American truckers inspired by the Freedom Convoy in Canada have been organizing an action to end in Washington, D.C., to present their case in objection to Joe Biden’s continuation of a state of emergency and continuing of COVID mandates.
But Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) is advocating that their trucks be seized and redistributed.
Perfect time to impound and give the trucks to small trucking companies looking to expand their business. https://t.co/1pHURh0hbr

“Perfect time to impound and give the trucks to small trucking companies looking to expand their business,” Gallego tweeted.
Oh, lovely, Gallego is advocating a completely unconstitutional seizure, disregarding the Fourth Amendment. This guy took an oath to the Constitution while serving in the military, but he doesn’t seem to know the first thing about what it says. He isn’t saying if they break the law and are judged guilty, to then grab the trucks. Just if they dare to protest, that they should be seized.
This is where an elected member of Congress is going publicly. In case you thought what was happening in Canada was far away from us, it is very real. And in the minds of some like Gallego, they would be all-in on it. Redistribution to the people he would rather get the trucks — how communistic of Gallego. He doesn’t get that the people who would be protesting would likely be those hardest hit by COVID restrictions — the small truckers that he claims to care about. If you wonder how you get to things like Canada and dictatorships, this is a wake-up call.
But it’s not just Gallego, and that’s why it’s very troubling.
A new poll from Trafalgar Group and Convention of States Action finds that Democrats overwhelmingly favor Trudeau’s actions against the Freedom Convoy: 65 percent said they approved, with 17 percent disapproving. The fact that you get that kind of number from Democrats should be yet another reason that Democrats should not be elected in November.
Republican responses were weighted even more heavily against Trudeau, however, with 87% of likely GOP voters disapproving to just 8% approving. Respondents who said they did not belong to either one of the two main parties cut against Trudeau’s crackdown with 74% disapproving versus 21% approving.
Aside from Democrats, the only other demographic areas identified in the poll that cut in Trudeau’s favor are the ages 65 and older category and among blacks and Hispanics. Every other demographic – men, women, Asian, white, younger age groups – disapproved of Trudeau’s handling of the protesters.
The largest difference in approval versus disapproval took place among 25 to 34-year-olds. In that age group, 100% of respondents disapproved of Trudeau’s tactics.
So, that ultimately broke down to 55 percent of likely voters disapproving, but 35 percent approving. While it’s comforting that the Republicans and independents have sense — even if Democrats don’t, it shouldn’t even be that high an approval number. But it is because of the Democrats’ responses. So much for the Constitution, freedom, the right to protest, or protecting individual rights. That all goes out the window with Democrats.
Just a reminder about that “support” would involve: seizing bank accounts for daring to protest, conscripting people forcing them to work for the government to oppress protesters, banning protest, fencing off a city, setting up checkpoints, beating protesters including with a gun butt, running disabled people over with horses.

Democrats are for all of this — and more.
Commie.
Maybe trucks just won’t visit Gallego’s congressional district. No food for you commies!

Democrats: “Let’s make fascism great again!!”
I wonder instead of a trucker convoy, if truckers went on a nationwide strike, what would happen, you might get more involvement from Truckers, and it would be much harder for law enforcement stop.
The question is how many truckers would support a strike and would enough join to make a difference.
Canadian truckers weren’t armed; bet ours will be?
Well these trucking guys aren’t rich, and it’s not like the UAW where they get paid from a big strike fund for not working. I see that as a real challenge.
Yes, they do, so they have an excuse to impose martial law and crack down hard on the right and obliterate it.
So?
We’ll fund them. Let Dems try and stop us and they’ll get home visits from patriots.
THE TREE IF LIBERTY IS THIRSTY!
That is very true, what I fear is what will happen to any of the truckers who go all the way to Washington.
We know the Democrats are itching for another 1/6 type event and use it to run on in November.
On Steve Bannon’s War Room tonight, Bannon mentioned there is talk of calling out the National Guard before the Truckers make it to Washington.
If the Truckers make it to Washington, even if they remain 100% peaceful, if they managed to shutdown Washington to some degree, I fear they will end up like the 1/6 protesters in a dungeon without bail with bank accounts frozen and their trucks impounded.
So???? So I found it surprising and disappointing...
Did you?
By “so?” I was saying I don’t give a crap if he served.
I would like to wave at the convoy but they are not going through the South.
He’s gotta have some skeletons. His wife divorced him in 2017 right before the birth of their son. Who does that?
I always knew dems would rip up the Constitution as soon as they got into power. Proof.
I have not heard of any UNION supporting this action.
