Sinema: I simply won't back a $3.5T spending bill

Kyrsten Sinema still opposes her party's plans for a $3.5 trillion, party-line spending bill. And she’s not up for a negotiation about it.

As House Democratic leaders hold back Sinema’s own Senate-passed bipartisan infrastructure bill in order to push the Arizona Democrat and Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) to support a multitrillion-dollar spending bill, Sinema is making it crystal clear that her mind can’t be changed. And that applies even as her own legislation becomes a bargaining chip in House Democrats’ internal discussions.

In statement shortly after Sinema's, Manchin leaned on Pelosi and House leaders to act now on the $550 billion bipartisan infrastructure bill instead of waiting for the Senate to pass a massive spending bill.

"It would send a terrible message to the American people if this bipartisan bill is held hostage. I urge my colleagues in the House to move swiftly to get this once in a generation legislation to the President’s desk for his signature," Manchin said.

Here we go again.

Why don't they just say they won't back reconciliation no matter what? Cuz that's what they're implying, might as well say it.

This predictable drunk...

I seriously wish Biden had the balls to call Sinema and Manchin by name all over the media and social media platforms and hold them accountable for their actions.

Democrats simply can’t stand and afford not be active right now. They need to start releasing ADS hitting them where it hurts the most and primary them if they have to.

Enough is enough. They do this type of things because they know the Democratic Party is weak and they can get away with it.

Wall street thinks they are bluffing:

I’d bet on where the money moves.

Agreed. These two stooges absolutely love having the attention or the control, so put them on the spot publicly and make it known that if these bills fail, it is because of these faux Democrats.

Cant say we didn’t see this coming ��

Lmfao! I bet you we will see an announcement soon from cryin Chucky and Nancy saying, “We have agreed in concept to forge a stand alone DA for Dreamers in future and now move ahead and pass infrastructure only.”

Love em or hate em hats off to Blue Dogs for sticking to their guns!
