Democrat Arizona Senator Krysten Sinema who is one of the two Democrat Senators standing in the way of Joe Biden’s massive spending plan, Build Back Better did an interview with CNN’s Congressional Correspondent Lauren Fox on Thursday.
During the interview, Fox tried to ask the Senator for her version of the bill if she had to pass it. To which Sinema responded with “…I’m not going to do that with you”
At an earlier point in this interview, Fox asked the Democrat Senator if she is going to vote on the Build Back Better bill, to which Sen. Sinema responded with “…I’m always prepared to vote and to vote for what’s right for the interests of Arizona. I personally believe that the best way to create legislation is to be thoughtful and careful so that we’re crafting legislation that truly represents the interests that we want to achieve and that creates a benefit and helps people all across Arizona and the country. So, that’s what I’m working on right now.”
Fox followed up with another gotcha question and asked for Sinema’s version of the bill if she were to vote for it. Sinema again responded with a savage answer: “Well, folks know I don’t negotiate in the press. I’m not going to do that with you.”
Sinema has previously made clear that she is not going to support raising the corporate tax rate by a single point. However, Joe Biden and the Democrats have made this raising corporate tax a key part of this bill. Sinema told CNN, “people back home in Arizona know that I am committed to ensuring that any legislation we pass retains America’s competitiveness. So I won’t support any legislation that increases burdens on Arizonan or American businesses and decreases our ability to compete either domestically or globally. So, I want to be sure that if we are crafting legislation, we’re doing it in a lean and efficient way that’s fiscally responsible and doesn’t impact things like inflation or make our businesses less competitive.”
Sending a clear message to the Biden administration that under her watch, there will be no corporate tax increase in any of their proposals.
