Republicans who bashed Black Lives Matter demonstrations are now singing the praises of unlawful anti-vax protests wreaking havoc on international commerce
a Department of Homeland Security memo warning that tuckers could block roads in American cities in the coming weeks. The memo mentioned the Super Bowl as a potential target.
Republican politicians, as they are wont to do, are following their favorite network’s lead. “The Canadian truckers are heroes,” Sen. Ted Cruz told Maria Bartiromo earlier this week. “They are patriots and they are marching for your freedom and for my freedom.Rep. Jim Jordan , also speaking on Fox News. “They are so sick of the double standard, so sick of the mandates. What they want is what God gave them. Freedom. That’s what this is all about. God bless those truckers for standing firm.
Jordan’s comments came in response to a question about how the protest is creating supply chain issues, which, as Carlson gleefully noted, is doing a number on the automotive industry. “This interruption on the Detroit/Windsor bridge hurts customers, auto workers, suppliers, communities and companies on both sides of the border that are already two years into parts shortages resulting from the global semiconductor issue, COVID and more,” Ford said in a statement released on Thursday.
So, no, the Republicans politicians and conservative commentators who spent the early part of the winterdon’t care about how the blockade is disrupting commerce. They raised hell about how restrictions meant to prevent a pandemic from killing people were slowing the gears of the economy, but this is fine. In fact, it’s encouraged. Some Republicans are using their power to help ensure the convoy is well-funded.
