Dammit," one commenter wrote. "Were almost to Wamsutter, WY to support. Wish we had this info last night."
"This is so disappointing for everyone who made plans to show up in support in Denver to only be told THE DAY OF that this in fact is no longer happening," wrote another.
"I spent days trying to coordinate a rally in support of our truckers," reads another comment. "I have three tiny kids and work a full time job and stretched myself thin then made myself look so stupid. I'm pretty hurt by all this."
Some Facebook commenters also accused the organizers of scamming supporters out of money, as they had solicited donations in the days leading up to the convoy's departure from Los Angeles. The group raised just over $8,000 on GiveSendGo.
"What a DISGRACE!! Yesterday, this guy and his convoy were supposed to come through Springville Utah, but they never showed up," reads one particularly long comment. "According to their schedule, they were running late due to snow, but there isn't ANY snow on the route they were taking."
The comment continues, "So now he can openly use other images while he takes donations and credit from everyone who truly believes in this cause. What a shame. He'll get his karma."

(58,785 posts)on different days, but all eventuallly converging in the DC area to arrive March 5-6, though some drivers will only join for a limited portion. This tiny thing that never got going is gone and the others roll on.
One that just rolled through Chicago has adopted Ukrainian flags; how many will continue on to DC wasn't stated. Others were planned to leave TX and WA today. A couple "People's" semis and pickup trucks had an accident in Oklahoma City. Etc, etc.
This is supposed to be "The People's Convoy" that rolled through Amarillo on I-40, according to a local paper. Those are people come out to cheer them on the left.
I-40 always looks like a truck convoy to me, so probably a lot of innocent eastbound truckers have been getting cheers they don't appreciate and my sympathy to them.
"People's" is supposed to arrive in the DC area on March 5 and supposedly intends to drive around and around the Beltway. And whatever.
