Progressive billionaire activist George Soros is funding the left-wing group whose members harassed Sen. Kyrsten Sinema D-Ariz., in a bathroom over the weekend.
Activists with Living United for Change in Arizona videoed Sinema while she was teaching at Arizona State University on Saturday after she refused to meet with the organization to discuss her opposition to the $3.5 trillion Build Back Better spending bill.
The Washington Free Beacon reported Living United’s biggest donor, by far, is Soros' Open Society Foundation, which gave the group $1.5 million in 2019 and $250,000 in 2017.
Living United reported approximately $1.7 million in revenue in 2019 and $328,000 in 2017.
President Biden on Monday dismissed the harassment of Sinema, as well as of Sen. Joe Manchin, D-W.Va., who was confronted by kayakers on his boat, as "part of the process."
"I don't think they’re appropriate tactics, but it happens to everybody," he said.
Back in Jan, Biden told staffers that he would “fire you on the spot” if you didn’t treat others with respect.

Sinema and Manchin are the only Democrats opposing their party's $3.5 trillion bill. Their votes are needed to reach the 50 required to pass the reconciliation bill, with Vice President Kamala Harris providing the deciding vote.
The Free Beacon noted Arizona law forbids photographing or videoing another person in a restroom "where the person has a reasonable expectation of privacy" and is relieving themselves or undressing.
The activists had their phone camera going when Sinema entered the bathroom, and they didn't stop until she left. The activists are heard asking Sinema to support a path to citizenship for 7 million illegal immigrants in the United States.
The Free Beacon noted that Living United's funding from major progressive donors belies its self-description as a grassroots community organizer

Along with Soros, Living United received $7,500 from Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s pro-immigration charity, FWD.us.
The Ford Foundation gave the group a $500,000 grant in 2018. And largest teacher's union, the National Education Association, contributed $60,000 to Living United in both 2017 and 2019.
