
yes they're
working together to screw us all.
And look at their disdain for
their voters.
They're all like, Mr Elite, I'm so
sorry the riffraff voters come
here, are you my constituent?
Don't touch me, don't touch me and
they're in the goddamn hunger
games man.
They're at the Capitol, they've got
their funny make up on and they
look down their noses at all of us.
So let's talk about Sinema's lies.
Let's show you the old tweets.
Okay, you're ready?
Here we go.
Here's a tweet
that Sinema had earlier.
Senate Democrats should use
reconciliation to pass health
reform legislation.
We've used it for
health care before.
Well that was in 2010.
>> Yeah, it's interesting how
different she is now that she's had
so many meetings with corporate
donors.
Now all of a sudden not so
interested in using reconciliation.
>> When she was coming up and
trying to get into the house and
giving quotes like this,
she was desperate for voters.
At that point she'd go to every
voter meeting and she'd tell them,
my God, I'm with you all week,
we need to use our conciliation.
Now she says,
how dare you you use it.
We need to make sure
we got a healthcare reform.
Now she says,
absolutely no healthcare reform.
My God, my donors
are outragedd by it.
Here's more quotes.
2011, Warren Buffett asks Congress
to level the playing field and
make sure the rich pay their fair
share in taxes.
She is single-handedly, yes,
working with every Republican.
Yes, secret corporate Democrats but
publicly she's the one Democrat
saying, I will not allow a dollar
increase in taxes for
the rich, not one dollar to my
beloved rich people.
Look at what a gargantuan liar
Kyrsten Sinema is.
She says again in earlier tweets,
as I said on Fox, it will come from
closing tax loopholes for
big corporations and the rich so
they pay their fair share like us.
She is campaigning against that
publicly as we speak.
She continues, today, our clueless
Congress plans to cut taxes for
the richest 2%, time for a change.
Apparently the time for
change has passed,
she now says those same people
should not get any tax increases.
She could continue, as corporations
spend in secret to influence
Congress and rig the game.
Demand Congress overturn
Citizens United.
She now thinks spending in secret
to influence Congress is terrific.
And it's exactly the kind of money
she receives.
So screw the elites.
They're lying to you.
Any media that tells you that
they're honorable legislators
who are having debates that
are philosophical and ideological.
My God.
She looked at the spreadsheets and
then she had a debate with
Tim Scott and then they all,
both agreed that the donors
who gave them millions of dollars
should get everything.
What a philosophical debate
they had.
No, corruption defined.
