the last book I ever read (This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future, excerpt twelve)

from This Will Not Pass: Trump, Biden, and the Battle for America's Future by Jonathan Martin and Alexander Burns:

To the delight of her audience, Sinema sounded more like a Republican as she went on: “Arizonans don’t like taxes, and we don’t really like government. We love our country. And we love our military. And that’s about where it ends.”

Had Sinema’s Democratic colleague been in the room, they might have been startled to hear her speaking warmly about several House Republicans whom Democrats regarded as among the worst of Donald Trump’s henchmen.

Kevin McCarthy and Steve Scalise, she said, were “friends of mine.” Andy Biggs, a far-right lawmaker from Arizona who had peddled outrageous lies about the 2020 election, was a “dear friend.”

“I love Andy Biggs,” Sinema said. “I know some people think he’s crazy, but that’s just because they don’t know him.”
