Arizona Democrat Senator Kyrsten Sinema made the far left in her party big mad today with her “no” vote on raising the minimum wage to $15 an hour.
But it wasn’t just that she voted no, it was the way she did it that ticked off her fellow Democrats.

Did she really have to do it like that? That’s what the above tweet from a member of Julian Castro’s team asks. It can’t be that Sinema is an actually reasonable democratic politician who understands how ridiculous a $15/hr minimum wage is. No, she’s just cruel and heartless.
Here are some other “boohoo” reactions that are particularly entertaining:

Breaking: Sinema pro-poverty!
I am insane and zoomed in on another picture of her carrying and in the spirit of Edward R. Murrow-level journalism I'm humbled to announce in a parody of white feminism Krysten Sinema [sic] voted against a $15 living wage while carrying a giant Lululemon bag. pic.twitter.com/BCHVCbpvR2

Oh no! She shops at Lululemon! How dare she! And yes, you are insane.
Sinema just taunted close to a million of her constituents with this no vote after walking into the chamber with a big piece of cake.

By the way, a minimum wage increase would not do any of those things. And I think Sinema understands this.
In 1938 Frances Perkins did everything in her power to ensure passage of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Today Krysten Sinema did everything in her power to make sure it wasn't amended to raise the minimum wage to $15/hour.pic.twitter.com/gailJcPD9P https://t.co/hVsUjAQlIr
