Kyrsten Sinema Sparks Sartorial Debate By Wearing Denim Vest In Senate Chamber
The outfit Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) wore to preside over the United States Senate has caused quite the debate.
Sinema, already causing controversy in her party for refusing to back President Joe Biden’s infrastructure bill — among other mandates, turned heads for sporting a denim jacket in the Senate chamber on Tuesday.
The senator was roundly criticized by those on the left, some simply mocking the outfit choice while others noted that the dress code requires lawmakers to be “appropriately dressed” when on the floor.

I hate to go after Sinema for her clothes when there’s so much legitimate stuff to attack but that vest is truly awful.

If they can go after a tan suit, it is right and proper that we talk about Kyrsten Sinema’s denim vest. https://t.co/UGVk6IB16Y

People can wear what they want but why does Kyrsten Sinema always dress like it’s the first day of middle school and she is wearing clothes she begged her parents for only to be mocked by everyone?

Wearing a denim vest into the Senate is inexcusable. I’d criticize anybody, male or female, who showed that kind of disrespect for the institution.

I really don’t care that @SenatorSinema wore a denim vest, though I really thought it would at least have been bedazzled, but what I do care about is her flippant disregard for what the majority of Americans want and her direct involvement in impeding the passage of the damn bill

Others, however, actually found the vest “hip.”
