As climate protesters vow to blockade and shut down the Congressional Baseball Game on Wednesday night, at least one lawmaker said he wasn’t worried.
Rep. Roger Williams coached the Republican team to victory last year and is hoping for a repeat. Asked whether the protest was on his radar, the Texan said, “It’s on the stupid radar. I mean, why would an environmentalist not like a baseball game? Baseball is played on grass and dirt. What’s wrong with that?”
The annual game, which raises money for local charities, pits Republican and Democratic members of Congress against one another at Nationals Park.
