Democrat Rep. Ruben Gallego (AZ) called for seizing the trucks of protesters headed to Washington, D.C., and then giving the property to businesses looking to grow.
“Perfect time to impound and give the trucks to small trucking companies looking to expand their business,” Gallego tweeted in response to the following news headline: “Trucker convoy could shut down DC Beltway tomorrow.”
“Law enforcement agencies in Maryland, Virginia and D.C. are monitoring what could be a number of trucker convoys coming to D.C.,” the report
said. “Truckers apparently spurred on by the recent protests in Canada want their voices heard, but the extent of the protests and how disruptive they may be is still unclear.”
Notable responses included:
- Dana Loesch, radio host: “Also known as theft.”
- Kurt Schlichter, political commentator: “Siding with foreign dictators.”
- Robert Arce, former law enforcement official: “Will your distribution of wealth be done at gunpoint?”
- Nick Searcy, actor: “Why don’t you just murder them like a good communist, @RubenGallego?”
Gallego’s tweet comes after Canada’s leftist government enacted harsh measures, which have been widely criticized as being totalitarian in nature, to end the trucker protests in Canada.
