Police: Kyrsten Sinema intentionally went into a bathroom to dodge activists filming her at ASU

The Democratic senator told police she thought it was a crime for them to film her in the bathroom, and still does


On the morning of Oct. 3, Sen. Kyrsten Sinema gave her students in an advanced fundraising class at Arizona State University a break. She stepped out of the classroom to go move her car to another location near the downtown Phoenix campus, but instead found a group of four activists waiting to talk to her.

As the four organizers recorded the confrontation on their phone, Sinema didn’t stop to listen to the activists, some of whom had shown up to her Phoenix office months earlier to ask to meet with her. Sinema ignored them and, instead of going to move her car as planned, she made her way to a nearby bathroom.

The move was intentional and calculated: Sinema told ASU police she intentionally went into the bathroom because she believed that recording someone inside a bathroom is a crime, Sgt. Katie Fuchtman wrote in a police report the Arizona Mirror obtained under the state’s public records law. The senator’s comments in it have not been reported on before now.

“Sinema stated this was not her first time being approached in this way and that is why she entered the bathroom, knowing it was illegal for someone to record another person inside the bathroom,” Fuchtman wrote.

I am so tired of the obsession with Sinema and Manchin. They are not going to get on board with Biden's agenda. Time to move on and elect more Democrats.

I only agree because she is a public servant and the fact that we will all have to live like that if the wingnuts are let loose upon society with no controls at all. There will be more gun deaths, not less, as well. So if she thinks the world will be the same if she gets her way, she's truly delusional.
