MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell wrote, "Sinema delivers the Senate's stupidest speech by a Democrat in an edge-of-tears voice to give childish words a melodramatic effect." Onetime MSNBC host Keith Olbermann tweeted that Sinema "Needs to resign or be removed from office immediately. [She] has become a menace to the continuation of American democracy." MSNBC's Malcolm Nance went further and said Sinema's staff should "Resign at the shame of being handmaidens to the death of Democracy."
The president, who once insisted he would be the nation's unifier, has discovered the license of rage politics - the same license shown by those who chased Sinema into a bathroom last year.
After Sinema's floor speech, American Civil Liberties Union staffer Sarah Michelsen was thrilled to see Sinema close to tears and encouraged activists to "Keep going" with the attacks because they are "Breaking her."
Some Democrats were quick to promise that Sinema had just ended her career; CNN's Joe Lockhart wrote, "Probably more accurate to refer to her as former Senator Sinema." Her speech was, in that sense, reminiscent of another courageous senator, Edmund Ross of Kansas, one of seven Republicans who voted to acquit then-President Andrew Johnson in 1868.
According to the Liberal pundits, Sinema is no Romney.
Sinema's speech was denounced by those who insist that bipartisanship is a "Myth" in the age of rage.
Sinema made herself a reference point that exposed how unhinged many of her fellow Democrats have become.
