Hopeful Americans Traveled Thousands of Miles to Speak with DC Lawmakers, But Dems Had an Ugly Reaction

It's disheartening when people have something to say yet Democrats refuse to give them a listen, especially after they have traveled thousands of miles to Washington, D.C. Take the People's Convoy, a group of truckers opposed to a number of pandemic-related mandates.

Following Cruz's endorsement, the truckers made their way to Washington, where they hoped to make progress with politicians and see if something could be done about the mandates.

The truckers finally concluded that Democrats like high gas prices, perhaps to penalize Americans for using fossil fuels.

No wonder, since one of the first things President Joe Biden did after assuming office was to kill the Keystone Pipeline and put barriers in the way of fracking and drilling, triggering rising gas prices.

Aside from the cold shoulder from Democrats, D.C. residents regularly flipped them off, a bicyclist trolled them by riding in front of the trucks at a slow pace, and the group's attempt to get a permit to stay at the National Mall was vehemently denied.

It's doubtful any Democratic politicians are concerned about pandemic mandates and skyrocketing gas prices.

What's more, the independent drivers who pay for their own gas should not be penalized by Biden and Democrats insisting on attacking the oil and gas industry instead of being energy independent as we were under President Donald Trump.
