Sad.. Congressional staffers boo Trump at unity baseball game

So much for de-fanging 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.

When both teams went to second base — the symbolic spot where Rep. Steve Scalise was wounded in the attack at the Alexandria practice field — to kneel and pray, some mocked the prayer, too. The fans appeared to be Democratic staffers, having booed the announcement of several members of the GOP lineup.

People will only take so much abuse and insult and it will back fire on the abusers and they will get exactly what they deserve.

This was no surprise to me. The Democrats are for disruption and anarchy. They are treating Democracy as their "bully" platform. They only want unity when they are in control.

Agree 2:31 PM. They are really showing their butts to the country. Does this bring to mind the brown shirts? Guess they think it is rule by intimidation, my way or the highway.

They're drones, conditioned to hoot, bark and whine for treats.
