Rand Paul & Republicans Want Truckers to “Clog Up Cities”
UN-Patriotic Republicans prove they hate the United States & Citizens because they want Truckers to “Clog Up Cities”, “Shut Down” the Super Bowl, worsen the supply chain by disrupting businesses, commerce and disrupt American’s lives by making it difficult to travel and get supplies from stores.
“Sen. Rand Paul: I Hope Truckers Come To D.C. & L.A., “Clog Up Cities”. Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) said as a supporter of civil disobedience he would welcome truckers to demonstrate in Washington D.C. and at the Super Bowl in Los Angeles this weekend”.
In the above video, Lawrence O’Donnell points out that if Truckers were to follow Rand Paul’s advice, they could lose their Insurance and CDL license for LIFE.

Anti-Protest Conservatives Sure Do Love the Trucker Blockade Causing ‘Deep Pain’ to American Companies
Republican politicians and conservative commentators have praised the Canadian trucker convoy wreaking havoc on the automotive industry.
Per the above article: Republicans who bashed Black Lives Matter demonstrations are now singing the praises of unlawful anti-vax protests wreaking havoc on international commerce.
Tucker Carlson says, is a good thing. “The blockade has forced the Ford Motor Company to shut down one of its manufacturing plants, and to operate another plant with a skeleton crew,” the Fox News host said on his show Thursday night. “Toyota says it won’t be able to manufacture in Ontario for the rest of the week. General Motors has canceled multiple shifts at its plant in Lansing, Michigan, due to part shortages.”
Carlson then lauded how the protest is causing “deep pain” to the industry, calling it “the single most successful human rights protest in a generation.”

“Carlson represents only a fraction of Fox News’ coverage of the convoy. Matt Gertz of Media Matters pointed out on Friday that the network’s coverage of the convoy has skyrocketed in the past week, with commentators pushing for an American version of the protest. Some have even called for truckers to shut down the Super Bowl . The prospect of such a shutdown is far-fetched, but NPR on Thursday obtained a Department of Homeland Security memo warning that tuckers could block roads in American cities in the coming weeks. The memo mentioned the Super Bowl as a potential target.
So, no, the Republicans politicians and conservative commentators who spent the early part of the winter melting down over supply chain issues don’t care about how the blockade is disrupting commerce. They raised hell about how restrictions meant to prevent a pandemic from killing people were slowing the gears of the economy, but this is fine. In fact, it’s encouraged. Some Republicans are using their power to help ensure the convoy is well-funded.

PHOENIX – An Arizona state senator is encouraging American truckers to gridlock this weekend’s Super Bowl in Los Angeles the same way their Canadian
Per the above article: Republican Arizona Senator Wendy Rogers “is encouraging American truckers to gridlock this weekend’s Super Bowl in Los Angeles the same way their Canadian brothers and sisters of the road have shut down Ottawa, Ontario, in recent days to protest COVID-19 restrictions. If truckers shut down the Super Bowl it would partially be payback for Colin Kaepernick and the kneeling.”

While protests and traffic blockades inspired by the Ottawa protests have gained steamed in Australia, New Zealand, and Europe, similar rallies in the United States have been slower to take off despite plenty of chatter in extremist circles and favorable coverage by right-wing outlets such as Fox News. On Friday, U.S. organizers, including Penny Faye of an organization dubbed “Convoy to Save America,”
Blockades on Canada-US Border Continue as Protests Swell
WINDSOR, Ontario (AP) – Protesters at the busiest border crossing between the United States and Canada remained Saturday despite new warnings to end the blockade that has disrupted the flow of goods between the two countries and forced the auto industry on both sides to roll back production.
A tense standoff at a U.S.-Canadian border crossing crucial to both countries’ economies appeared to be dissolving peacefully Saturday as Canadian police moved in to disperse the nearly weeklong blockade and demonstrators began leaving without resistance.
Many demonstrators drove away from the Ambassador Bridge spanning the river between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, as scores of police approached shortly after dawn. They had spent the night there in defiance of new warnings to end the blockade, which disrupted the flow of traffic and goods and forced the auto industry on both sides to roll back production.
