Over Cactihttps://jezebel.com/sen-kyrsten-sinema-defends-her-support-of-the-filibust-1847438060
After four years, Meghan McCains reign of terror on The View ended Friday, and to send her off, she and her co-hosts were briefly joined by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, who is a terror in her own right.
Sinema, an Arizona Democrat with an incomprehensible political compass, has been an obstructionist nightmare this year, giving Democrat-When-Convenient Sen. Joe Manchin a run for his money. The two have been in lockstep with their opposition to ending the filibuster, and Sinema spent most of her interview defending her pro-filibuster stance.
But not before schmoozing over her special friendship with McCain first. Meghan and I have a lot in common, Sinema said. Were both from Arizona, we love cacti... I think were both tough as nails, and were both fiercely independent.

I think youre a perfect person to represent Arizona, McCain said, going so far as to call Sinema a mavericka title often associated with her father, late Arizona Senator John McCain. I think my favorite thing is that... [Arizonans] just believe what we believe, unabashedly and unafraid, Sinema said, becoming audibly tearful. Even if we have to stand alone, we dont really mind what other people think and what other people are doing.
