The Independent reports:
Republican US Senator Ted Cruz visited the “People’s Convoy” in Maryland, even riding along in the lead vehicle and waving to protesters.
Mr Cruz met with the convoy organisers earlier this week, and joined the truckers on Thursday near their encampment in Hagerstown, Maryland. During his visit, Mr Cruz rode in the passenger seat of the convoy’s lead truck.
Organiser Brett Brase, a trucker from Ohio, viewed Mr Cruz’s decision to visit the rally as a needed shot of adrenaline for a protest effort whose media interest was largely eclipsed by the war in Ukraine.

A trucker with The People’s Convoy riding behind Ted Cruz this morning says many Beltway commuters have been flicking the truckers off: “We go around the Beltway, birds are flying. Birds are flying everywhere. That’s the kind of people that live up there.”

After taking yesterday off due to light rain, Sen. Ted Cruz joined The People’s Convoy in Hagerstown this morning and will lead the truckers as they head back to the Beltway. With Cruz leading, they will try again to take up two Beltway traffic lanes despite failing in days past.

Grease weasel Ted Cruz, human bidet, has visited the ‘Trucker Convoy’ because he’s so desperate for some sweet, sweet, QAnon cash. His wife is head of private wealth division of Goldman Sachs in Houston, you would think River Oaks could fund his campaigns. @tedcruz
