Dem Pulls a Nasty Move During Congressional Baseball Game

As we reported, the Congressional baseball game had a little extra drama because of the effort by climate radicals to block an entrance to get into the game.

Townhall’s Julio Rosas caught some of the action of the sorry lot.

Their efforts didn’t go well — with three arrests and other entrances being open anyway, so they didn’t stop anyone from getting into the event.

The purpose of the game is supposed to be to come together on the field of sport — for a few moments — to have fun together and share a little unity. The game has largely been that, although we saw in the past a radical leftist shoot up a GOP practice for the game, wounding multiple people and almost killing Rep. Steve Scalise (R-LA).

They’re also raising money for charity for the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater Washington, the Washington Nationals Dream Foundation, the Washington Literacy Center, and — following the practice shooting in 2017 — the US Capitol Police Memorial Fund.

“This game is so great and people are so nice,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said about the game. “That’s what makes it great that we’re competitive, and it’s great to be here and have a little fun.” But she maybe should have told her people that, because the climate activists weren’t the only drama at the game.

Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) decided to add a little lack of sportsmanship. The Democrats were down 5-0 in the sixth inning when she got a leadoff walk. She was then pulled for a pinch runner. But while making her way back to the Democrats’ dugout, she flipped off the Republicans in the other dugout.

It’s not clear why she did that, but now they can’t even leave their behavior aside in a game for charity to help kids? What a nasty move. Some role model she is. It says a lot about their approach when that kind of response is all they’re left with. But it didn’t help the Democrats who got blown out, 10-0, as we reported.

They’re going to be even more upset in November with what is to come in the midterms. Even CNN is recognizing the numbers are all favoring the Republicans. CNN’s Harry Enten was even saying that polls are likely underestimating the wave that is to come.

A couple of fans also had a message in the stands with “Let’s go, Brandon” and “45.”

This game just might be the perfect metaphor for November.
