NEW: an organizer of one of the #TruckersForFreedom convoys says the plan is not to park in DC, but to shut down the Beltway.
Bob Bolus says he plans to leave PA on Wed & circle DC: “I’ll give you an analogy of that of a giant boa constrictor.” @fox5dc
MORE: Bob Bolus is staunchly pro Trump & when I asked why he’s coming to DC w/ plans to shut down Beltway, he had a list of complaints. I found his info on FB page where convoy organizers are sharing their routes/plans. There are a bunch of different groups & organizers.
I reached out to @VSPPIO & @MDSP tonight, asking if they had heard about potential plans to shut down Beltway this week. Response I just from VSP.
From @MDSP on possible efforts by trucker convoys to shut down Beltway:
“MSP is aware and has been in contact with our law enforcement partners in the region.”
As DC prepares ahead of #TruckersForFreedom convoy, an organizer says his plan is not to shut down DC, but the Beltway around it. Part of my report on @fox5dc tonight.
