Roger Marshall gives trucker protesters a Capitol tour

Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) gave truckers in the so-called “People’s Convoy” a tour of the Capitol last week —
even as the building remains mostly closed to the public.

A senior congressional aide alerted the Department of Justice about the truckers’ presence out of concern that the
guided tour could help the protesters plan an entry into the building.

“Today we’re getting right next to their walls,” said Mike Landis, a People’s Convoy co-organizer, per the Washington Post.
“We’re not going to go in and throat-punch them just yet, even though I know we would all love to do that.”

Participants in the convoy have met with several members of Congress this month, including Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas)
and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), and threatened to keep circling the Beltway until their demands to drop Covid restrictions
are met. Johnson’s office said it did not offer tours to participants. A Cruz spokesperson did not respond to a request
for comment.

Like a threat to punch someone in the throat.

Nothing to see here. Just some peaceful tourists.

These truckers are anti-American. Why the fuck would they even want a tour of the Capitol?

He's every bit as stupid and ridiculous as Boebert and Greene and apparently as proud of it as they are. Thankfully, he doesn't seem to have developed self promotion skills to the same degree.
