The Arizona Democrat has faced backlash at home and among progressives for her moves against Biden’s domestic agenda. Faiz Shakir, an adviser to Senate Budget Chairman Bernie Sanders, tweeted that Sinema “gives corporate influences great access” and questioned “how much time in her schedule has Sen. Sinema reserved for open, public meetings with her constituents?” Sawyer Hackett, the executive director of former HUD Secretary Julián Castro’s People First Future, responded to Sinema’s fundraising event by accusing the senator of “using the reconciliation fight to collect $5,800 checks from corporate PACs opposing the bill? Each of these PACs overwhelmingly support Republicans over Democrats.” And as MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow said on Monday night’s show in response to the Times fundraiser scoop: “This is the overlap in the Venn diagram between ‘Oh, that explains everything’ and ‘Wow, tone-deaf much.’”

However, Sinema has gained a new faction of supporters on the right in light of her clash with the White House. On Monday, Fox Business host Larry Kudlow praised Sinema for opposing Biden’s corporate tax hikes. “Now, that is my kind of gal,” said Kudlow, who served as Trump’s top economic adviser. “I don’t know what the Democratic leaders think they’re going to do with her…. Now that’s like the old Democratic Party of John F. Kennedy or even Bill Clinton’s second term, completely different than today’s woked-up class warfare, ‘I hate business and investment,’ big government socialist Dems.” Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade also gave Sinema props for standing in the way of Biden’s “socialist agenda” and claiming that she is being harassed for it. “If you don’t get your way, if you don’t vote their way, they will harass you now,” he said.
