0 sharesRep. Linda Sanchez, D-Calif. says it wasn’t Republican lawmakers who made “an offensive and misogynistic comment” during the Congressional Baseball Game on Thursday night that prompted her to flip the bird towards their dugout, but rather a fan in the stands. Sanchez told NBC News’ Frank Thorp that the alleged comment came from an “obnoxious fan” who has previously shouted similar remarks at her in the past. It’s a great cause and brings both sides of the aisle together for a night off from partisan politics. That is why it really struck a nerve when I heard an offensive and misogynistic comment from the Republican side on my way back to the dugout,” her statement read. “I’m not going to dignify it with a response because it’s nasty and it’s crude, and it has no place at a charity baseball game.” Sanchez also took aim at Republican lawmakers for “trashing” her over her response.
