A Republican who is accused of shaming Arizona Sen. KyrstenSinema is not apologizing.
Alabama State Auditor Jim Zeigler has said that he stands by his Facebook meme that mocked
the senator for her apparel, Yahoo News reported.
At a Monday press conference, the 70-year-old fashion critic answered questions about his
policing of Arizona's first female senator's outfit: a pink-and-purple dress with beige,
thigh-high boots, which he published in a Facebook post on Saturday.
Zeiger posted Sinema's image to his professional Facebook page with the quote, "What newly
elected AZ Democrat Senator KyrstenSinema wore to work."
The caption reads, "Who is that Senator who accompanied new Arizona Senator KrystenSinema
(D) as the senator took the Senate floor?
No one seemed to notice.
You can see him in this photo and others.
He represents these out-of-state senators instead of us, the people of Alabama.
Can you see him?
I am exploring running against him next year.
Who is it?"
The commissioner's post was an unforeseen endorsement of Sinema, 42, the country's
first openly bisexual congresswoman.
Followers called him "sad, pathetic" and "insecure."
Other remarks read, "I'm a little concerned by how obsessed you are about a woman wearing
thigh high boots and a mini skirt" and "Do you really belong in government?
You sound like a high-schooler for which every class is DRAMA class."
On Monday, the official explained to reporters that he was actually trying to slam an Alabama
Democratic senator, his potential opponent in the 2020 Senate elections.
"In the picture, you can see Alabama Sen. Doug Jones," Zeigler said, referring to
a blurry image of Jones at the bottom of the photo.
"Now, I have a collection I'm building of Doug Jones photos.
… the wording of my post was Doug Jones does not represent the people of Alabama,
he represents the out-of-state senators.
And continue to draw that distinction."
Zeigler said it was a mistake to post the photo ahead of his press conference.
When a reporter asked if it was acceptable for Zeigler's followers to call Sinema a
"prostitute" and a "stripper," he responded, "No it's not," but that it
was impossible to delete every single negative comment.
The reporter asked Zeigler whether he later edited his Facebook comments and he admitted
to deleting the words "Inappropriate attire."
However, according to the Alabama Political Reporter, Zeiger also deleted a sentence calling
Sinema an "out-of-state looney tune."
Sieger should not have to apologize for how Sinema dressed.
Other joined the bandwagon saying she dressed like a stripper and hooker.
Someone please tell KyrstenSinema that she looks like a hooker in these thigh high boots
on the Senate floorPlease enjoy this selection from our Business/Hooker Collection.

I guess we should be happy it's not a pink tutu
KyrstenSinema, Senator from Arizona looks more like she's in search of a stripper pole,
than the Senate Floor.
SMH!
She's a disgrace!
What's next Senator Sinema, Democrat-Arizona?
Stripper poles on the House and Senate floors?
Can we get a dress code in our houses of congress please?
When you gotta go directly from The Club for your shift on the stripper pole right after
your job in the U.S. Senate.
That's one of the 2 new senators from Arizona, Democrat KyrstenSinema
