Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) says she doesn’t believe “that DC solutions are realistic” for stopping massacres like yesterday’s in Uvalde, Texas.
NBC’s Jake Sherman said Sinema stopped reporters outside the Senate chamber because she “had something to say.”
“This is rare” for her, he added.
Sherman asked if Sinema would be willing to “set aside” the filibuster to force some kind of gun control measure through the evenly divided Senate. Her fellow Democrat Senator, Jon Tester of Montana, waited mere hours after Tuesday night’s slaughter to press for universal background check legislation. “Come on guys, kids got killed yesterday for Christ’s sakes,” he told colleagues this morning.
But Sinema isn’t having any of it.
“I’m going to start having conversations again with colleagues on both sides of the aisle,” she told reporters today, “to determine whether or not there’s something we can actually do to help increase safety and protect kids.”
“Both sides of the aisle” indicates that whatever gun control measure might be considered, it had better have bipartisan support. That means the filibuster stays put.

A lot of moonbats have moved into the state.
I call him Jon Testes-less.
I agree, she is not grandstanding for applause at liberal parties and in liberal columns.
Well she better get herself some bodyguards because the rabid Lunatics they’re gonna hunt her down! If I was her I would be caring just to make sure. So I guess the cat is out of the bag. This is not about gun control this is about eliminating the filibuster. They’re going to continue to push this all the way to November because they know the Fix is in . They want to stack the courts and the only thing keeping them from doing it is a little pesky thing called the filibuster.
Won’t Bust Filibuster
“Is this some kind of a bust?”
Precisely what I was thinking. WTF is up with Montana?
That crazy bisexual chick isn't half bad. She was a real surprise. She was invovled in code pink movement in her younger days.
Yeah I’m fairly impressed with Sinema and if she wins in 2024, I won’t mind really unless it would change the balance of power.
Agreed. In a way, we are giving them a taste of their medicine. All those years of using McCain against us. Now we can "use" Sinema and return the favor to them.
