On Thursday evening, Republicans previewed November’s election results by putting a 10-0 spanking on Democrats in the annual Congressional baseball game. But it wasn’t the final score that made the most news. It was Rep. Linda Sanchez, D-CA who decided to turn off the GOP Dugout after she stumbled by the plate.
Here’s a screengrab for those who haven’t seen it. Do not be surprised by the sheer amount of imagery.

Isn’t she just a peach? Isn’t she a peach?
Lucky for us Sanchez now has justification for this grotesque violation of decorum. According to Fox News, she flipped the bird at Republicans because of a “an offensive and misogynistic comment.”
Rep. Linda Sanchez of California defends herself during the Congressional Baseball Game on Thursday night after she was caught flipping the bird to Republican lawmakers, claiming she heard “an offensive and misogynistic comment.”
Sanchez on Friday said in a statement to Fox News Digital that hearing the alleged remark during the annual charity game “struck a nerve,” prompting her to make the gesture.
This is the excuse Democrats use to get out of control. It’s a fact you have to love. You may recall years ago the Congressional Black Caucus claimed that racist slurs were hurled at them by people outside of the Capitol Building to protest the Affordable Care Act. It was not surprising that a video of the group walking past the crowd was released later. Not a single racist slur was recorded. The “they said a sexist/racist slur” excuse has become even more commonplace since then, used to excuse all forms of various bad behavior.
In this case, as in most cases, you shouldn’t believe it, though. It’s amazing, just think about it. Sanchez was able to flip off a whole dugout full of Republicans, in front of all cameras. Yet, we are supposed to believe she’s just so stoic and retrained that she can’t reveal 1) who made the supposed remark and 2) what the supposed remark was.
That is a lie that no one should believe. If a Republican had actually said something objectively offensive to her, she’d be shouting that person’s name from the rooftops. She’d also have no problem being specific in what was said. The vagueness of her statement is the clue that she’s making it up.
It is possible to determine with some degree of certainty what happened. Sanchez took a stand, received some criticism from Republicans, lost her cool, and continued to strike out. Instead of just owning her actions, though, she decided to do what Democrats always do, which is lean on the “everything is sexist and racist” claim to justify what she did. It’s pathetic. It’s pathetic.
