The Guardian reports:
Trucks with Trump signs and flags surrounded a Biden campaign bus on a Texas highway on Friday and attempted to slow the vehicle down and run it off the road, the Biden campaign said on Saturday. Several video clips posted on social media by both Biden and Trump supporters showed the trucks surrounding the bus. The trucks then tried to slow the bus down and run it off the road before staff called 911, according to the Biden campaign.
The president himself appeared to endorse the behavior of his supporters, tweeting a video of the incident on Saturday evening along with the comment “I LOVE TEXAS!” Some of the Trump supporters surrounding the Biden campaign bus were armed, according to Democratic state representative Rafael Anchía and other observers. Texas state Democrats also said they cancelled a campaign event on Friday evening for “public safety and security reasons.”

What the President tweeted in regards to Texas is reckless, dangerous and an intimidation tactic. It’s not something we should come to accept from our leaders. The people of our great country have the opportunity to turn the corner here. VOTE. HIM. OUT.

The president of the United States is endorsing domestic terrorism. This isn’t hyperbole. It’s a simple fact. These Trump supporters tried to run a bus off the road that was carrying top Texas Democratic officials en route to a campaign event. People could have died. https://t.co/wP6JzJrwZw

Trump is now gloating about his supporters surrounding a Biden campaign bus on the highway
“Anybody see the picture of their crazy bus driving down the highway, they are surrounded by hundreds of cars, they are all Trump flags.”
“It’s like a hot thing.”

Truck pushes both the bus and car to the point of straddling both lanes. #TexasPolice refuse to defend against Trump road rage pic.twitter.com/jmkuqKq44E

Clearer video of the incident Trump is celebrating. You can see here one truck attempts to stop in front of the bus to force it to stop. Another shoves a car aside behind the bus. https://t.co/JlKELFspRY
