Republicans came out ahead in Wednesday’s Congressional Baseball Game, 31-11, marking the fourth year in a row the GOP has been victorious. But the event was interrupted a couple times by the usual suspects.
Ahead of the national anthem, pro-Hamas activists along the Democrats’ side chanted “Free Palestine,” but Republicans quickly broke out in “USA” chants in response.
The pro-Hamas losers have infiltrated the Congressional Baseball Game and were promptly drowned out by chants of USA! USA! 🇺🇸 Then the freaks shouted through their Chinese made masks during the National Anthem

Congress sends billions of public $$ to subsidize deadly fossil fuels — but the police are tackling us instead.
This Chevron-sponsored game cannot continue. This is unconscionable. pic.twitter.com/ZAM3kmm9f7
Left-wingers at Congressional baseball game rush the field in protest of fossil fuels. GOP fans cheer on the security guys tackling them — hard — then boo them as they’re escorted away. Dem side not sure what to do. Now the Hamas people causing a problem. Nice party, Dems.
