Johnson said the truckers are taking “extraordinary measures” to “get the unbiased news out.” To him, what the convoy is trying to convey is to “lay out the damage being done by these emergency orders [and] all these mandates,” he told The Epoch Times.
Doctors, nurses, truck drivers, and grocery clerks are heroes who kept the U.S. economy going early in the COVID-19 pandemic, Johnson said.

I’m proud of our American Truckers! We stand with them 💯%. God Bless each and everyone of them for standing up for our rights. 🇺🇸🙏 Keep on 🚚 trucking.
