https://www.rawstory.com/freedom-convoy-2656779813/Daily Beast reporter Zachary Petrizzo, who has been following the so-called "Freedom Convoy" that drove from Pennsylvania down to Washington D.C. on Wednesday, has issued a new dispatch about the convoy's apparent failure.
Writing on Twitter, Petrizzo reports that convoy leader Bob Bolus and his "sidekick" named Betsy are now going back to Pennsylvania after earlier getting lost on I-495 around Washington D.C.
However, a defiant Betsy told Petrizzo that "this is just one battle in the war," and Bolus speculated that "he may consider coming back to DC when more truckers are around."
Last night he was on teevee bragging about shutting down the Beltway "like a boa constrictor." Today apparently it was just him and "Betsy" and maybe a handful of pickup trucks and no one seemed to have any idea about how to navigate on the Capitol Beltway. Har de har har. Don't let the door hit your sorry ass, Bobby.

The Capitol Beltway is not for dipshits who cannot use a smart phone to navigate.

Mid week there were plenty of real truckers on the Beltway. Just not many of the fake "Convoy"

Of course if you don't know where you are going, I guess even a smart phone won't help you.

It's no war and you aren't Lee, Betts.

(990 posts)9. Doesn't then beltway just make a big circle around DC?
I know it is multiple lanes going both directions
in a circle.
Im being a little sarcastic here. Ive driven the beltway many times - you just have to know where to exit. After that all bets are off. Getting lost in traffic driving a big rig must be a special kind of headache.
Petrizzo is a dufus.

back in the day. When she first moved out there, her first experience on that beltway was driving multiple circles. So the story goes...
