The savage move made by Rep. Linda Sanchez (D.CA) during the Congressional Baseball Game was something I covered. She flipped off the Republicans in the dugout. This was a ridiculous action to take when you’re playing the game for charity, including helping kids. It’s also supposed to be about unity, coming together on the field of sport, but she managed to blow that, too.
At the point she made the gesture, the Democrats were down 5-0, so maybe she’s just a sore loser. It was clear she was an example to others, which drew a lot deserved criticism. In the end, however, the Democrats lost 10-0.

But now she’s added to the issue that she created. After she was confronted with criticism for her rude action, she’s now making a laughable excuse that someone made an “offensive and misogynistic” comment to her.
Outkick
“The Congressional Baseball Game is one of my favorite events of the year. It’s a great cause and brings both sides of the aisle together for a night off from partisan politics. It was precisely because of this that I felt a strong connection when I received an insensitive and misogynistic comment by the Republican side while returning to the dugout. The moment was hot so I quickly reacted. I have no tolerance for men who make women feel like they are unimportant or don’t belong – especially on the field. I will always stand against that kind of bigotry,” Sanchez said in a statement released to the media Friday.
But she wouldn’t clarify what was said or who she thinks said it, so I believe that like I believe that Joe Biden is fully competent.
David Hookstead at “Outkick” made multiple calls to Sanchez to ask about what was said–and she did not respond.
But a local radio producer who was in the dugout with the Republicans, Corey Inganamort, said that Sanchez was lying and nothing was said.”Everyone was shocked by what she did,” he said.

Yesterday night I was at the dugout alongside the Republicans.
Her lies are a lie.
No one said anything offensive, misogynistic.

Even if this were true, it isn’t the right response to turn people off. It is to act as an adult. So, she doesn’t help herself much with this excuse. She showed that she failed at being an adult–and added lying into the bargain.
