She's not being ambushed by activists, she's being asked by her actual constituents to listen to them. If she'd meet with them, they wouldn't have to try to talk to her in the bathroom.

[linkzelda]

She ambushed the reconciliation bill with her rich friends.

Sinema hasn’t held a town hall meeting in THREE years. Her constituents can’t get her on the telephone, and Sinema doesn’t respond to emails or regular mail. This news report makes it sound like these are just progressive activists. 🤨. One of the women who followed Sinema into the bathroom said she campaigned for Sinema by knocking on doors and wanted to know why she wasn’t doing what she promised? Sinema doesn’t meet with her constituents, but she has plenty of time to meet with donors who are against the 3.5 trillion reconciliation bill. 🤨. Sinema has not explained why she is obstructing the bill and has been playing coy and cute with the media. Sinema recently voted down a bill that would lower prescription drug prices. SHE RAN ON LOWERING DRUG 🙄. Sinema is the most craven, cynical, and corrupt politician there is. She deserves no consideration or respect. 🤨🤨🤨.

What's "wholly inappropriate" is that Sinema standing up for the lobbiest is not for the American people

[TheErnie]

It's almost as if money in politics affect s her vote, she ran as a progressive, but now she is blocking progressive policy, how much did you sell out for ?

[clod]

Stop calling her a moderate. She’s a conservative.

[brandons]

She must be stopped for taking corporate money from her owner donors

[shanewade]

If you senator's cave over this kiss your career goodbye. Stand up for the people who elected you

[Keepupthecardio]

Following people into a bathroom isn't cool

[milesglenn]

This is probably just gonna push her further right, lmao

[hiridavidfeign]

"It's terrible to follow someone into a bathroom and here's the video."

[mattbiz]

Anyone who thinks following anyone into the bathroom to protest is "normal" and ok, no matter what side is doing it, is a deranged lunatic. The bathroom people should be arrested as I'm pretty sure it is against the law to film inside a bathroom.

[robertoacevedo]

Call out corruption when you clearly see it! She took money from Pharmaceutical Companies now she won't budge on those provisions. Hello!!!!

[arturoalamos]

Don't pass the bill. As a Mexican American we don't claim those people that stalks people around, especially in the bathrooms.

[jaybush]

How about she give a speech or speak to press about her views. She’ll likely face fewer people following her. I’ve never heard this woman speak.

[macdaddyalexis]

The shame is having to chance these crooks around to get them to act in the people's interest.

[gterschluse]

You mean approached by citizens expressing their constitutional rights by asking their elected representatives questions

[mj]

Pity it wasn’t a proper Medieval ambush.

[jerryeskridge]

In the U.S. Constitution both a right to have freedom of speech, petition and protest peacefully ...🇺🇲

[portlandia]

Stop calling them activists. These are harrassers. Unreal, stop protecting this kind of behavior.
