Surprising headline, indeed.
Senator Bernie Sanders had recently proposed that the $15-an-hour federal minimum wage increase should stay in the Covid-19 relief plan currently being discussed, which would amount to $1.9 billion dollars as it stands.
Arizona Democratic Senator Krysten Sinema joined a few other democrats who sided with Republicans against Sanders' proposal, which lead to a rejection by the Senate: 58-42.
But is this why she's being referred to as 'Marie Antoinette' on social media? Not exactly. According to
AZCentral.com, "she literally carried a cake to the Senate when she voted against" the proposal.
That combined with her little curtsy as she "thumbs downed" the proposal probably did it, though.
