(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., was once again publicly harassed due to her lack of support for key elements of Joe Biden’s $3.5 trillion government spending bill, the Western Journal reported.
On a plane to Washington, DC, on Monday, a woman referred to as “Karina”—and identified as a recipient of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals privileges—confronted Sinema about opening a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants.
“I just want to know if, as my senator, you can commit to passing a reconciliation that could provide a pathway to citizenship for immigrants?” asked Karina. “We have been waiting for this for too long, I just want to know if you’re able to commit.”
After Sinema made no response, Karina continued to press.
“I don’t want to disturb you,” Karina persisted, “but at the same time, I just want to see if I can get a commitment from you, Senator. This is my life and the lives of millions on the line.”
With no sign of intent to respond from Sinema, Karina thanked her for her time and moved away.
This was one of three reported incidents of harassment directed toward Sinema in recent days.
Initially, activists from an organization called LUCHA Arizona followed her into the restroom of a building at Arizona State University and badgered her with questions concerning citizenship.
After being berated by Karina on the plane, she was accosted in the Reagan National Airport in Washington by Kunjoor Ojha, the chief of staff for the Green New Deal Network.

“Do you want to cut climate priorities?” Ojha said. “Is it elder care you want to cut or is it child care? I’m just trying to get an explanation for the American people.”
Political leaders have had very little to say about the continued provocation of their colleague, excusing it as a commonplace occurrence.
When asked to comment on Monday, Joe Biden said: “I don’t think they’re appropriate tactics, but it happens to everybody. The only people it doesn’t happen to are the people that have the Secret Service standing around them. So, it’s a part of the process.”
Leftist media pundit Ana Navarro was equally unsympathetic.
Chasing anybody -public or private- into a bathroom, to me is beyond the pail.
Maybe if @kyrstensinema spent less time in fundraisers with corporate donors and held town-halls to listen to constituents and answer their questions, they wouldn’t chase her into the damn ?. https://t.co/ICsloYkt1l
