On Saturday evening, Alabama State Auditor Jim Ziegler posted photos of Arizona Democratic Sen. Krysten Sinema on his public Facebook page, prompting a heated discussion in the comments section about the senator’s attire.

Ziegler, a Republican in his second term as state auditor, posted the photos on his public “Jim Ziegler State Auditor” page, and shared it to his personal Facebook page.

The photo caption: “What newly elected AZ democrat senator wore to work.”

Some commenters made remarks comparing Sinema’s clothing to an exotic dancer or prostitute. Zeigler has not responded to those comments specifically.

Other commenters expressed anger that Ziegler was shaming the senator for her clothing and said it was inappropriate for Ziegler to have posted the photos.

In earlier versions of Zeigler’s post he said Sinema “took the floor improperly attired." That phrase was later removed, and Ziegler did not directly comment on Sinema’s attire – a dress and tall boots – but instead mused about the male senator who he said “accompanied” Sinema as she took the floor of the U.S. Senate. Sen. Doug Jones, D-Alabama, is visible in the bottom corner of one of the photos.

“He represents these out-of-state senators instead of us, the people of Alabama,” Ziegler wrote on the Facebook post. “Can you see him? I am exploring running against him next year.”

Zeigler is known in Alabama for attention-grabbing and divisive statements. He made national headlines during the 2016 special Senate election for comparing then-candidate Roy Moore’s alleged relationships with teenage girls to the marriage of teenage Mary and Joseph in the Bible.

Ziegler has not yet returned AL.com’s request for comment.

Sinema was elected to the U.S. Senate as a Democrat in 2018 and became the first openly bixsexual person to serve in the Senate. Previously, she served in the U.S. House of Representatives. She has made headlines in the past for less conventional clothing choices.
