Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) to flip on the filibuster. 20 Arizona groups joined a coalition of more than 40 organizations known as Just Democracy to put out ads targeting Sinema.<\/p>\n<p>The $1.5 million television campaign featured two ads that focus on separate issues. One slammed Sinema over her stance on the filibuster, which she and Sen. Joe Manchin have repeatedly said they want to keep.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">NEW: <\/p>\n<p>Alongside 20 Arizona groups, we are launching a $1.5 million ad campaign targeting Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) for siding with anti-democratic actors on the filibuster and standing in the way of voting rights. <\/p>\n<p>Our statement:<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/S3VOiujHBH\">https:\/\/t.co\/S3VOiujHBH<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Just Democracy (@JustDemocracy) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/JustDemocracy\/status\/1406953174263607302?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 21, 2021<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, left-wing Democrats have pushed to kill the filibuster in order to easily pass their agenda without GOP support. The other attack ad criticized Sinema for voting against raising the federal minimum wage to $15 an hour.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cArizona, Kyrsten Sinema is failing us. Instead of voting for a living wage, she chose to hurt those who need help most,\u201d the video announced. \u201cInstead of protecting our democracy with so much at stake\u2026she didn\u2019t even show up.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The ads will air across Arizona as the Senate gets ready to take up Democrats\u2019 sweeping election reform bill, which Republicans will likely block using the filibuster.<\/p>\n<h4>MORE NEWS:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/fmr-rep-ron-paul-putins-calmness-toward-biden-in-stunning-contrast-to-past-remarks\/\">Fmr.
