As we told you earlier, Dems were outraged at Sen. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona after she voted against adding an increase in the minimum wage to the massive Covid-19 relief bill making its way slowly through the Senate:
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema accused of 'taunting' the working class with her dramatic 'let them eat cake' no vote on the minimum wage https://t.co/aeMe8RVCbH

After the vote, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez called out the senators, although she didn’t have the guts to name them:
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 just doesn’t get it, does she? Here’s Kaite Pavlich — who was born in Arizona — explaining to a “certain NY socialist” what’s really going on with Sinema’s vote:
This display wasn’t about taunting the working class. AZ’s Sinema is a) representing her constituents, who don’t want a $15 minimum wage (tried/bad in Flagstaff) b) pushing back far left House members who think they run the Senate (how cute), specifically a certain NY socialist https://t.co/5evBf6tLS6

Maybe AOC doesn’t care about Senate Dems winning elections? Sen. Maggie Hassan, who also voted against the increase, is already being mocked by the state GOP over AOC’s tweet:
.@SenatorHassan, pick up the phone. The leader of your party, @AOC, is calling. @Maggie_Hassan has some?problems to deal with. Since she's already underwater with independent voters, is she actively trying to lose her base too? #nhpolitics #nhsen https://t.co/5A4hWbqD9m
