Sinema was confronted in recent weeks by protesters displeased with her position on President Biden’s social services and climate change package. Earlier this month, the senator was followed into a bathroom by four protesters who recorded the entire encounter. Arizona State University Police have recommended charges against them.
Newsweek reported the most recent confrontation marked the second time the senator was confronted at an airport this month. The video captured a masked Sinema walking briskly with two men when the woman approached her to walk next to her.

The senator otherwise ignored the woman, who accused her of not meeting with her constituents to hear their concerns about climate change.
"Every single year in Arizona, it's getting hotter and hotter," the woman said. "We're breaking records ... People are suffering. Your constituents are suffering. What are you going to do about climate change?" she asked.

Sinema’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., and Sinema have almost barred Biden’s massive proposal from advancing. With Republican opposition, and an evenly split 50-50 Senate, the president has no votes to spare. The two Democratic senators have insisted on reducing the size of the enormous package and pressed for other changes.

Sinema rejected an earlier plan to reverse the Republican-led 2017 tax cuts and raise rates on corporations earning more than $5 million a year and wealthy Americans earning more than $400,000, or $450,000 for couples.
Democrats initially planned for Biden’s package to contain $3.5 trillion worth of spending and tax initiatives over ten years. Yet demands by moderates led by Manchin and Sinema to include costs mean its final price tag could be less than $2 trillion.

Grassroots activists and union groups are preparing to launch a flurry of protests later on Wednesday against Sinema, who they worry could single-handedly sink President Biden’s agenda.
