In February 2003, appearing on a radio show hosted by a local libertarian activist the day before an anti-war event that was protesting U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, Krysten Sinema, who is running in 2018 as the Democratic Party’s candidate for the Arizona Senate, told the host, Ernest Hancock, that she didn’t care if Americans wanted to fight for the Taliban.
