Congressional staffers boo Trump at unity baseball game
The Washington Times ^ | June 15, 2017 | Stephen Dinan

So much for defanging the poisonous debate in Washington.

Dozens of congressional staffers erupted into boos, jeers and even vulgar gesticulations Thursday when President Trump appeared in a video at the Congressional Baseball Game at Nationals Park.

Mr. Trump delivered a message of unity, but some fans in the stands weren’t having any of it.

One man shouted an expletive at the video screen as Mr. Trump was telling the fans: “We are showing the world we will not be intimidated by threats.”

The episode marred what had been a night celebrating those wounded in Wednesday’s murderous attack on GOP players practicing for the game.

Joe Wilson, I think from the Carolinas.
The guy who walked out on Obama’s lying speech was John Shimkus of S. Illinois.

Joe Wilson, Republican, South Carolina. Obama was lying in his SOTU address about not wanting to give illegals coverage under his `Affordable Care act’ and Joe called him on it. Twice, and loudly.
Rahm “Tiny Dancer” Emmanuel called on creeps like Juan McCain and others and Wilson wound up apologizing for calling Obama a liar during his speech.

In times of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act.
Many of the GOP-e b******s who bitterly harrumphed over the truth are the same ones refusing to support their party’s leader, even here after some of them were shot the other day by one of their buddies. Juan and Co. are miserable excuses for human beings.

Best rated comment is that the Congress critter who is the boss of those who were disgraceful should be fired.

There should be a psych eval given to anyone in that building. Those who were acting out at that game, could very well act out at work.

quote from article : “Most fans were in the correct mood, however, chanting U-S-A and giving a loud standing ovation to Capitol Police Special Agent David Bailey, who along with two other special agents at the field Wednesday were credited with saving the lives of dozens of lawmakers and staffers.”

"I agree, common decency is not part of the leftists' makeup"

Truer words were never spoken.

I'm not one to strain at gnats but significant in its own way is the fact that during the prayer ceremony tonight delivered by the House Chaplain with all the ball players kneeling on and around the VERY spot Rep. Steve Scalise was shot, the vile mouths of the CNN announcers were deliberately going on as usual with their motor-mouth political blather while the reverent scene was being shown on their screen.

On the other hand, the same scene was being telecast by Fox with absolutely 100% respect....there was total and commendable silence from start to finish with the Fox commentators refraining from stepping all over the poignant moments of prayer, solemnity and brotherhood.

“The fans appeared to be Democratic staffers, having booed the announcement of several members of the GOP lineup.”

Democrats mocking the prayer.

Democrats making obscene gestures.

I am so happy and proud that I declared myself A REPUBLICAN FOR LIFE at age 5 in my Kindergarten class while wearing my I LIKE IKE button on the starched collar of my crisp white blouse for our class photo!

I might add, that I have never voted for a democrat during my entire life and I never shall.

Review the videos and fire every one of the A holes that vilified their CEO, the president. If you or I did this at a corporate meeting we would be fired, why not them?

Staffers in general: it’s been said that even REPUBLICANS have d’rat staffers. What’s up with that?

This was noted by LS if IIRC.

It took three years of Marxist rule, the importation of Cuban troops and a planned massacre to turn Pinochet into Pinochet.

With apologies to pigs.....Democrats are disgusting PIGS!


Just look at the way the leftists trash places after rallies. Conservatives are much more likely to clean up and use trash receptacles.

Ah Yes!

The I LIKE IKE slogan was in the 50’s and was probably what won him the presidency, my folks were all in for him and so was I, though a little older than you. :-)

I must confess, proudly, that I’ve never voted for a Rat either.
