Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) visited the “People’s Convoy” at the Hagerstown Speedway on Thursday and rode shotgun in the lead truck, with plans for the vehicle to head into Washington for a news conference, while the rest of the convoy circles the Capital Beltway to protest pandemic health restrictions aimed to curb the spread of the coronavirus.

“Your voice is being heard,” Cruz told the crowd as truckers, drivers and supporters held up their phones and cameras to capture his speech. “What the men and women want here is for the government to leave you the hell alone. ... That is the most American sentiment you could imagine.”

Example of a politician seeing a parade and running to the head of it.

His being a Senator helps the truckers get more exposure for their cause, which is IMO more important than the media 24/7 Ukraine coverage.

Literally every American has been harmed by the outrageous handling of Covid, by our illegitimate, totalitarian government.

Good for him 👍.

BTW Cruz was one of only 6 senators (and 20 House members) to vote against certifying the 2020 fraudulent election.

Cruz is usually on the right side of issues.

He’s one of our better Senators.

There is not much coverage on any network. Ted might be doing it for the right reasons. If they did cover it, the media would pummel him and the convoy. Maybe we should give him the benefit of the doubt.

Cruz took the day off from pounding the table for war with Russia to ride in a truck.

The liberal 'press' is doing a cancel by ignoring the issue. The press whores for the democrat party.
