Biden Team Cancels Texas Event After Highway ‘Ambush’ by MAGA Cavalry
The Daily Beast ^ | Oct. 31, 2020 | Kelly Weill

Joe Biden’s presidential campaign canceled a Friday event in Austin, Texas, after harassment from a pro-Trump contingent.

Texas has emerged as a battleground state in Tuesday’s presidential election, with polls showing the typically Republican stronghold now only marginally favoring President Donald Trump. The Biden campaign scheduled a Friday event in the state, in a bid to drum up last-minute support.

But when the Biden campaign bus drove to Austin, it was greeted by a blockade of pro-Trump demonstrators, leading to what one Texas House representative described as an escalation “well beyond safe limits.”

They didn’t leave Texas immediately. The Biden Bus has to stop at a gas station for a mass diaper change.

My middle class hard working neighborhood has zero signs supporting either. I’m in N FW though. I’m really surprised at TCU area having a bit.

I’ve kept my support quiet

Fwiw, my GUESS is that the DIMs canceled the event because NO (or VERY FEW) Biden/Harris supporters showed up.

“Crazy Uncle Joe” had one scheduled rally in PA where NOBODY but a few members of the “RAT-controlled” PRESS showed up.
(Even “LOONY Joe” had to be embarrassed by that fiasco.)

The low turnouts for Biden are being explained as “limited invitations” to mitigate close contact and Covid risks. Yeah, right.

Texas is a swing state. As in Bob Wills and the Texas Playboys.

As the left loves to say...”This is what democracy looks like”. They just don’t like it if their opponents do it too.

The SIMPLE way to spell the DIMocRATS Biden/Harris ticket: L-O-S-E-R-S.

It won’t even be close here in TEXAS.

From what I can gather:

The small white SUV tried to squeeze between the black truck and the bus - at highway speeds, mind you.

Since the black truck was close to the bus (not enough car lengths to allow an SUV) the small white SUV moved into the trucks' lane and the same space occupied by the truck. Again, at highway speeds.

The truck was struck by the little baby SUV, took offense to it, and pushed it back into its lane.

The tiny white SUV then gives up and pulls along side the Harris Biden bus.

One has to read a lot of useless Twit posts to put this together with the 13 seconds of video posted. Someone posted a pic of the side of the SUV, complaining that the truck “attacked” her. No, it looked to me that the SUV driver was over the line into the space occupied by a larger truck.

And the campaign bus was carrying Harris Biden staffers to some obscure, now canceled Austin event.

Ms. H-U-H was in the Rio Grande Valley imploring her supporters to keep manufacturing non-existent votes so she can be president.

Amazing what these people consider dangerous. Unbelievable! Arson and looting are acceptable but “harassment” is dangerous. I didn’t even see what the woman in the car was exclaiming about - I didn’t see anyone driving dangerously..and she was having a fit over what?

This isn’t lop-sided reporting at all, but then it is that Lib pit of idiots Austin. Beautiful country full of snowflakes and loons.

(and my ex-wife, who fits right in.)

Best to head west to New Mexico for safety.

Even in New Mexico, they'd best pick their route carefully.

Did the trumpers point guns as them? I highly doubt that. Although it’s probably safe to assume they WERE armed. After all, it IS Texas.
