Senators Mitt Romney and Kyrsten Sinema face backlash for their Ted Lasso "cosplay"

The Daily Beast

Romney dressing up as Coach Lasso and Sinema portraying cold-hearted owner Rebecca Welton for Halloween was met with criticism since it came amid negotiations to pass President Biden's signature social spending package. Some compared Romney's tweets to a porn parody of Ted Lasso. One political reporter noted that Sinema was "playing a character who tries to tank her own team," which she's been accused of doing with the Democratic plan. Meanwhile, Romney tweeted: "After 10 years, I’m finally returning the favor. How was my @TedLasso, @JasonSudeikis?" The @TedLasso Twitter account and @JasonSudeikis -- which never tweets -- have yet to respond to Romney.
