Democrat Congressman Suggests the Redistribution of Trucks
PJ Media ^ | Feb. 22, 2022 | Chris Queen

In the wake of the Freedom Convoy in Canada, there’s a convoy of American trucks heading to Washington, D.C. in time for next week’s State of the Union address.

I guess we’ll get a chance to see if the American left can be as tyrannical and authoritarian as Canada’s ruling Liberal Party has been.

The Capitol Police is getting ready to flex its authoritarian muscles already.

“Law enforcement agencies across the National Capital Region are aware of plans for a series of truck convoys arriving in Washington, DC around the time of the State of the Union. As with any demonstration, the USCP will facilitate lawful First Amendment activity,” announced a press release from the Capitol Police last week. “The USCP is closely coordinating with local, state and federal law enforcement agencies, including DC’s Metropolitan Police Department, the United States Park Police, the United States Secret Service and other allied agencies to include the DC National Guard.”

And now, one Democrat congressman has an idea that may or may not be a joke, but it’s definitely a way to one-up Justin Trudeau.

Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-Ariz.) quote tweeted an article about the American convoy on its way to D.C. by saying, “Perfect time to impound and give the trucks to small trucking companies looking to expand their business.”

I don't think he was joking. But he'll say he was after he gets enough backlash.

I have heard of Ruben Gallego before. He has made some very
anti-American remarks in the past.
I don’t think he was joking at all. In fact, he sounds a bit
envious not to be in that same ‘Driver’s Seat’ as a head of state like Trudeau.

Rubin needs to realize those truckers pay his salary, and whatever other benefits he enjoys.

Now the “Those truckers are just Putin operatives” thing is really going to get airtime.

I get it. Take the trucks from the truckers and give them to truckers without trucks. Like the truckers you just took them from. Charge a transfer fee and pocket it. Free money!

What are these democrat legislators smoking? They’ve been given over to a reprobate mindset. Common sense has left them as well as a few republicans.

There are roughly 2,000,000 semi trucks on
America’s roads....
This guy’s alligator mouth overrules his
hummingbird ass.
Start impoundment a man’s means of providing
for his family and all hell is sure to break
loose.
This protest isn’t just about clot shots,
and this ain’t Canada.

Who exactly will be driving the trucks? Last time I checked...it’s pretty difficult to get the license, and based on pay-scale...a fair number of truckers are not that interested in long-haul trucking.

Time to get the trucks out of Ottawa ...

then make sure no trucks come within 100 miles of Ottawa after that.

there’s more than one way for truckers to strike.

It’s my understanding that they don’t plan to stop in DC, they’re just going to pass through and head into Maryland. Honestly, I think that would be wise.

I hope truckers refuse to bring ANYTHING into Gallego’s district.

He’s a worthless, communist sack of crap.
