Trucker Protest Planned To Shut Down D.C. Beltway: Is 'Truckers Ride For The Constitution' #T2SDA Real Or Just A Hoax?
About 3,000 truck drivers are organizing to rally their big rigs along the Capital Beltway (Interstate 495) in Washington, D.C., this weekend in a protest called the "Ride for the Constitution" in response to the government shutdown and their disapproval of political leaders. However, the trucker protest which has been using the hashtag #T2SDA, an acronym for "Truckers to Shut Down America," may actually be a hoax.
News of the trucker protest spread on Monday after U.S. News & World Report spoke with Earl Conlon, a Georgia trucker "handling logistics" for the three-day protest, slated to begin on the morning of Oct. 11. According to Conlon and others participating, truckers will clog the inner loop of the Beltway and circle I-495 at the 55mph speed limit "to seek the arrest of congressmen for allegedly disregarding the Constitution."
