Over the sounds of toilets flushing, an activist identified equally Blanca spoke to Sinema from the entrance to the bathroom.
"We need to hold you answerable to what y'all told u.s., what you promised us that y'all were going to laissez passer when we knocked on doors for y'all," Blanca says in the footage. "It'southward not right."
