Price booed as he throws out first pitch at Nationals game

Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price was booed as he threw out the first pitch at the Washington Nationals Game on Wednesday.

Price was reportedly met with boos and only a few cheers when he took the mound at Nationals Park to toss the ceremonial first pitch, according to multiple people at the ball park.

Price was one of the administration’s public faces in trying to push through the ObamaCare repeal-and-replace bill, lobbying with lawmakers to get them to agree to the legislation and defending the measure on Sunday morning shows.

Good thing for Tom Price there’s a small pre-game crowd because these boos would be a lot louder pic.twitter.com/KVHmokqpjV

Whoever told Tom Price this was a good idea should be fired https://t.co/vctM2letCT
