Truck convoy protesting COVID mandates is heading to California

A group of truck drivers protesting COVID-19 mandates on roads and highways around the Washington, D.C., area in recent weeks will head to California next, an organizer announced Sunday night.

During a livestream of the People’s Convoy nightly rally Sunday, organizer Mike Landis read a list of measures aimed at controlling COVID-19 in California, The Herald-Mail reported.

“I think stopping those is more important at this point in time than getting the emergency declaration repealed because that’s already in place and we need to stop stuff like these bills from getting in place,” Landis said, “otherwise, the rest of us that don’t live in California are going to end up subject to the same situation.”

Just what California needs, a bunch of idiots in semis fucking up our already FUBAR traffic. California has dropped just about all the covid mandates, so I don't know what the fuck they're protesting.

Diesel is $6/gal in California. These are not rich people. Someone is covering their gas bill.

Yeah, something is funding them. And also keeping that protest in the news cycle.
