Kyrsten Sinema channels John McCain, gives ‘thumbs-down’ vote on $15 minimum wage plan
Fox News
When it came time to vote Friday on a $15 minimum wage amendment to the massive coronavirus stimulus bill, maverick Democrat U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema chose to do it in emphatic Arizona style – and the move infuriated her critics on the left.
The senator explained her vote in a statement posted on Twitter, saying the minimum wage debate should be settled separately from the congressional response to the pandemic. "The Senate should hold an open debate and amendment process on raising the minimum wage." "I’m proud to work across party lines to end [ObamaCare] and make health care more affordable." "What he did to the Republican Party and to the nation and to sick people that could have had great health care was not good."More Related News
