Roger Marshall gives trucker protesters a Capitol tour
Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) gave truckers in the so-called “People’s Convoy” a tour of the Capitol last week —
even as the building remains mostly closed to the public.
A senior congressional aide alerted the Department of Justice about the truckers’ presence out of concern that the
guided tour could help the protesters plan an entry into the building.
“Today we’re getting right next to their walls,” said Mike Landis, a People’s Convoy co-organizer, per the Washington Post.
“We’re not going to go in and throat-punch them just yet, even though I know we would all love to do that.”
Participants in the convoy have met with several members of Congress this month, including Sens. Ted Cruz (R-Texas)
and Ron Johnson (R-Wis.), and threatened to keep circling the Beltway until their demands to drop Covid restrictions
are met. Johnson’s office said it did not offer tours to participants. A Cruz spokesperson did not respond to a request
for comment.
