Two men interrupted former Sen. Kyrsten Sinema during a panel discussion last week to claim they were having an affair with her — days after she was hit with a bombshell lawsuit by the ex-wife of her former bodyguard, who accused Sinema of breaking up their marriage.
Sinema (I-Ariz.) and Republican Utah Gov. Spencer Cox were discussing politics, the economy and the tech sector at a Salt Lake City hotel when the disruptions took place this past Friday.
The panelists had just raised the topic of Sinema’s alma mater, Brigham Young University, whose mascot is a cougar, prompting the former Democrat to crack that “I get called that a lot.”
At that moment, a man rose to his feet and loudly proclaimed, “Ladies and gentlemen, I have a confession to make: I am actually having an affair with Kyrsten Sinema,” the Salt Lake Tribune reported.
