After a Trump convoy harassed a Biden campaign bus in Texas on Friday, two Trump convoys blocked traffic on the Garden State Parkway and the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge (formerly the Tappan Zee Bridge) in New Jersey and New York on Sunday, the New York Post reports.
The pro-Trumpers exited their vehicles, honked their horns, waved Trump flags and “snarled traffic,” the Post reports.
“We shut it down, baby. We shut it down,” a man says repeatedly on the clip.
The Post reports there was a similar scene on the Mario M. Cuomo Bridge which spans the Hudson River.
Trump supporters can be seen standing on the bridge blocking traffic in a video from FNTV. A woman in the foreground holds two American flags, wears a pink Trump hat and a black shirt with the words “New York F—ing City” written on it.
The people chant “USA, USA, USA.”
The Post reports that New York State Sen. David Carlucci, who is a Democrat, criticized the actions of the convoys on Twitter.
“What was seen in New York was aggressive, dangerous, and reckless behavior by some Trump supporters,” Carlucci said.
“The New York State Police should be working to identify these individuals and charging them. We all have the right to show support for a presidential candidate, but we do not have the right to endanger others and break the law,” he said.
Fox News reported that a Daily Beast reporter in Maryland witnessed another caravan of Trump supporters in wheels. The same scene was also reported Sunday in Pasadena, Calif., a suburb of Los Angeles.
Videos of vehicles traveling together with pro-Trump flags and insignia on freeways and bridges flooded social media over the weekend.
NJ.com reported that Governor Phil Murphy said Monday it was “silly” for President Donald Trump supporters to shut down traffic Sunday on the Garden State Parkway. The governor said he’ll leave it to police officials to “address any fallout” from the caravan of cars and trucks flying Trump flags and other banners that parked on the northbound express lanes.
During aa morning interview on MSNBC, Murphy said: “Boy, to me that was silly. “And by the way, beyond silly, that could have could have been dangerous.”
