Convoy news for Saturday, May 21, 2022

I heard on WTOP this morning that the convoy was evicted from the Hagerstown Speedway after fighting broke out.

Zachary Petrizzo Retweeted

The trucker convoy has once again given up on D.C. Before they left, I drove to Hagerstown to try to find out what exactly they wanted.

I did not find out.



Leaders of The People's Convoy have now called Maryland State Troopers on their followers as supporters consider storming into a luxury RV where leaders are hiding.



"They committed fraud," the group continues to yell at four convoy leaders who continually go in and out of a luxury RV. All while state troopers try to de-escalate the situation.



“Arrest them for fucking fraud,” another convoy supporter yelled, attempting to get state troopers to arrest convoy leaders over alleged misuse of funds raised.

or it's fake news. Or something like that. They should ask to stay in his hotels or camp out on his golf resorts.

Perhaps the leaders aren't paying the fuel tabs this time around, using the money to line their pockets and rent a luxury RV. Wonder who might be camping out in there but never is seen by the public.

MAGAt see, MAGAt do.

Too bad they're too blind to see the real crook in their orbit (TFG).
