Kyrsten Sinema (D., Ariz.), the first openly bisexual woman in history to serve in the Senate.<\/p>\n<p>Sinema&#8217;s offense, apparently, is being a proud LGBT woman who isn&#8217;t afraid to think independently and express her opinions. The journos and libs freaked out on Monday after Sinema exercised her First Amendment rights by writing an op-ed in the <em>Washington Post<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The op-ed reiterated the senator&#8217;s support for preserving the 60-vote requirement to end a Senate filibuster, a tactic both parties have relied upon for years to block far-reaching legislation.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s no secret that I oppose eliminating the Senate&#8217;s 60-vote threshold. I held the same view during three terms in the U.S. House, and said the same after I was elected to the Senate in 2018,&#8221; Sinema wrote. &#8220;If anyone expected me to reverse my position because my party now controls the Senate, they should know that my approach to legislating in Congress is the same whether in the minority or majority.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Journos and libs want to get rid of the filibuster because they do not believe Republican voters deserve to be represented in Congress, and view elected GOP senators as illegitimate. Perhaps due to their outdated, misogynist worldview, Sinema&#8217;s liberal critics are unable to accept the fact that, as a woman, she can think for herself and won&#8217;t simply change her opinion in response to peer pressure or female mood swings.<\/p>\n<p><em>New York Times<\/em> columnist Jamelle Bouie <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jbouie\/status\/1407147882600349698\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">accused<\/a> Sinema of acting &#8220;delusional,&#8221; a common misogynist trope that is often invoked to discredit female opinions. Former Obama aide Jon Favreau <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jonfavs\/status\/1407159504655978499\">attacked<\/a> the senator&#8217;s &#8220;poorly argued, fairly delusional op-ed&#8221; and said it was incumbent on prominent male Democrats to &#8220;convince her she&#8217;s wrong.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Disgraced journalist Keith Olbermann echoed the anti-woman stereotype, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/KeithOlbermann\/status\/1407151134486274050?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">suggesting<\/a> Sinema&#8217;s op-ed was evidence the LGBT woman was &#8220;self-destructing.&#8221; MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mehdirhasan\/status\/1407171807401156610\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said<\/a> he would love to see a Democratic man debate Sinema, implying the man&#8217;s superior logic would make the female senator look dumb.
