How does someone go from being homeless to being so callous as to deny people a living wage? What a detestable human being.
Mitch McConnell had polio as a child. Luckily he was able to recover. But the experience did absolutely nothing to create any empathy for other people for him.
She took money from the NRA (National restaurant Association) to block the $15 minimum wage
Power corrupts. She’s now high on power.
@@stonefacedmedusa5542 She’s certainly acting like shes High

“You Either Die A Hero, Or You Live Long Enough To See Yourself Become The Villain”
That's one way to say old people are evil

For Sinema it didn't take long
This comment is golden

She didn’t even make it halfway through her first term before becoming the villain 😭
There's only one good thing to come out of Kyrsten's political career: a perfect textbook example of corruption being not only legal but highly rewarding in our political system
Her story is actually tragic. Not for her. She's obviously enjoying her shoes and dresses. Money buying her off. Probably because she grew up poor. She'll always be chasing that acceptance. Inside she's that girl who went to school with the same shirt for several days in a row. She wanted to be successful on her own terms but then realized she couldn't. If one or two things would've went different she could have been a strong progressive. Her narcissism got in the way.
Nailed it but that has to end hope Arizona kicks her out.
Nailed it.
You could say this about a lot of the left.
The biggest threat to the left is affluence and the complacency it brings.
Agreed. In the end we underestimate how our past defines us. You could argue being poor makes you empathize with the poor but sometimes it causes the opposite effect where you want to distance yourself from the shame you experienced of being poor so you end up on the opposite end of the spectrum.
@@christodang well you can feel both ways but eventually you will have to make a choice as to the type of person you ultimately become.
She has experienced poverty and homelessness, but refuses to allow a living wage
@Scruffy Topaz hopefully karma will catch up with her soon
Well she survived, so... it cant be that bad.
Shes a total hypocrite.
It ain't 'her problems' no more
Why self-centered people turn me off.
She must only care about herself
I don't know how can someone who has experienced abject poverty be bought by money and forget thier principles 😪😪😪
@Scruffy Topaz why do you combine fascism with capitalism? What's one got to do with the other?
@@andreipopescu5342 Mussolini's form of Fascism
@@Clavitz1 can you be more specific? what does capitalism have to do with fascism?
@@andreipopescu5342 it's basically authoritarian capitalism. Corporations are given priority over the people.
So leaders are working on behalf of them.
@@Clavitz1 by whom?
Sounds like she got a taste for that money they _literally_ throw at politicians.
She IS on the Exxon payroll.
Shows how she doesn't have the backbone to be a real politician, but rather a regular politician
@@ManuelCruz-tn4do which means that she’s a Republicanized fool who is posing as a Democrat.😎
It's sickening how she went from being such a wonderful, promising woman, to such a corrupt, bought and paid for HACK. 🙄🤦♀️
You’re definitely the 20 year old leftist who lives in NYC off her daddy’s money🥺🥺
@@axrpad1228 hopefully she'll get beat by a primary challenger and not a Republican.
@@joaquinb700 what? ..😂😂😂
@@axrpad1228 no
Perhaps the progressive part of her career was the act.
So I am just wondering, since when did Kyrsten Sinema abandon her progressive reasoning for madness? Clearly she has only one job: wealth creation for herself and her billionaire donors.
When did she ever have any view? Some politicians are simply undiagnosed sociopaths.
As an Arizonan who voted for her based on her past and my belief in all the good she COULD HAVE DONE for my state.. I STRONGLY regret it now! She will NOT have my vote when she is up for re election. I have NEVER been so disappointed in someone I voted for. She is NOT the same person she used to be.... Not since Trump.
She won't be up for re-election, she'll be primaried.
I'm still glad that she won in 2018 I'm from Arizona too I'd rather have her than a Republican if she isn't primary I'll support her but only because I would rather her than a Republican
@@jking6736 Sure, but she's not much better. I'd almost rather have an R, because then people will stop blaming Biden, calling him incompentent, as he has a so-called trifecta. The only reason I'd rather have her, is so Rs don't have an incumbent in 2024.
Cinemas victory may have been annoying for us now but it was important it was the first major Democratic one in Arizona in years Democrats had won the governorship since I think 2000 in the last time in Arizona senator was a Democrat one was 1988 so her victory was important and it was the first in many victories to come first with Mark Kelly and in 2022 Democrats could sweep the state government
Vote for her primary challenger, her popularity is tanking in the state and that's the perfect opening for a challenger to actually beat her.
No wonder she’s Meghan McCain’s favorite senator 🙄
Makes me appreciate Bernie even more.
To my knowledge, Bernie is the only non-sellout in our current Congress.
@@explosivehotdogs Bernie voted against Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment Jobs Act and Semiconductor Microchip Science Act that Senator Sinema wrote
Well done! I wish I would've seen this before voting for her in the last election! NEVER again! 🤦🏽♀️
She put on a good show. I would have too. Never again though. That’s messed up.
