The thing that’s important to understand about interviews like this is that you don’t actually have to take them at face value. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a softball, or whether you think Sinema is a loon or corrupt or whatever.
What matters is that it gives us a window into the story she tells herself. Every person thinks they’re the hero of their own story, and that goes double for politicians. Hearing that story direct from the horse’s mouth can tell you a lot.
Thanks. I used to like Slate, back in the day. The few articles from The Atlantic that I have read were very good.
Sorry to say that I can't afford The Atlantic. I did find a story https://jewishinsider.com/2023/04/sen-kyrsten-sinema/ . Does any of this parallel The Atlantic?
Well what do you think her story is? And is it close to the political reality?
