Tom Cotton invited Kyrsten Sinema to join the MAGA GOP

[DemocratSinceBirth]

A bisexual woman joining the GOP is like a chicken joining the American Poultry Association, the small number of inclusive Republicans notwithstanding.

1. A fake poor girl and a fake war hero

why not?

[hlthe2b]

7. "Fake poor girl?"

Can you explain this?

[tenderfoot]

8. Cinema claims an impoverished upbringing

There's been speculation that her backstory is total bullshit. She grew up middle class, her family briefly lived in an abandoned gas station while the house they were living in was being painted.

She's a liar.

Explained.

[hlthe2b]

9. Ahh, I'd heard the gas station saga, but not the rebuttal.

Figures.

[former9thward]

10. You did not hear a rebuttal.

You heard a allegation with no evidence. Why hasn't the media investigated her story and exposed her if its BS? Why hasn't op research done the same? She is a very high profile figure.

[hlthe2b]

11. I don't know. Why?

[former9thward]

12. Because her story must be true unlike an allegation from an anonymous internet poster.

Everyone at that level is investigated. By the media looking for gotcha stories, rivals within the party and opponents from the other party.

[BradAllison]

13. It's bizarre how you turn up with these answers

What's your proof?

[former9thward]

15. Proof of what?

I did not say Sinema is lying. The poster I replied to said that. He/she should offer some proof.

[BradAllison]

19. Nah proof please bud. Thanks.

By the way, how you doin' today? Ecstatic?

[hlthe2b]

23. I said nothing of the kind. You interrupted a question I HAD with another poster

who inferred that.

[former9thward]

26. "interrupted"?

That is not how discussion boards work. Posts are not private messages between posters. There is a feature if you want to do that.

[tenderfoot]

14. I think she's a fraud and you don't.

eom

[former9thward]

16. You have offered no proof.

Or even a particle of evidence.

[tenderfoot]

21. I can only go by what I've read and her own actions while in office.

Which is more than enough proof that she hasn't an nth of integrity.

She is a troll.

[BradAllison]

17. +1

[former9thward]

18. Where is the proof or evidence?

None needed?

[BradAllison]

20. You realize how obvious you are yet?

I mean, don't you?

22. Here's one of many articles found with Google

25. +1

[former9thward]

28. From the link you gave a +1

What is not in doubt is that Ms. Sinema and her family were living in deeply trying circumstances, relying on assistance from the local Mormon Church to which they belonged.

“I was one of the kids who benefited from that program because we were very poor,” Sinema, a social worker herself before grad school and politics, told Wootten. “I would spend my summers at elementary schools eating free breakfast and free lunch.”

“She lived in an old, worn-out gas station for a number of years with no running water and no other things,” Roc Arnett, then-president of the influential East Valley Partnership, wowed a crowd of business executives waiting to hear Sinema. “It has helped craft her into the person she is today.”

Sinema typically says the problems started when her father lost his job amid the 1980s recession. Records show he was also fighting complaints from legal clients, censure by the State Bar of Arizona, a real-estate deal gone bad and IRS debts. The family’s house would briefly go into foreclosure.

31. One hell of a paintjob... she lived in the gas station for THREE YEARS.

Lots of contemporaneous verification for her claims.

2. And give up your committee assignments

I don't much like Sen. Sinema, but I don't think she's a total idiot. Sen. Cotton, on the other hand, may not have a high opinion of her judgment or intellect. But jumping to the loser caucus is a one-way ticket to political palookaville.

3. Don't kid yourself - there are several gay Rethugs in the GOP congress. Sadly they

are so fucked up they haven't come out......yet.

4. Senator Cotton reminds me of a vulture circling the road kill

6. Cotton is also the malignant clown...

Cotton is also the malignant clown who wanted to institute martial law during the George Floyd protests.
