The Republican congressional baseball team whipped the Democrat squad 31-11 Wednesday night, in a competition that was at one point interrupted by boneheaded climate demonstrators.
Footage shows a Capitol Police officer sprint toward one of the agitators who just leapt onto the field and brutally tackle the disrupter to the floor.
Next, several other demonstrators were slammed to the ground by more cops and some security guards.
Hats off to Capitol Police for immediately shutting down a threat to the security of the Congressional Baseball Game by radical Green activists. We know it was exactly this setting where a crazed left-winger shot and seriously injured Rep. Steve Scalise. pic.twitter.com/QibGTIBHxK

The group Climate Defiance took credit for the pathetic protest on X, writing, “We have taken the field at the Congressional Baseball Game + play has FROZEN! Congress sends billions of public $$ to subsidize deadly fossil fuels — but the police are tackling us instead.”
While they’re crying about being tackled, the geniuses did run onto a field being used by members of the United States Congress.

This Chevron-sponsored game cannot continue. This is unconscionable. pic.twitter.com/ZAM3kmm9f7

Pro-Palestine demonstrators also made their voices heard, chanting, “Free Palestine,” during the National Anthem.

They are of course all in the Democrats’ section
