Several conservative media icons in the United States have joined the cause of Canadian truckers who have occupied portions of Ottawa and stopped border crossings in order to oppose COVID-19 regulations and vaccination requirements.
This week, Fox News Channel’s Sean Hannity supported the truckers by airing three live stories from Ottawa, while Tucker Carlson’s web store is selling “I (love) Tucker” t-shirts that have been modified to say “I (heart) Truckers.”
“Please tell these truckers that the American working people, the people in this nation, stand in sympathy with what they’re doing and the freedom movement that they’re leading,” Hannity said on his broadcast Wednesday to reporter Sara Carter. She delivered his message to Ottawa demonstrators.
The US Department of Homeland Security notified local and state law enforcement personnel in a warning that it had received information of similar protests planned in the United States.
According to the CIA, the demonstration might start this weekend in Southern California and expand to Washington around the State of the Union speech in March.
COVID-19 vaccinations, which are typically given in two doses and followed by a booster injection, are thought to be very successful in avoiding major disease and death. While vaccinated, some persons can still contract the coronavirus, particularly the Omicron variety, but most instances are minor. The great majority of those who contract the illness are unvaccinated.
The Daily Wire’s Ben Shapiro claimed on his show, in front of a headline that Canadians were “fed up” with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, that mandates had to end. Protesters are especially outraged by a mandate that all truck drivers entering the nation be properly vaccinated against the coronavirus. Approximately 90% of Canadian truckers are currently doing so.
“Nobody wants huge bridges to be closed down,” Shapiro remarked. “No matter what you’re demonstrating for, obstructing traffic is terrible.” The reason of this protest, on the other hand, is just.”
