The Washington Nationals banned an attendee from their home, Nationals Park, after showing a banner promoting a white nationalist website during a game on Sunday.

The team issued a statement to multiple media outlets saying it identified at least one of the individuals involved, though it would not release their identity.

"The Washington Nationals vehemently condemn discriminatory and hateful rhetoric, and we strive to ​make our home field a safe space for our fans," the Nationals’ statement read following the game against the Baltimore Orioles.

During the Nationals’ game against the Orioles on Sunday, three people unfurled the banner in an upper deck section along the first baseline at Nationals Park, promoting the white nationalist website and calling for the deportation of "100+ million."

The attendees reportedly resisted removing the banner after an usher tried to confiscate it before they left the ballpark, according to a team spokesperson.

Jake Lang, a conservative influencer and among those who stormed The U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, took credit for the banner on his social media.

The banner unfurling came during the Nationals’ usual "Salute to Service" ceremony, where they honor a veteran military service member before the fourth inning begins.
