By the time the bill was up for debate during a marathon series of votes, Sinema had already forced Democrats to abandon their carried interest tax increase.
“Senator Sinema said she would not vote for the bill .. unless we took it out,” Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer told reporters last week. “We had no choice.”
I mean he could at least dress it up a little bit and pretend like they’re even trying to stop this shit. “We had no choice” is exactly what you’d say if you were in on it or had a choice. Recall that it wasn’t long before this when he gave a statement saying they had no idea if she was on board and hadn’t talked to her. Yeah super believable turn of events.
