Ruben Gallego says Kyrsten Sinema is 'all about herself' and 'doesn't care about working class peopl

In an interview with Politico's Ryan Lizza, Gallego said he's still weighing whether challenging Sinema would be good for the Arizona Democratic Party, which, he added, Sinema doesn't care about.

(Snip)

Gallego then turned his fire on Sinema, alleging that the senior Democratic senator from Arizona is "not here that often" and is "not going to be out here stumping for Democrats."

"She's all about herself," Gallego said. "She's not going to help Mark. She's not going to help Katie Hobbs or whoever the Democrat is [in the governor's race]. It's all about herself."

"It's just like she cares about herself," he added. "She doesn't care about the Democratic movement. She doesn't care about working class people."

She is a freaking social worker. Not that social workers are particularly wonderful people, but seriously, you don't go into social work to get rich. You don't typically go into social work to get famous. People typically go into social work because they want to help people.

She is a long way from the ethics and principles of social work.

she grew up poor, at least the way she tells her story.

How could anyone who grew up poor ever turn their back on the poor and champion the wealthy?

It just doesn't make any damned sense!

Her being possibly challenged IS News. Her not giving a damn about others is obvious to anyone watching even a little. We just need 4 or 5 more senators to counter her and Manchin. Maybe more. I personally would love to see those two gone.
