Republicans who bashed Black Lives Matter demonstrations are now singing the praises of unlawful anti-vax protests wreaking havoc on international commerce

a Department of Homeland Security memo warning that tuckers could block roads in American cities in the coming weeks. The memo mentioned the Super Bowl as a potential target.

Republican politicians, as they are wont to do, are following their favorite network’s lead. “The Canadian truckers are heroes,” Sen. Ted Cruz told Maria Bartiromo earlier this week. “They are patriots and they are marching for your freedom and for my freedom.Rep. Jim Jordan , also speaking on Fox News. “They are so sick of the double standard, so sick of the mandates. What they want is what God gave them. Freedom. That’s what this is all about. God bless those truckers for standing firm.

Jordan’s comments came in response to a question about how the protest is creating supply chain issues, which, as Carlson gleefully noted, is doing a number on the automotive industry. “This interruption on the Detroit/Windsor bridge hurts customers, auto workers, suppliers, communities and companies on both sides of the border that are already two years into parts shortages resulting from the global semiconductor issue, COVID and more,” Ford said in a statement released on Thursday.

So, no, the Republicans politicians and conservative commentators who spent the early part of the winterdon’t care about how the blockade is disrupting commerce. They raised hell about how restrictions meant to prevent a pandemic from killing people were slowing the gears of the economy, but this is fine. In fact, it’s encouraged. Some Republicans are using their power to help ensure the convoy is well-funded.

lol are the truckers burning anything down yet?

Learned from the best. 🤷🏾‍♂️

Reminder who did all the violence at BLM protests .... Whoops

Because nothing is on fire! And people aren’t getting smashed over the head. Is it really that hard to figure out?

You guys are National Enquirer-tier at this point.

That’s because they’re not burning down businesses and killing people.

The anti vaxxers aren not looting and breaking up cities..

Pretty sure it’s all political stances and NOT just gop. Stop gaslighting and lying for fucking once.

Quite the problem for Commie JoeBiden hey? There's been no buildings burnt down, cars torched and no attacks on store owners at all, nor have Canadian truckers murdered any police officers yet, like what happened last Summer when BLM rampaged.

And vice versa

JackHockett1 Republicans = Hypocrisy on Steroids.

Makes me wonder how deranged anti-vaxxers think terrorizing another country helps their illogical cause.

but they will gladly 'run down' anyone from BLM even crossing a road near them.
