Armed Trump supporters harass Biden campaign bus in Texas

An ugly incident in which Trump supporters in pickups surrounded a Biden campaign bus on an interstate highway and tried to run it off the road in Texas on Friday, October 29, 2020.

Daily Beast reported, “Historian Dr. Eric Cervini was driving to help with the Biden campaign stop when he filmed a line of pickup trucks along the highway, many of them flying Trump flags. The drivers were ‘waiting to ambush the Biden/Harris campaign bus as it traveled from San Antonio to Austin,’ Cervini tweeted. ‘These Trump supporters, many of whom were armed, surrounded the bus on the interstate and attempted to drive it off the road,’ he alleged. ‘They outnumbered police 50-1, and they ended up hitting a staffer’s car.'” In the video below, the collision appears to be intentional.

The Daily Beast report continues, “A Biden campaign staffer told The Daily Beast that Trump supporters surrounded the bus on the highway and slowed down in front of it, attempting to stop it or run it off the road. The official sent a picture taken on the bus, showing Trump trucks surrounding the front of the vehicle. Staffers on the bus called police, who helped the bus reach its destination. … Rep. Sheryl Cole, a Democrat representing nearby Pflugerville in Texas’s House, announced that a Biden event in her city had been canceled due to the harassment.”

No arrests were reported.

    Criminal behavior by trump supporters.
    If the license plate numbers of these criminals for blocking, harassing, menacing and intimidation, were recorded charges should be filed.

    These are not law abiding Americans. This is the criminal element of trump’s followers to break laws, commit crimes in order to install trump as president.

    Ambushed. Carrying weapons. Running people off the road.

    Illegal behavior being condoned, by those with their broken moral compass seeing nothing wrong with their illegal behavior as long as “their side wins”.
