Thursday night’s Congressional Baseball Game took on added meaning and importance after the shooting at the Republican practice on Wednesday, which left Louisiana Representative Steve Scalise seriously wounded.
The Democrats would go on to win the game, convincingly, by a final 11-2. Though, the postgame scene became one of unity and camaraderie as the Democrats presented the trophy to Scalise, who is still in critical condition after the attack. Representative Joe Barton of Texas accepted the trophy on Scalise’s behalf.

This is good.
He’d rather have a Naval Ship named after him./s
Good? Is it true that dem congressmen booed and gave the finger to the video of Donald Trump?
Yeah, at least they still know how at least to SHOW they have a heart.
That means they still know right from wrong.
It’s something!
How many 100s of thousands of soldiers died in the 20th into the 21st century of ours?
And we had room to name one after her?!?!!?
Classy. Too bad they can’t be this respectful all the time. We could get so much done if they would stop being stubborn. Of course GOP is stubborn as well.
Just a ruse. Privately, they’re pissed their hero Democrat James T. Hopkinson (D-Illinois) wasn’t able to murder more Republicans.
I dunno...I don’t trust any of those nasty commie pricks.
I’d probably would have told them to just shove up their collective commie azzes....sideways, but I’m still pretty put out over this shooting and the responses to it.
Wait! How is CNN going to spin this?
Staffers and others in the audience. I think the elected ones are smart and well known (notorious) enough to stifle.
A classy move.
They deserve credit where credit is due.
Terrible sentence construction. How about:
"The postgame scene became one of unity and camaraderie, however, as the Democrats presented the trophy to Scalise, who is still in critical condition after the attack."
I believe you are correct.
If there was true unity, SOMEONE in a leadership position should have asked that the rude SOBs be removed and told the rest to tone it down.....
Like when ‘people’ were offering million dollar reward for dirt on Rs when Clintoon was getting impeached.
Clintoon was reminded he should probably ask these people to cease and desist and he basically said it wasn’t his problem.
Definitely the COWARDS way out.
Yes they do very much so. Unfortunately vitriol resides on both sides of the aisle as witnessed by some posting here.
It was the obvious option.
GOOD for the democrats to realize it and act on it.
Well yeah. I bet Dems giggled because Nancy dipped the trophy in her urine...
The baseball game was just a photo-op.
Quintessential Kabuki.
I’m thinking the smart ones are wising up and backpedalling or, at the very least, doing some damage control to their brand.
