Former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) clashed with Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) and other Democrats over their shifting stance on the Senate filibuster.

Sinema criticized Ocasio-Cortez for opposing the filibuster to protect Roe v. Wade, noting a change in position among Democrats who previously advocated for its elimination.

Ocasio-Cortez expressed frustration over Senate leadership not using the filibuster when needed to block harmful GOP policies.

Sinema, highlighting inconsistencies in Democrats’ actions, pointed out that many who had voted to eliminate the filibuster didn’t use it to block the GOP-led spending bill, The Hill has reported.

The exchange underscores ongoing divisions within the Democratic Party over legislative strategy.
