If you watched Sunday's World Series game at Nationals Park in Washington, D.C. — or even if you didn't — you probably saw a picture of the "Veterans for Impeachment" banner behind home plate.
An organization of veterans is lobbying for Trump's impeachment — and they're headed to D.C.
"It's about challenging hate and intolerance and taking the mission of defending the U.S. to our role as veterans — fighting missions of economic justice, social justice, racial justice, and environmental justice," said Marine Corps veteran and Common Defense lead Kyle Bibby.
Common Defense was founded in 2015 in response to some of the messages coming from the Trump campaign. Now, they're working to impeach President Donald Trump — and they gained some significant national attention Sunday night.
"We were able to acquire these tickets. We knew Donald Trump would be present and we wanted to send a very clear message to both him and the rest of the country," Bibby said. "We put a lot forward for this country so we think it's important that they be willing to do their part and support their oath as much as we did."
The specific veterans behind the banner were Alan Pitts and Naveed Shah — both veterans of the Iraq War.
"We're excited that so many people saw this message. And it's resonating. But truthfully, we knew it would," Bibby said. "Because most people in this country take a look at Donald Trump and they see immediately someone who is unqualified for his office and someone who has been abusing his power and somone who simply should not be president."
The sign was eventually confiscated in accordance with the Washington Nationals' "longstanding policy regarding banners and signs."
