Members of the Democratic so-called “Squad” are blasting Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) after she came out in opposition to a $3.5 trillion spending package.
On Wednesday, Sinema said she would support a $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure package. However, in a statement later in the day, she came out in opposition to a separate $3.5 trillion spending bill that Democrats are hoping to pass alongside the bipartisan package.
“While I will support beginning this process, I do not support a bill that costs $3.5 trillion — and in the coming months, I will work in good faith to develop this legislation with my colleagues and the administration to strengthen Arizona’s economy and help Arizona’s everyday families get ahead,” she said in a statement.
