Democrat Proposes Seizing Property from Protesters Headed Toward D.C.

As law enforcement monitors a truck convoy moving towards D.C., one congressman has a novel (and illegal) idea to halt their progress.

“Freedom Convoy” protests began in Canada when leagues of truckers, fed up with COVID mandates, occupied the area around the capital in Ottawa. The protests came to an end when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau controversially enacted emergency powers which allowed law enforcement to arrest protesters, freeze their bank accounts, and tow away their trucks.

Police in the DC area say they are aware of talks of truck convoys clogging up roads and shutting down the Beltway, but those are only rumors at this point. That didn’t stop Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) from sharing his solution to the potential protesters:

His comment is particularly unsavory given the totalitarian conditions under which Canadian protesters were ultimately subdued.

One of the so-called “threats” of protest comes from the owner of a towing company in Scranton, PA. Bob Bolus says he and a convoy of fellow truckers plan to shut down the Beltway later this week.

“We’re challenging the high prices of fuel,” he said.

Bolus said they are also protesting vaccine mandates, critical race theory and people in jail facing charges related to the Capitol insurrection. He said the convoy will start from Pennsylvania’s capitol in Harrisburg before coming to D.C.

Local news reports the convoy has departed and will reach D.C. at some point Wednesday afternoon. Bolus’ convoy is separate from the “People’s Convoy” which is set to depart Southern California at some point Wednesday and make its way to D.C. for Biden’s State of the Union address.

Really!!! What happen to the true Patriotic Culture in Arizona. Did you all get thoroughly indoctrinated into Marxism in your public school systems??? Why actually voted for the Commie Libertard Moonbat??? Because only a Marxist could have supported him.

Another politician who has never read the Constitution, or has read it and chooses to violate it. He would have avoided his illegal statements had he said first “in my opinion”, or had he first said that voted need a Constitutional Ammendment to…”. Of course, he didn’t and is guilty of calling for crimes against Constitutionally guaranteed rights.

How about; we remove all of the Socialist-Democrats and R.I.N.O.S. by armed force, and detain those who have committed crimes from both The House, and The Senate. We have a list of treasonous-political-personalities who require adjudication because our D.O.J. has been infiltrated by Socialist-Goons of the WOKE culture which, in essence makes everyone an agent of the CCP, just as is the FAUX-P.O.T.U.S. A GREAT DOMESTIC-WAR is about to begin and the targets are politicians, and big-tech owners!

I think you are on the right track but your classification of the ‘Goons’ should actually be centered on the NWO elitists. They are using the socialist principles to destroy the rights given us as humans, by The Almighty One. Most countries have already been compromised and the end results are always the same; as are the results of democracy. Democracies are problematic as they will always degenerate into anarchy and/r dictatorships. We have a perfect example in Canada; which has now moved into an actual dictatorship, where the people no longer have any control over the powers of the government.

I would think Gallego would have more important things to do like fixing the voter fraud or illegals flooding into this country through his state. I would think you wouldn’t treat truckers like this without them nothing moves. I appreciate what they do I like being able to buy what I need when I need it. God, democrats are slime.

The fruits of the de-education of our country…they don’t teach the children about the Constitution and the branches of govt.They’re too busy teaching them to hate themselves,their country and that theres no such thing as male and female.This human waste Gallego is just the first fruits of decades of dumbing down and creating self loathing anti American morons …they have plenty of voters out there willing to give up their rights and freedoms aswell…in the name of political correctness.

While we argue here, don’t think for a moment they will just sit by, and listen to anyone, no doubt they will try and follow Canada’s example. I have heard no-one speak out against what Canada did to its own people, anyone suggest sanctions, against Canada? LOL In my youth I was a Teamster, we knew we could shut down the country anytime we wanted, but we didn’t. You are dealing with little people in politics, no character, no values, no substance, all out for themselves, except a few.

Representative Gallego should be immediately removed from his position. He obviously has never been educated on The Constitution and the Amendments. His suggestion broaches the 1st; 4th; and 8th; Amendments. Such ignorance of our foundational laws has no place in our government.
Actually; that ignorance should not be allowed in any political office. Our 3 part government is supposed to hold check on each other.
The problem we have today is that most people have not been taught these principles in the modern educations system. One of the most important understandings which have been deliberately deleted from schooling is the fact that WE THE PEOPLE are the boss, the politicians serve at our pleasure. If they are not doing their job it is our job to remove any “employee” who is not doing their job!!!

Apparently, this “person” has no idea what his Oath of Office was for,
or what’s WRITTEN in our U.S. Constitution, as in the First Amendment.
Peaceful Protests, are provided for in our FIRST AMENDMENT.
From what has been provided…THIS Protest is following all the Rules.

Mr. Gallego is effectively advocating the overthrow of our Constitutional system by the illegal use of force against the people. If he conspires with another person to put his mad idea into effect, that’s sedition. If he carries it out, that’s insurrection. See USC 18 §2384

By the way, readers who suggest violence against this clown should read the statute also. It’s more effective and appropriate to tar him politically as someone who advocates having the government commit armed robbery against peaceful protestors – he would have had the government take away the cars and trucks used by blacks to join Dr. Martin Luther King’s marches. We want his ideas repudiated rather than having him made a martyr for the cause of overgrown government.
