Pro-Trump trucker protest organizer dismayed only 10 showed up after predicting massive turnout

https://www.rawstory.com/trucker-convoy-2656819726/

Rage against Joe Biden failed to materialize on Tuesday at a trucker rally held near the Washington Monument ahead of the president's State of the Union address.

Organizer Kyle Sefcik told Washington NBC 4 that he hoped several thousand people would attend his rally at the Sylvan Theater.

Daily Beast reporter Zachary Petrizzo reported there were "more press and police than rally-goers."

"Where are the trucks?" Sefcik asked during his speech.

"Where are the trucks? I know the ones that I had planned coming that are local friends and family, I know they're not even allowed in because they need a commercial license and have proof of a checkoff today because of the checkpoints so they weren't even able to stage and make it look cool here," he complained.

What will they have to complain about later? They just want to do anything to hurt democracies. Still mad Trump didn't win and angry that their lies have been exposed.

Covid is "all over" for now; you missed your window of stupidity.

You're gonna have to wait for the next variant.

...while he's slaughtering innocent children and bombing Holocaust memorials. Just lost the news cycle sparkie...

Why don't you drive on down to Merde-a-Lardo and visit the Putin Library? You know, the one with the boxes of all the illegal top secret documents that haven't been flushed yet. . I'm sure the resident will give you parking space for the 18 wheeler by the servant's entrance for the illegal alien laborers.

Next time, maybe stop being an idiot wannabe junior grifter and go online where all the world class thieves get rich.

Go Bitcoin/Meta baby...

Unbelievable. A huge stage with two acoustic guitars (that must be the "christian" music entertainment promised) and the organizer talking about the two gyms he owns.

It's the "deep state" I tell 'ya! All the truckers are in the basement of a Pizzaria in Georgetown being sold into sex slavery.

They took JFK Jr. to Mar-ma-lardo for safe keeping, while "Q" is pulling all the levers of power from an undisclosed location in Washington, DC.

THE TRUCKERS WILL RISE AGAIN!
