Cancun Cruz & Ron John the clown meet with 'People's Convoy' truckers

Trucker protesters against COVID vaccine mandates and restrictions met Tuesday with a pair of Republican lawmakers for two hours on Capitol Hill.

Republican Sens. Ron Johnson of Wisconsin and Ted Cruz of Texas spoke with a small group of protesters from "The People's Convoy," who said they won't end their now three-day long circuit along the D.C. beltway -- traveling around 55-60 miles per hour along the often congested corridors of Maryland and Virginia -- until they sit down with other members of Congress and their demands for the rollbacks of a national state of emergency and vaccine mandates are met.

Convoy truckers are also asking for congressional hearings on the origins of the pandemic along with an investigation into state and federal COVID responses.

"We're gonna keep looping the beltway until heard," said convoy organizer Brian Brase. "We're not going anywhere. We're not gonna leave. We're gonna keep doing what we're doing until we start getting more meetings like we just had today."

When they’re down to a worn out big wheel and rusty Swinn with dirty streamers on the handle bars.

Granted a playing card in the spokes and a flat side on the wheel can up the annoying.

For the others, I hope they got their money in advance.

"Convoy truckers are also asking for congressional hearings on the origins of the pandemic along with an investigation into state and federal COVID responses".

Let's investigate how many unnecessary deaths there were due to Team tRump at the Fed level and how the GQP leaders at the state and local levels also were responsible for more deaths. I agree with the convoy, go figure. I doubt they see it from this perspective though. These are the same geniuses who are complaining about the price of gas as they drive their mega-trucks in circles for days. Brilliant.

“All that money they are wasting on gas to protest something that's not being enforced anymore shows they are sheep to rich political operatives.”

Funny I had so many likes for my comments and the guy who called me a dumb ass and that I was backwards. He got attacked unmercifully and it was wonderful. I had went to a excellent movie ( uncharted) and didn’t check until I came home 4 hours later.