Be careful next time. Don't trust the democrat party, because it has always been a right-wing party and it will never stop being a right-wing centrist party (although, the good thing about the democrat party is that it's moderate, unlike the GOP).
@@nmehr03d31 No the dems are center-left according to American politics, center-right according to world politics ('cause america is krazy conservative idk why), in the past, pre-FDR, it was far-right. It's only really a few people like Sinema and Manchin. Biden has become more progressive with his policies probs cause of Kamala and how bad he did with minorities in 2020 ... Manchin, although annoying, has good reasons to be partially conservative in voting, because Dems need the WV senate seat, and he can't keep it by voting 100% liberal ... but Sinema is in fricking Arizona. It's a swing state. Can't stand her ... 🤬🤬🤬
@@armstrongtixid6873 Well it was either her or Martha McSally, a cowardly Trump supporter. I had hope for Sinema, but I am disappointed at how she has turned out.
@@gabbym333 no ik, she lied during her campaign, I'd have done the same in less than a heartbeat. But she has shown her true colours.
A "Prada Socialist" is a great way of saying you're waiting for the right figure to be bought.
4:38 "I'll stand up to the powerful in Washington."
Oh how ironic. 🙄😔😭😭
She'll stand up and take their money.
“You either die a hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” never in the history of cinema is there a line that describes politicians so well.
The most bought woman, as long as there's money for her, she'll be your girl. Must be so satisfying in the office, can't help but wonder how much price she told her donors? Did she pay taxes too?
politicians aren't even bought off for that much. >10K are the norm. its so cheap to buy a politician these days
@@avataraangel I mean, her salary is 175K, which is large, but it's not humungous. So 10K is significant for her, (like it is for literally everyone).
@@armstrongtixid6873 You're not wrong. i just meant like in comparison the the net worth of the corporations that are buying her off, 10k to them is like so insignificant. Considering the amount of damage they can do with those 10k
@@avataraangel yh exactly ... that's what I do mean ... just 10K is already a 5% bonus for her ... and obviously she's being bribed (sorry, dOnAted to) by more than 1 corporation.
The best example of how power corrupts if you have no ethics or principles to start with. 🤷♀️
Shame on you, Sinema.
For someone who came from such conditions in life, to disregard the very needs of the people she once identified with is shameful. She sold her soul.
The Republicans have a lot of wealthy donors, and to these politicians making money is all that matters.
There should be more videos exploring who these people are. You simply just can’t take their word for it.
How much of her personal bio is hog wash too, i wanna know...
I wholeheartedly agree with you 💯.😎
What price your soul? Apparently for Sinema it's $2.3 million in campaign contributions.
0:08 THANK YOU for saying "right-leaning" instead of "moderate" because she is exactly that now! 👍👏👏
she is moderate, by American standards. right-leaning by world standards.
Alligator/Crocodile
Shes a republican, period.
Sinema's slow and gradual turn to the dark side...
Not really slow I guess. She sold out fast
@@goofygoof2446 lmao true
It was not slow, it was instantaneous.
With such a friend you don’t need an enemy.
Cut corporate taxes!!?? They should be increased!
Moving towards progressivism is easy, esp. since the country is moving left. Getting your start as a progressive is hard, esp. in such a red state. It truly boggles my mind that after making it as a progressive that she would abandon all of her hard work and principles to take the easy road.
If she truly believes that what she is doing now is for the best, she could have just started off as a conservative and things would have been much, much easier for her. She would have been an instant "poster child."
Well, if she wanted to go down in history as having one of the most baffling political careers ever, she got her wish!
You gotta remember that she was poor and she's bisexual. She was more likely to join the democrats than the GOP, but just like you said before: *getting your start as a progressive is hard, esp. in such a red state* , which is why she ended up becoming just another conservative (she just wanted to gain power).
Unfortunately this is what happens to most politicians, at the start they have good intentions and truly want to make a change.
However upon arriving in Washington they are corrupted with power and money. They lose all interest in actually making a change.
Bernie is a different politician
@@ifyano9731 Justus did say *most*.
@@ifyano9731 all day
Judging by all the contradictions, I'm not sure even Kyrsten Sinema knows who she is.
LOL she never was anything but a DINO. Mormon? Bootstraps? BYU? Come on now. That's like Conservatism 104.
It's like she's DiCaprio in The Departed, getting "kicked out" just so she could work undercover for the Progressives and try to take them down from the inside.
In her mind.
In actuality, she's Matt Damon to McConnell's Nicholson. She's shown her true colors. Send her packing.
@@Thunder-Chief Nice analogy. She also exhibits displays of modern white feminism (the TERFy, NIMBY version), where it parallels American exceptionalism at the literal expense of others. She got hers based on a tragic backstory, overcame it (bootstraps) and can't see why the rest of us haven't even tried to do so.
