The Democrats were served a shut-out in Thursday night’s Congressional Baseball Game and one California democrat showed her displeasure by running past the GOP’s dugout and flipping the Republicans off.
Soon after Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA) made the obscene gesture, many took to social media to criticize her ‘classless’ behavior.
“Rep. Linda Sanchez is classless. Giving the middle finger to the GOP Baseball team is hateful and divisive. Sanchez should be banned from all future Congressional baseball games and permanently stripped of all committees.”

The Democrats lost 10-zip in a game where Sanchez was pulled for a pinch runner after getting walked on base.
Thursday night’s game marked the second straight year that the Republicans won the Congressional Baseball Game.
Some people and politicians on social media joked that results of the game are an example of what’s going to happen in the upcoming midterm elections.
