Wednesday’s annual Congressional Baseball Game for Charity was disrupted when a group of protesters stormed the field to make a political statement about the alleged climate doomsday.
The game which raises money for local charities pits members of the House and Senate against each other in an event that has been a cherished local tradition for over a century, with fans who turned out to watch the action at Nationals Stadium having their enjoyment briefly interrupted by the left-wing activists.
In the early stages of the contest, the group of protesters who were wearing white shirts reading “End Fossil Fuels” jumped the railing and bolted onto the playing field, carrying signs that said “Stop playing games with our future,” running around like fools until they were subdued.
In the video of the interruption, police are seen tackling the troublemakers before they were hauled off and play resumed. Eight people were arrested.
The Washington, D.C.-based Climate Defiance took credit for the incident.
“Climate protestors”. Most of these folks are really quite ignorant of the true facts concerning “climate change”. Most lefties seek “knowledge” and emotional support only from sources producing the “correct” narrative.

See, Congress can do it if they want to.
We need some of this action in museums where these clowns have never been impeded.
I’m surprised that spectators are even allowed anymore after Steve Scalise being shot and nearly killed a few years ago.
Of course, the perp was a left-wing nutjob, so it went down the memory hole, for the most part.

They should have known that after Steve Scalise was shot at that event in 2017, that security would be tight.
Final score was 31-11 in favor of the Republicans. Lots of sloppy fielding on both sides.
the poor female LEO was left with the biggest dude to bring down...
hehehe
she got help eventually.
What's this "we" nonsense. Only fags and commies and spics have the right to protest. Our side winds up in dungeons. Hence, J6.
Thanks, VR.