No, she’s a Corporate Democrat aka Republican Lite™️
Yes I believe that Mormon background is why she acts conservative. They are all that way and you cant unlearn it.
She became a High republican escort to live the life she never had. What a inspiring story 😉😂
that was a sexist comment😞
@@joaogarcia2869 Your comment is feminist 😟
@@adi5981 You did actually post a pretty sexist comment tho, really not necessary
@@CatchA_Music Your thinking of just females being escort is sexist 😂
AND she's friends with Ted Cruz -_-......
A sad shell of her former self, Kyrsten Sinema is deep down a Republican
Or just a moderate-liberal DEMOCRAT like the other 70% of the Democratic Party
She is a republican up front.
Don't call her Democrat
you can call her a democrat, just dont call her a liberal or a progressive.
In that case you shouldn’t call jfk a democrat either
@@domusdebellum3042 she voted down an increase to the minimum wage with a goofy curtsey and is a Republican darling for fighting against filibuster reform. She's not a Democrat just a shill at this point.
@@luchicholito And right wingers support fascism and autocracy what's your point
@@luchicholito I swear you're just low hanging fruit. Democrats didn't march screaming Blood and Soil and Jews will not replace us. No one cares that you deny it. Donald Trump himself used to routinely post fascist propaganda.
The devil wore Prada. Lots of ego and too little integrity is what we've got in this opportunist. Simema's thumb down gleeful negative vote while dressed (ironically) like a rich school girl was both tragic and pathetic. Her damaged psyche and shame as the poor outsider leaves her desperate to be an insider distancing herself from low-wage earners, immigrants, etc. Soulless!
This calls for an introspective night, visited by three ghosts, each showing the tragedy of her life…
I’d love that
She had the nerve to ask me for a donation; I marked her email as spam.
Who Is Kyrsten Sinema? : A corporate sell out
I like how she said “thanks to America she was able to get back up” but it was America that brought her down
Kyrsten was employed at Happy Hands Spa during the late 90's. She had a few regulars. Most are currently serving in Congress.
Sold her one SOUL for the almighty dollar.
Yes. The video explains it all.
So many people (from the working class, immigrant families, and the poor) worked so hard to help her get where she is now. And all it took for her to abandon her constituents and her convictions was a few million dollars in PAC contributions.
Great job narrating, Grace
7:30 EVERY LARGE POLITICAL CONTRIBUTION SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A BRIBE, JUST LOOK AT WHAT THEY TURNED SINEMA INTO!!
MONEY OUT OF POLITICS NOW!!!! 😤😤😤😤
Money and love just tastes too good when you’ve never had it, and now being showered in it by corporates who want to use you for their own means.
She's the living embodiment of how noble goals get distorted and corrupted by power and money.
1:58 Welp that aged well, the bribery part
lol on point!
Great, thank you for having the guts to bring it as it is. 👍👏👏
Wow! That was enlightening because I've basically always thought of her as a conservative. I did not realize how drastically different she was just a couple years ago
When she called herself a “centrist” and supported many of Trumps policies thats when I knew she sold out.
I admit I am young and had the wool pulled over my eyes with Sinema. I should have known with how frequently she talked about her ‘boot straps’ type story instead of policies she wasn’t serious. She was elected with a negative net worth due to student debt, and I am curious of her current net worth only a few years in.
I won’t be voting for her again.
In other words, "I'm a sell-out, and I don't care that you figured it out."
People should be able to recall a senator if he or she betrays them !
This was so sad. Maybe she was traumatised by her childhood and worried her past may repeat itself. Or maybe she just fell prey to corporate donors😔.
I can't say that I am surprised. That makes me sad.😒
She has changed immensely, she is no democrat .
The fact that she rarely does interview says a lot about her and what she’s trying to hide.
Power corrupts...
Who is Sinema? Someone you don't want on your side when things really matter, apparently.
Walking around in Prada Heels voting against a living wage. She might actually be the devil 👠
she is the poster child for how one gets to DC and abandones everything they claim they ever stood for.
she'd better enjoy her 15 minutes while they last, because she's a gaurranteed '1 termer'. she's going to regret going against her party & her constituents.
Yep ... she'll get primaried, and if she doesn't (somehow), she'll lose the general election. The Dem base can't stand her, and people will either not vote or just vote 3rd party, and Rs, although they kinda like her, will still vote for a R candidate a million times without hesitation. She'd get landslided.
@@armstrongtixid6873 spot on. if Congressman Reuben Gallego enters the primary, she's 'dead meat'.
I regretfully voted for her. She started off amazing and now the Republican Party is using her as 🧻. Keeping the Democrats from eliminating the Filibuster. I can’t wait to vote her out now!
