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.”

“If Texas was in play, there’d be a lot more campaigning down here than what it has been- Kamala Harris busing into town for three appearances in half a day, then leaving. All this on the Friday before the Election.”

Yeah, the tacky ‘ho with the fake enthusiasm talking to the five people in attendance.

Good synopsis.
I saw a video that showed an earlier part of the procession. The white mini-SUV was directly behind the bus obviously acting as an escort. It and the bus were playing fast and loose with staying in their own lanes. A later video shows the black truck now occupying the position behind the bus. It appears that the SUV is attempting to regain that position by intruding into the position occupied by the truck. The truck does not yield (I wouldn’t either) and the SUV strikes the truck. Like you said, the truck then nudges the SUV out of his lane.

The leftists can feeeeeel however they want about being intimidated - any legitimate claim went out the window when they deliberately struck that truck.

Good job, boys. The next time they come down here after our guns and oil, they will find out what we keep hidden in the back floorboards of those extended cab trucks.

>>I’ve seen very little support for a Harris/Biden administration in Fort Worth. It’s there, but not as prominent as it would be in Austin, Houston, Dallas.<<

In my sleepy hollow little east texas town, there are just as many Biden signs as there are Trump ones in yards. Very hard for me to believe...but they are here. The one good thing, the Trump ones are huge!

I would have thought Texas was safe for Trump, especially with Biden wanting to end the oil industry, but after Kamala's campaign stop in Fort Worth, maybe it's in play after all.

If that white SUV was running security for the bus, they are damn lucky they weren’t stupid enough to flash a gun at them. That’s just what those rednecks were waiting to see.

Those of us opposed to the Left would greatly appreciate if the Left only “harassed” us by driving beside us with flags...instead of surrounding and pounding on our cars in rage mobs and burning down our cities and such.
