"Ask Kyrsten Sinema, the former Democratic senator from Arizona, who curtsied on the Senate floor while rejecting a minimum wage increase in 2021 to raise wages for up to 27 million Americans, and then spent the rest of her time in office protecting hedge fund managers from paying taxes and blocking filibuster reform, Warren said, adding: Sinema faced no consequences from her president or her leaders in Washington."
"But today, she is cashing in from the industry she protected. The Wall Street Journal recently marveled at the sheer number of projects Sinema has taken on from crypto, AI, and other wealthy corporate clients. And meanwhile, millions of working Americans who have not seen a minimum wage increase in almost two decades are still waiting for Democrats to deliver on one of our most basic promises."
Kyrsten Sinema opposed a 2021 minimum wage increase, curtsying on the Senate floor while rejecting a raise that would have affected up to 27 million Americans. She spent remaining time in office protecting hedge fund managers from paying taxes and blocking filibuster reform, while resisting closing the carried interest loophole and corporate tax increases. Sinema faced no consequences from presidential or party leadership and was ultimately pushed out of the Senate by constituents. After leaving office she accepted projects from crypto, AI, and other wealthy corporate clients. Millions of working Americans remain without a minimum wage increase for nearly two decades.
