Joe Biden doesn’t get Kyrsten Sinema and she doesn’t get him back. That appears to be the major takeaway from a new book billed as the first major account of the Biden administration.

Snippets from This Will Not Pass, from New York Times reporters Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns, reported by Axios, include that the Democratic Arizona senator was the first-ever lawmaker to object when White House aides asked her to mask up for a meeting with the president (she said she’d already been vaccinated).

The book also is said to report that Sinema went out of her way to mock Biden at a fundraiser with mostly Republican lobbyists while praising Republican Andy Biggs (“I love Andy Biggs!”) despite the Arizona rep’s strong backing of Donald Trump’s Big Lie.

“One person close to the president likened Biden’s perplexity at Sinema to his difficulty grasping his grandchildren’s use of... TikTok,” the authors write. “He wanted to relate, but he just didn’t quite get it.”

1. And Sadly We Have To Kiss Her & Manchin's Asses

They're all that stand between Schumer being Majority Leader, and Turtle being it.

2. Been kinda 'nice' not seeing her name recently.

3. She was also friends with Russell Pearce

The sponsor of SB 1070.

She also told Biden not to come to Arizona to tout the American Rescue Plan. I voted for Biden and so did Arizona so he has a right to come here.

4. What's there to "get" about a social media platform?

You either say, "Oh, that's nice" and learn to use it or say, "That's nice, but I'll leave it to you."

Any one with a somewhat important job has to budget their time to do their job well, and being president is damn important and a 24-hour job so I give Joe Biden a pass on worrying about TikTok.

Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, Facebook, WhatsApp...I don't need a president taking time to learn and be fluent in all the latest apps. I need him figuring out how to stop Putin, inflation and evil, Putin worshiping republicans.

Didn't we get enough or trump on Twitter? And aren't we glad he's not on it anymore?

5. I think the article is mainly about Sinema

No one said there was a problem with Biden not understanding why his grandchildren like Tik Toc. It was just a comparison to Biden not understanding Sinema.

11. Thank you

I feel the same. I don't use tik tok, and don't give a shit about it, frankly.

6. I despise that woman.

I can't wait until her arrogant ass is voted out of office.

7. She seems to think she is a shoo-in for re-election. She apparently has not looked at many polls.

9. I am a little worried about her constituents.

Most of them seem to be as brain-damaged as she is. I hope you are right about the polls. I honestly don't know how anyone could support such a horrible excuse for a human being.

10. She was 50 points underwater with AZ Democratic voters the last I saw

12. Good to know!

People are catching on!

8. She's also trolling for GOP cash.

Shameful.
