“In comments to supporters 11 years ago, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) criticized the ‘false pressure’ to reach a 60-vote supermajority to pass legislation,” Insider reports.
“Sinema, an Arizona state representative at the time, told the audience that she supported Democrats using reconciliation to pass major legislation, including healthcare reform, with just 51 votes. She also criticized Sen. Joe Lieberman, an independent from Connecticut who caucused with the Democratic Party, and Sen. Bill Nelson, a Florida Democrat, for being too moderate.”
