Trial Begins In 2020 Attack By Cultists On Biden Bus

The Texas Tribune reports:

It’s been four years since a campaign bus carrying Wendy Davis and others was nearly run off the road by a so-called “Trump Train” — a caravan of Republican activists waving giant flags showing support for Donald Trump. Drivers of more than a dozen cars and trucks, honking and shouting, followed the bus on Interstate 35 between San Antonio and San Marcos, weaving in and out of traffic and causing a minor collision between a Biden campaign staffer following the bus and a Trump supporter.

Trump responded with enthusiastic approval: “I LOVE TEXAS!” he wrote in a tweet accompanied by a video of the incident. Democrats subsequently canceled three Biden campaign events in Central Texas due to safety concerns. On Friday, the “Trump Train” heads to court in Austin. The lawsuit alleges multiple members of the caravan violated state law and the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871 by engaging in a conspiracy to disrupt the campaign and intimidate those on the bus.

Some cultists in the caravan were armed.

Last year Texas police were ordered to pay $175,000 for failing to respond to frantic calls from people on the bus.

Marco Rubio, Trump Junior, and Jeanine Pirro were among the prominent cultists who celebrated the attack.

Trump later declared that the FBI should not investigate the attack, saying, “Those patriots did nothing wrong.”
