Ocasio Cortez Dig Costs Baseball Team A Sponsor

WATCH: Joe Lieberman views Ocasio-Cortez as more socialist than Democrat

We all like mocking Alexandria Ocasio Cortez.

She’s quite literally a representation of EVERYTHING wrong with the modern left- and we’re going to keep talking about it.

The more people realize that everything she says is absolute lunacy, the more people will realize that a party that stands by her (and raging anti-Semites) should not be supported.

That being said, there’s a time and place for politics… and apparently, a minor league baseball game wasn’t it.

A Washington Nationals minor league baseball affiliate has lost a sponsorship over their inclusion of the Socialist Sweetheart in a Memorial Day tribute video as an “enemy of freedom.”

Yeeeah… This is coming from someone who HATES AOC – but I also hate that political division has become a part of EVERYTHING in our society right now. I know for a fact I’d be livid if they included a Conservative I supported in that video. Maybe they should just stick to baseball.

According to Fox News:

A Washington Nationals minor league baseball affiliate lost a sponsorship Wednesday, days after a Memorial Day tribute video showed an image of Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y., between dictators Kim Jong Un and Fidel Castro while former President Ronald Reagan spoke of the “enemies of freedom.”

Sun-Maid announced it had ended its partnership with the Fresno Grizzlies, according to the Fresno Bee.

“We are deeply disappointed by the Memorial Day tribute video the Fresno Grizzlies aired on Monday,” Sun-Maid told the newspaper in an email through a public relations firm. “Sun-Maid does not support the views or sentiments expressed in the video, nor does it condone the airing of it. While the Grizzlies have apologized for this mistake, we are standing on the side of what we believe is right and terminating our sponsorship of the team.”

Sun-Maid signage was prominent in left field of the Grizzlies’ ballpark. It’s unclear how long the two organizations had been partners.

Again – I personally think they’re RIGHT – she is an enemy of freedom… but I also think we should be able to catch a ball game without getting into politics. Is that too much to ask?

The three-minute video, called “Memorial Day Tribute – We Are Americans,” was filled with patriotic images and a speech from Reagan. At one point, the Reagan speaks of “enemies of freedom” and images of an Antifa member, Kim, Ocasio-Cortez and Castro appear.

Here’s the #video shown by the @FresnoGrizzlies tonight, found on @YouTube: https://t.co/LioDjXNya0

Grizzlies, who play in the Pacific Coast League, apologized several times for airing the video – the latest coming Wednesday night.

“The video was not produced, created or commissioned by the Fresno Grizzlies. It was carelessly taken from YouTube. There are multiple versions of this video available on the internet, the version that our employee selected contained offensive content,” the team said. “The airing of the video in the ballpark was the result of an unintentional oversight by an employee who did not view the video in its entirety. The employee responsible has been reprimanded by the organization.

Well…that was DUMB.

Who airs a video they haven’t actually watched?!

“We understand the dangers and ramifications of what was shown. We have publicly apologized to Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez. Regardless of your political viewpoint, we believe that all people who dedicate their lives to public service deserve respect.”

Amen.

So this was one stupid mistake – and I’m sure they’ve learned a valuable lesson:

NEVER PLAY A VIDEO YOU HAVEN’T WATCHED.

Not to be weird- but there’s some pretty gross stuff on the internet. It could have been much worse.
