Outkick reported on July 29 that the normally friendly and bipartisan atmosphere for the annual Congressional Baseball Game took a turn. Linda Sanchez, Democratic Representative (CA-38), flipped the bird to Republican Dugout. She was returning to the dugout to replace a pinch runner.
This game ended in a rout. The Republicans won 10-0. The party is usually very friendly, with both sides playing ball together and the attendees cheering on their representative. Apparently Sanchez didn’t get the memo.
Here’s the video from Ryan Saavedra on Twitter:

She was probably mad at her team’s performance and wanted to vent her anger.
It is truly a great class act.
As Outkick put it well, “If the roles were reversed and a Republican flipped off the Democrats, it would be the biggest story in America for weeks.”
