WASHINGTON — Texas Sen. Ted Cruz told organizers of the self-described “People’s Convoy” that they speak “for freedom” and it’s time for elected officials to hear their stories.
Cruz and fellow Republican Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., met Tuesday with a large group of truckers and their supporters who have driven across the country to protest the government’s pandemic responses.
The group, largely inspired by the Canadian truckers and protesters who fought vaccine requirements and paralyzed key U.S.-Canadian border crossings, has circled the Washington, D.C-area Capital Beltway for days in what organizers insist is a peaceful, non-disruptive protest.
