Republican Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky told conservative website Daily Signal he's all for anti-vaccine trucker convoys to "clog up" metro areas across the U.S. Meanwhile, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has been well aware that truckers could soon embark for Washington, D.C. Still, this weekend, a more immediate threat could be a convoy headed to the Super Bowl in California.
Actor Ricky Schroder has called on US truckers to “shut down” Washington over COVID-19 vaccine mandates, as he praised Canada’s “Freedom Convoy” truckers.
Californians who are vaccinated will no longer have to wear masks inside come February 15, however the new rule will not include students and faculty at K-12 schools.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) has asked the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) to launch an investigation into GoFundMe after the crowdfunding platform said it would reallocate nearly all of the $10 million in donations for Canada’s “Freedom Convoy” to charity — a move it reversed following backlash from conservatives.
Canadian Pastor Henry Hildebrandt, who made headlines last year for holding in-person worship services despite government edicts restricting such gatherings, spoke out in support of the Freedom Convoy Sunday, calling the demonstration – led by truckers — “God-ordained” and comparing it to the biblical story of Jericho.
Canadian anti-COVID mandate truckers "will desist from the blowing of horns" for the "men and women in blue who are doing such a superb job protecting us."
