“History will remember Senator Sinema unkindly. While Sen. Sinema remains stubborn in her 'optimism,' Black and Brown Americans are losing their right to vote.
“She’s siding with the legacy of Bull Connor and George Wallace instead
of the legacy of my father and all those who fought to make real our
democracy.” -- Martin Luther King III, today on back- stabbing Sen. Kyrsten Sinema's refusal to change the Senate filibuster to pass voting rights legislation. Shortly after Sinema's betrayal, fellow back- stabber Sen. Joe Manchin announced he also would not vote "to weaken or eliminate the filibuster." Their rationales are so preposterous that a question remains, "Who bought them off?"
The response from the President and the Democratic Party should be commensurate with the gravity of their betrayal of our democracy. Especially on the eve of the Martin Luther King holiday, anything less is unacceptable.
Take the gloves off.