100 pairs of shoes!! I have two and it’s enough
Thanks for the post. A brave and true patriot.
She only cares about keeping her job not the American people.
That's every politician
👸Kyrsten Let Them Eat Cake Sinema🎂
It's amazing what happened in Haiti isn't commonplace in the states. They already seem to be used to crossing every line they have. I would not be surprised if American politicians went full GOT one day
There’s hardly a better real-life example of someone falling to the Dark Side
I think it's completely possible that Kyrsten Sinema is genuinely becoming more and more conservative as time goes on. She might even switch parties at some point.
In short: Kyrsten Sinema Sold Out
This is what we call in the biz, a grifter. The ultimate slang title in politics.
She became a corporatist. She enjoys being the "centrist" and all the attentions. The wealth and trapping of being a corporatist is going to overwhelm many people.
Not uncommon for children of hardship and/or trauma, when paired with intelligence and ambition, to develop a callous, mercenary and ruthless life mission to prove their worth and importance. There doesn't seem to be a lie they won't tell, a promise they won't break, a group or individual they won't abandon in their quest. No matter what anyone says or thinks about her, she is never going back to that gas station.
Kyrsten sold her soul.
She didn't 'evolve', she flat-out sold out. Money, especially in large quantities, does weird things to people. So does the illusion of power. So sad to see someone who actually had a good, generous, compassionate mind-set, turn around and take a dump on the people who literally believed in her, and helped her achieve her goals.
She’s a senator whom now represents lobbyists.
Hope you are watching Arizona 👀...
This was a pretty great summary, and exactly what I needed, but the ending seemed as though it was stopped mid sentence.
She sold her constituents out for shoes
I wonder what her purchase price was once she got into the senate.
Thank you for this
As a former Arizonan who might be homeless I still support Sinema
IF YOU CAN'T BEAT EM JOIN EM 😩😫
Sinema is an enigma wrapped in garbage. Niccce.
This was a powerful tragic story.
Love the work done here on Now This Who is? Segments. Is Lauren Boebert next?
This is depressing
abhorrent character you have right there!
Good job. Thank You for the information
“I don’t believe on taking money,that is bribery” integrity seems to have gone out the window
This women LOVES money...You can obviously see the difference from videos before her winning the Senate race and after winning the race
Wow, what a disturbing character!!! The only positive to this story is she isn't the trump,ring kissing Mcsally! How could a character with a history like that, Pat Mconnal On the back and then vote to keep a wage level at a grotesque low!! I hope she gets pushed out of her seat by a genuine And decent person!
7:46 "...taken the time to learn and grow..."
The word you're looking for is "metastasize"
Mark my words, her first and last term as a U.S. Senator
Democrats need to win more seats in the senate and make Sinema and Manchin irrelevant. Enough is enough with these two sellouts.
At 3:50 she flashes what appears to be a modified White-power hand sign. Am I mistaken?
I wouldn't read that much into it. There's enough hard evidence that she's betraying her constituency without resorting to this kind of speculation. Not that you couldn't be right, just that I don't think we want our argument against her to be that diffuse. Whether she thinks of herself as a white supremacist or not, her voting record is pro-imperialism, anti-immigrant, anti-worker, and anti-poor. Don't see much in there a self-described white supremacist would object to.
@@IwasateenageWilson Excellent comment!
you are mistaken, yes
@@IwasateenageWilson The most thoughtful, well thought out and intelligent response I think I've ever gotten!
Who is feeling her pokets now? What a turn of moral. She turned in a very ambitious woman. She has to run as a Republican.
Switching parties is a huge deal. Especially going from an independent or a Green to a Democrat. It’s a demonstration of a sacrifice of your values at the alter of power.
I sincerely hope you will RIGHTFULLY drag her through the mud, as she was just praised by supposedly her opposition, Republican senators for blocking filibuster reform, and other substantial reforms such as $ 15/hr min wage, etc. I swear if this is a prop piece I'm done with Now This.
@@OnlyLyricsMatter if nothing in our political system changes, if money isn't taken out of politics, she'll never HAVE TO regret her choices.
10:14 "Sinema's political transformation seems complete. She's been able to advance her political career through gravitating towards what's important to the American people..."
WHAT?? That is the EXACT OPPOSITE of what she did?? Wtf how can you end on that conclusion???? 😳😳😳😤😤
At least make it clear she only PRETENDS to gravitate towards what's important to the American people. Now you made it seem she REALLY does that, when she does the EXACT OPPOSITE, like voting down 15/hr min wage, voting for Wall Street deregulation,... UGH 😩😫😤😤
You had a good segment going and it got ruined right at the end. I can't understand.
This isn’t journalism. This is a progressive hit piece.
@Nicholas Isgar and what proof do you have that prove this to be a “hit piece”?
Give me evidence on the contrary lol.
Now do Nancy Pelosi, her Insider Trading. 🙌
