Hardly 12 hours after the announcement of the al Baghdadi killing, would- be autocrat Donald "Rump" Trump attended last night's World Series game to bask in the glory with his posse of pusillanimous polecats (including Sen. Lindsey "Huckleberry" Graham, Reps. Matt "DUI" Gaetz, Kevin McCarthy, Liz Cheney, Steve Scalise, Mark Meadows, and Andy Biggs). Here's what greeted them:

Then came a loud chant: “Lock him up.” @wusa9 pic.twitter.com/LBbgSAHd6k

It's more telling of the pulse of this country and how fed up we are with Trump that he's getting booed by a lot of white folks on the day that he announces the death of the leader of IS. #LockHimUp— Jo Kaur (@SikhFeminist) October 28, 2019
I’m at the World Series. For the record, massive boos when they showed that fucker on the screen, despite them sandwiching him between shots of the military here. #worldseries #impeachtrump #lockhimup— Jen (@MagazineFreak) October 28, 2019
Thank you to everyone who booed the incompetent criminal moron. #LockHimUp— MinnesotaVoice ⚖️⏳ (@MinnesotaVoice) October 28, 2019
MLB fans skew older, whiter, and more male than other major sports. That makes the volume of the boos and prevalence of the chants tonight even more significant.— John Pavlovitz (@johnpavlovitz) October 28, 2019
That should be his sweet spot.
America is waking up.#LockHimUp
Back to your regularly scheduled impeachment inquiry. 😁 #LockHimUp #GoNationals pic.twitter.com/seNFB4F7EG— Damon 🎃👻😈 (@geminimoon) October 28, 2019
UPDATE: For the right- wingers and media pearl clutchers --
While pundits lament the "lock him up" chant, here in the real world:— Greg Sargent (@ThePlumLineGS) October 28, 2019
* Trump actually has unleashed law enforcement on political opponents
* Trump actually has committed crimes
* WH actually does argue in effect that Trump is above the law

Last night was a more important moment in the public life of America’s top public servant than any from all of his rallies combined.— The Hoarse Whisperer (@HoarseWisperer) October 28, 2019
Pundits should focus on what his lone moment of facing the public revealed and how it unmasked the facade of every other event he has attended.
Booing a fascist while watching a baseball game is the most patriotic, American thing you could ever do.— God (@thegoodgodabove) October 28, 2019
