(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., has been consistently fighting to keep the filibuster, effectively guarding an important guard of democracy.
This has drawn the ire of many leftists, including Stephen Colbert, who called Sinema “Mrs. Hamburglar” because she wore a striped sweater.
This isn’t comedy anymore. It’s group therapy for libs. https://t.co/DTdEFW0bbm

“Democrats hope to spend the holiday passing much-needed voting rights legislation,” Colbert said. “To do that, they need to modify the filibuster. But, that dream died last week thanks to Arizona senator and ‘Mrs. Hamburglar,’ Kyrsten Sinema.”
Colbert, who is trapped in a dead-end career shilling for leftist politicians, continued on to pontificate about how the filibuster is an “anti-democratic tool.”
He also demonstrated fundamental misunderstanding about the purpose of the filibuster, and seemed to believe that the majority should decide what is best for all.
Sinema has not publicly responded to Colbert’s lame attempts at comedy, but what makes this jab particularly petty is her history of attention to her wardrobe.
According to Insider, Sinema has consistently worn bright patterns, bold colors, sweatshirts, denim jackets, colored wigs and more shocking pieces among the sea of neutrals that have settled into Washington.
“She presided over the Senate in February in a pink shirt with red letters that said, ‘dangerous creature,'” the article continued.
Because Sinema rarely makes public comments on political issues, several outlets have taken to seeing her wardrobe as part of how she views her work.
The New York Times, Financial Times, Insider, and The New York Post have all covered Sinema’s strange style. Financial Times wrote about her style as “not following the party line.”
The New York Post, while seemingly unimpressed with a denim vest she sported in the halls of Congress, commented that while her style is unorthodox, it is more down-to-earth and can be appreciated by people who don’t wear top-of-the-line, expensive clothing.
