Then, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) announced that she was leaving the Democratic party and turning into an independent. Democratic lawmakers, including Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), took to Twitter to mock the senator’s decision.
The action was reminiscent of the dunking Republicans did on each other after the midterm elections and brings up the question of whether Democrats are starting their own infighting with a senator they may still need to pass legislation.
