As we told you yesterday, pro-illegal-immigration activists decided that it wasn’t enough to follow Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema into a bathroom and film her; they had to follow her onto an airplane, too.
A DACA recipient named Karina tried to ask Kyrsten Sinema if she'd support a pathway to citizenship for immigrants and Sinema refused to answer.
If Karina was a corporation and held a giant fundraiser for Sinema, maybe she'd get an answer. pic.twitter.com/DPbPuUe8yl

Karina doesn’t deserve an answer, because she elected to harass Kyrsten Sinema on a flight instead of displaying a modicum of basic civility.
But Guardian and Jacobin Magazine journalist David Sirota not only thinks that Karina deserves an answer; he thinks Sen. Sinema is actually a hypocrite for not wishing to indulge Karina’s rudeness:
“Senators need to hear from their constituents…Hearing from constituents early and often makes a world of difference.” – @KyrstenSinema a few months ago to corporate lobbyistshttps://t.co/g3GajX11qp https://t.co/UbVlZ6PEnB

What David here doesn’t seem to realize is that his evidence of Kyrsten Sinema’s hypocrisy is not actually evidence of Kyrsten Sinema’s hypocrisy.
Are illegal aliens constituents?

Illegal aliens are not constituents of a US senator https://t.co/LPAlyHrq8i

Fact-check: true.
Illegal immigrants are not her constituents.

Illegal immigrants can't vote. Not her constituent

Illegal aliens aren't constituents. It's not like they can vote for her.

Not legally, anyway.
That woman confronting her is not her constituent, she is not a citizen. And this bill is terrible and Sinema choosing not to support is in the best interests of her voters

It seems to us that Kyrsten Sinema is still as concerned as ever about what her constituents need.
