Democrat Senator Alex Padilla is a co-conspirator of the harassment, stalking and emotional violence given to Sn. Sinema of Arizona. In fact he helped finance it! Will he and the others be indicted for this Federal crime? Where is the FBI—if they are worried about people “terrorizing” Pelosi on January 6, they should b really concerned about this.
“Beyond Soros funding, LUCHA has received financial support from a political action committee (PAC) connected to several Democrat U.S. Senators, including Sens. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Catherine Cortez Masto (D-NV). Per the Beacon:
Bold PAC, the fundraising arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, gave $12,500 to Living United on Aug. 4, according to Federal Election Commission records. The committee includes more than three dozen of Sinema’s Democratic colleagues in the Senate and House. Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), Alex Padilla (Calif.), and Robert Menendez (N.J.) are listed as members of the committee on the Bold PAC website. The senators did not respond to requests for comment about Living United’s confrontation of their Democratic colleague.
Padilla is corrupt and is acting like a goon. No need to be subtle—why isn’t the California Republican Party calling for the arrest of one of the financiers of these vile acts against a Democrat Senator—by Democrats and George Soros.

It turns out that the leftists who harassed moderate Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) in a public restroom over the weekend are not only funded by billionaire George Soros but are also supported by a group connected to several of Sinema’s U.S. Senate colleagues including at least one vulnerable Democrat up for reelection next year.
Outrage erupted across the internet Sunday when a viral video revealed that several left-wing activists associated with the group Living United for Change in Arizona (LUCHA) stalked Sinema into a bathroom where she teaches at Arizona State University (ASU) while demanding that she support President Joe Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda. According to the Washington Free Beacon, LUCHA received over $1.5 million from the George Soros non-profit Open Society Foundation in 2019 and $250,000 in 2017. The group also reported “around $1.7 million in revenue in 2019 and $328,000 in 2017,” the Beacon noted.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s pro-immigration charity, FWD.us, gave $7,500 to Living United last year. The Ford Foundation gave the organization a $500,000 grant in 2018. The National Education Association, the largest teachers’ union in the country, contributed $60,000 to Living United in both 2017 and 2019.
None of Living United’s donors responded to requests for comment.
As of this writing, Menendez, Cortez Masto, and Padilla have all not publicly condemned the harassment of Sinema. Cortez Masto’s connection to this group may complicate her reelection efforts next year as her Trump-backed GOP challenger, former Attorney General Adam Laxalt, is already ripping her for it:
Former President Donald Trump’s former acting Director of National Intelligence Richard Grenell is also ripping Cortez Masto for the connection to this group:
Grenell is the chairman of Laxalt’s campaign. Trump has endorsed Laxalt in his U.S. Senate bid, which is gaining traction per recent polling, including one that just came out from the Nevada Independent showing him just a few points behind Cortez Masto. Cortez Masto leads Laxalt by only four percent — she has 45.5 percent and he has 41.2 percent — a lead that is less than a half of a percent outside the survey’s four-point margin of error. That same poll shows an even tighter race for governor in Nevada, with both major Republican candidates — former Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) and Clark County Sheriff Joe Lombardo — in statistical ties with incumbent Democrat Gov. Steve Sisolak.
Democrats have been particularly quiet when it comes to criticizing the incident with Sinema in the bathroom at ASU this weekend, and most have not said anything. The few who have said something have not been clear or convincing in criticism of the behavior, including most importantly President Biden himself.
When asked about the incident, Biden said that while the tactics are inappropriate, it is “part of the process.”
“I don’t think they’re appropriate tactics, but it happens to everybody. The only people it doesn’t happen to are people who have secret service standing around them. It’s a part of the process,” Biden said on Monday.
White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki later elaborated that it was “inappropriate and unacceptable” that Sinema’s classroom, students, “the safe and intellectually stimulating environment she’s worked to create during the years of teaching at [ASU] was breached.
