President Trump drew loud boos and chants of "lock him up" during his appearance on the Jumbotron at Nationals Park for Game 5 of the World Series on Sunday.

Trump was sitting in the stands along with some of his closest Republican allies, including House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy (Calif.), House Republican Conference Chairwoman Liz Cheney (Wyo.) and House Minority Whip Steve Scalise (La.). Other GOP members of Congress present included Sens. Lindsey Graham (S.C.) and David Perdue (Ga.).

According to multiple reporters at the scene, the audience erupted into boos when the group appeared on the Jumbotron. Some members of the crowd then began a brief "lock him up" chant, an echo of the popular "lock her up" chant directed at former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that can often be heard at Trump's rallies.

. . .

A group of military veterans also joined the president's sizable entourage in the seats.

(So glad some of the country's military veterans were there to witness this.)
