    It's very reasonable to insist that Sinema shouldn't be followed into the washroom by activists, but in May her line was she shouldn't be asked questions by reporters in hallways. Someone so averse to being questioned should find another line of work.https://twitter.com/igorbobic/status/1391873153413091340 …

    “Literally never walking down this hallway again but thanks guys,” Sinema says after I asked about her views on the recount being run by Republicans in her state (she never takes questions in the hallways)

        Like one mayor said, if you’re a mayor it happens every day. It’s part of her job to be available to the public.

        The activists' conduct was inappropriate but it was also malpractice: Senator Sinema laid the bait, the activists took it and now she will forever present herself as "a victim."

        Also, she’s the last person whose opinion matters on bathroom-questioning.

        I’m sure those people would be happy to attend any public forums that she wants to organize. They’d probably arrange it for her.

        I dont like the whole ambush feel to asking questions while walking- or peeing- but there should be a balance where they make themselves available in a more appropriate setting so they dont have the excuse.

        Those are usually the hallways within the Capitol - journalists absolutely can approach you at your public job about your job.
