Sen. Sinema denounces immigration activists who followed her into restroom.
WASHINGTON - Democratic Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, of Arizona, says it was unacceptable activists filmed her and students at Arizona State University on Sunday using the restroom and it was"wholly inappropriate."
“In the 19 years I have been teaching at ASU, I have been committed to creating a safe and intellectually challenging environment for my students," said Sinema, in a statement on Monday."Yesterday, that environment was breached. My students were unfairly and unlawfully victimized." On Sunday, a video circulated on the Twitter account of Living United for Change in Arizona, or LUCHA, an immigration reform advocacy group, shows activists following Sinema on her way out of a classroom at ASU where she teaches. After she declines to speak to them, they follow her into a bathroom.
The activist can be heard telling Sinema about a grandparent who was deported. In the video, Sinema does not engage with the activists and is seen exiting a stall and washing her hands.
