JUST IN: Kyrsten Sinema has left DC amid negotiations. Her spokesman says it’s for a doctor’s appointment “for a foot injury.” But a hotel just confirmed she will be at her PAC’s retreat with donors for cocktails and dinner at a high-end resort and spa in Phoenix. (@nytimes)

- New York Times, October 1, 2021 – Sinema, a holdout on the social spending bill, returns to Arizona for a doctor’s visit and a scheduled fund-raiser.
Where? The Royal Palms Resort
“A small group gathered Saturday night in front of the Royal Palms Resort in central Phoenix. They want the senator to support Biden’s big spending bill.” 1
Spokesman Said Medical Appointment
“Senator’s spokesman John LaBombard said on Friday, “Senator Sinema is in Phoenix at the moment, where she currently has a medical appointment for her broken foot, and where she continues remote negotiations with the White House. Before leaving Washington for Arizona, she offered It White House times for continued long-distance negotiations. ”” 2
Did She Lie?
“However, there is at least one Democrat who has clapped her hands and walked away. Arizona Senator Kyrsten Sinema has flown back to her home. While that surprised some onlookers, as she is one of those who has refused to sign off on the $3.5T price tag, her office said she had a very good reason. According to Brian Tyler Cohen, a Sinema spokesperson said she needed to go back to Arizona for a doctor’s appointment. The representative further claimed she has a foot injury. However, Cohen also claimed that at the very least, a doctor’s appointment isn’t the only reason she’s head out of DC during this pivotal time.” 3
Sinema’s Staff Mocked Hispanic Protestors at Resort
“Three years after their sprawling grassroots operation helped carry Kyrsten Sinema over the electoral finish line, members of the progressive Hispanic activist group LUCHA stood at the back exit of the Royal Palms Resort in Scottsdale on Saturday night, attempting to score a few moments with the first-term senator as she left a high-dollar fundraiser put on by corporate lobbyists. Instead, they were forced to leave by aggressive police and security guards as Sinema’s staff watched and mocked them from afar. The confrontation ensured that they would once again go home without getting to speak with Sinema, whose decision to continue her wine-soaked evening with millionaires sent a clear message to her one-time supporters.” 4
