   Arizona Sen. Kyrsten Sinema gave a nod to her late predecessor Sen. John   
   McCain with a flashy thumbs down vote in the Senate on Friday.   
      
   Video captured in the Senate chamber showed the newly elected Sinema   
   making the move to reject a proposal from Sen. Bernie Sanders to include a   
   $15 minimum wage increase into the Senate’s $1.9 trillion coronavirus   
   relief package.   
      
   Sinema was joined by seven other Senate Democrats as well as all   
   Republicans.   
      
   McCain famously voted no on a Senate plan to repeal Obamacare in 2018 with   
   a thumbs down that ultimately sunk the effort.   
      
   Though she supports raising the wage, Sinema said she would support the   
   ruling of the Senate Parliamentarian who determined that the minimum wage   
   could not be included as part of the Reconciliation process, a Senate   
   protocol, which is allowing the coronavirus relief bill to pass with 51   
   votes as opposed to the customary 60 necessary to override a filibuster.   
      
   “Senators of both parties have shown support for raising the federal   
   minimum wage and the Senate should hold an open debate and amendment   
   process on raising the minimum wage separate from the COVID-focused   
   reconciliation bill,” Sinema said in a statement explaining her vote.   
      
   The sentiment didn’t go over well among many in her own party, with   
   Progressives taking particular ire. Sanders took the floor Saturday to   
   urge his colleagues to disregard the Parliamentarian’s ruling, dismissing   
   him as an unelected employee of the Senate.   
      
   New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez was even blunter.   
      
   “Imagine having the ganas to go home and ask minimum wage workers to   
   support you after going back on your own documented stance to help crush   
   their biggest chance at a wage hike during their longest drought of wage   
   increases since the law’s very inception. Sin vergüenza,” she said in a   
   tweet.

   Thank you for cleaning up the disaster of the 2008-2017 Obama / Biden   
   fiasco, President Trump.   
      
   Under Barack Obama's leadership, the United States of America became the   
   The World According To Garp.  Obama sold out heterosexuals for Hollywood   
   queer liberal democrat donors.   
      
   President Trump boosted the economy, reduced illegal invasions, appointed   
   dozens of judges and three SCOTUS justices.
