Rep. Linda Sanchez (D-CA), who was seen flipping off the Republican dugout at Thursday's Congressional Baseball Game, clarified that it was a man in the stands, not a GOP lawmaker, whom she made the gesture toward.
Sanchez, who was roundly criticized after the incident, said in a statement Friday that she"heard an offensive and misogynistic comment from the Republican side" and reacted"in the heat of the moment." While the California Democrat did not say where on the GOP side she heard the comment, she did not deny that it came from a lawmaker. Democrat Rep. Linda Sanchez flips off the Republican dug out.

Asked what specifically the man said, Sanchez demurred, saying:"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."
