While taking questions at the White House on Monday, President Biden was asked for his thoughts on the recent harassment of Democratic Senators Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ).
Sinema was harassed by activists while teaching a class at Arizona State University and subsequently chased her into a bathroom and filmed her while inside.

— Philip Melanchthon Wegmann (@PhilipWegmann) October 2, 2021 "I don't think they're appropriate tactics but it happens to everybody," Biden said of the targeted political harassment of sitting U.S. senators. "The only people it doesn't happen to are people who have Secret Service standing around them, it's part of the process," he added.

— ForAmerica (@ForAmerica) October 4, 2021 While Biden didn't say whether that "process" is convincing holdouts in his party to cave and switch their positions or something else, his half-hearted attempt to say that the actions taken against Sinema and Machin were "inappropriate" only served as a wink and a nod that targeted harassment of Senators not going along with his agenda is unavoidable and apparently normal.
In a statement Monday morning, Sinema slammed those who targeted her. "Yesterday's behavior was not legitimate protest," she said in a statement. "It is unacceptable for activist organizations to instruct their members to jeopardize themselves by engaging in unlawful activities such as gaining entry to closed university buildings, disrupting learning environments, and filming students in a restroom."

— Kyrsten Sinema (@SenatorSinema) October 4, 2021 Biden's wink and nod to harassing activists, predictably, did not go over well.
Ok this is shameful. How in an age of “me too” do you “meh” a female official being followed into a bathroom and filmed for explicitly coercive purposes?? https://t.co/sfvSu5eIvZ
— Rebeccah Heinrichs (@RLHeinrichs) October 4, 2021 No, Joe Biden, chasing a woman into a bathroom for not voting a certain way is not "part of the process."
— Kassy Dillon (@KassyDillon) October 4, 2021 Back in Jan, Biden told staffers that he would “fire you on the spot” if you didn’t treat others with respect.

“Manchin may not care, but I doubt that Sinema will simply ‘brush it off’.”
Manchin is a whore. It’s all about personal gain for him. I don’t know enough about Sinema to know how she will react. The pressure on Dems to conform must be intense.
I didn’t think Biden could disgust me any more than what he’s already done. Incredible.
Even with this statement, we will be hearing the lib media defending what he said. Psaki will act as though nothing is wrong with a president expressing such an attitude toward any American, let alone toward a woman.
There is a law against it but he has always been above it because we allowed him to.
Funny. The people who tried to chase Pelosi into a bathroom on 6-1-21 are currently in solitary confinement, no bail, no trial, no sunshine.
Guess there’s two sets of processes here in the Soviet Socialist Republics of America, huh?
Actually, it’s a criminal offense in Arizona. But the Pedophile-in-Cheat doesn’t care about laws. We certainly know what the media reaction would be if Conservative activists charged into a ladies bathroom to harass a Senator on the toilet would be.
They can't be any worse than the Rinos already in the Senate.
Green lighting goons to harass people who disagree with you. Sounds like a winning strategy to get them to come around
i do so wish Sinema would have pulled a stunt like the infamous “Hollis Wood” bathroom scene in the movie 1941. Bet they would have scattered from the bathroom.
So now outright quid pro quo corruption s "part of the process".
Problem is, we didn't finish the job.
Jan 6 is the birthday of the American gulag.
In a perfect world Senima would announce that because of the hostility of her own party she is changing her party affiliation effective immediately
We would dethrone Shuck U Schumer
Chasing girls into bathrooms has always been part of Joe’s “process.”
You think anyone is brave enough to do it? No one did it during the Antifa and BLM riots.
Maybe the senile puppet Sleepy Joe misinterpreted the question and meant to respond that it was "Fart of the Process."
Who knows for sure? ... we're talking about the puppet Sleepy Joe here ... there's no saying what he's actually thinking ... Has anyone seen the YT video in which Sleepy Joe finishes reading his teleprompter speech in the White House press room by mumbling aloud something like, I was told to finish and walk out but I'll do something different and walk towards you, say hi ... (Sleepy Joe walks like an NPC into the reporter crowd but Secret Service instantly grabs NPC Sleepy and rushes him out). Insane. What can the rest of the world possibly think about the election steal?
Sleepy also recently did a joint press conference with Boris Johnson in a White House room. As Johnson finished commenting, the press began asking Sleepy Joe questions. But a bunch of angry Sleepy Joe handlers started screeching, Out, out, everyone out, reporters out, out, out!%@*#!! ... (it was unreal) ... again, what can the world think of the steal?
Its Privacy Law under Intrusion on Seclusion. I'm still trying to find the specific statute
Does this mean that Biden is volunteering to be called as a defense withess?
“Cameras in a bathroom seems like something that should be illegal.”
...I thought Target had cams in the bathroom? Or something like that. Oh yeah...I forgot...men can go in a womens dressing room if they’re feeling “dainty” that day.
