When President Donald Trump and first lady Melania Trump were recognized by the announcer while attending Game 5 of the World Series at Nationals Park, they were treated to a resounding chorus of “boos” from an overwhelmingly liberal audience — and even a few chants of “lock him up.”
As CBS reported, the incident started at the end of the third inning as the announcer started to introduce service members who were in attendance.
The crowd cheered as some members of the military were shown on the stadium Jumbotron, but the reception quickly changed when the Trumps appeared on the screen.
To the Trumps’ credit, both the president and the first lady smiled gamely through the rude reception — obviously they’d been expecting something along these lines.
