So Sinema finally did a sitdown interview. With CNN.
No questions about the filibuster or voting rights.
None on her U-turns on drug pricing & the minimum wage.
Nothing asked about her corporate donors.
Mostly softballs. No follow-ups. Painful to watch.

Wish it'd been @PamelaBrownCNN or @jaketapper.
At this point, if Sinema is agreeing to a (rare!) interview, she needs to be grilled and challenged, and the interviewer needs to bring receipts.
Sinema's BS needs to be confronted in real time.

Also, can we please stop pretending - and framing questions around this idea - that the critics of Manchin and Sinema are 'progressives' only. It's almost the entire Democratic Party. Multiple 'moderate' or 'centrist' Dems in swing seats have called out Sinema.
If anyone ever asked me what the most important thing a TV interviewer needs to do, I'd say:

She says 'folks in Arizona' multiple times. That's the moment where she should have been asked to deal with the polling showing Arizonans 1) back BBB and 2) Democratic Arizonans are souring on *her*.
