An undercover investigation by Project Veritas Action Fund reveals that while many supporters and campaign staffers of Democratic Rep. Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) believe she is “very liberal” and “progressive,” she has been campaigning as a centrist to make herself appear more electable to moderate voters in Arizona.

Sinema doesn’t “want to draw too much attention to being progressive,” Lauren Fromm, a campaign field organizer, told one of the undercover reporters from Project Veritas Action (PVA) who had embedded themselves in Sinema’s campaign.
