Congresswoman Gives Colleagues 1-Finger Salute [Video]
Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) gave the middle finger to her Republican colleagues as she jogged by the GOP dugout during the 87th annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity.
According to a report, the Republican team was winning 5-0 in the bottom of the sixth inning when Sanchez “drew a leadoff walk.” As she jogged back to the Democrat dugout, she looked toward the GOP bench and flipped them the bird.
It’s not clear if something prompted the rude gesture from Sanchez, the report noted.
The congresswoman came under fire for her unsportsmanlike conduct during a charity event.
Conservative author Nick Adams called Sanchez “classless.”
“Giving the middle finger to the GOP Baseball team is hateful and divisive,” he wrote on Twitter. “Sanchez should be banned from all future Congressional baseball games and permanently stripped of all committees.”
“California Democrat Rep. Linda Sanchez gave the Republican dug out the finger right before her team got BODIED 10-0 by the GOP in the congressional baseball game,” said Newsmax host Benny Johnson. “What a nasty, disgusting slob. Perfect representation of the modern Left.”
Former North Carolina congressman Mark Walker tweeted: “Congresswoman Linda Sanchez flipping off Republicans in a charity game to support the Boys and Girls Club of DC. Sad!”
