As the chorus condemning President Trump’s derogatory comments about four Democratic congresswomen grew louder Tuesday, Arizona Democrat Kyrsten Sinema stayed quiet.
The senator does not comment or react to the president’s tweets, spokeswoman Hannah Hurley told the Arizona Mirror.
Hurley pointed to comments Sinema made in March in the wake of Trump’s Twitter attacks in March against the late Sen. John McCain.
“Everyone in the country keeps taking the bait that the president gives every day,” Sinema told EJ Montini, a columnist for The Arizona Republic who criticized Sinema for not standing up to Trump at the time. “I actually think it is a real problem.”
Responding to the president’s tweets is “beneath us” and detracts from more important work, Sinema added in March.
