WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Hundreds of trucks, recreational vehicles, and cars circled the outskirts of Washington on Sunday, aiming to slow traffic around the capital as part of a protest against pandemic restrictions. The so-called "People's Convoy," which originated in California and has drawn participants from around the country, is calling for an end to all pandemic-related restrictions. It was inspired by demonstrations last month that paralyzed Ottawa, Canada's capital city. Leaders of the convoy said that on Monday they will again slowly drive the Beltway, a 64-mile highway that encircles the city, though details of when the action would take place were not known. Hundreds of vehicles gathered on Friday and Saturday at the Hagerstown Speedway, a racetrack in Maryland about 80 miles (129 km) northwest of downtown Washington. On Sunday morning, many left in convoy to drive two slow laps on the Beltway. They honked their horns as they set off, while onlookers waved American flags, according to a Reuters witness. The convoy, more than 2 miles long, slowed traffic at points along the Beltway by late Sunday morning but did not bring it to a standstill. It returned to the Hagerstown Speedway in the afternoon, according to messages on the convoy's Telegram channel.

'People's Convoy' truck protest targets Washington, slows traffic

Other than a handful of articles, The MSM is being very quiet about this movement, as with The Freedom Convoy in Canada, it'll be only a matter of time before they'll spin a false narrative that the Legacy Media will eat up!
