"Antifa extremists" were behind the sandwich scam.

Members of the failed People's Convoy, now '1776 Restoration Movement', were told that locals would donate a "100 foot long" Subway sandwich for their encampment. But, it turns out, it was all a hoax, as convoy members now claim "antifa extremists" were behind the sandwich scam.

wondering around the country? Their Washington DC roadblocking campaign failed miserably and didn't they just get ran out of the Bay Area too—the last place they should've went as it usually leans left.

They copied Canada's trucking movement which has long since dissipated yet these American magats remain out there, now rebranding themselves, but still no one knows what they're trying to accomplish. I wonder if they do? What does 1776 Restoration even mean?

Sounds nefarious, considering who’s pushing it. Probably want to reinstate slavery or some other evil institution.

They were shouting "1776" during the J6 insurrection, too.

So I expect they mean a literal war of revolution to overturn government and install their own people.

to keep traveling back and forth across the country. Certainly not those none-working truck drivers.

Should someone donate Pizza Hut pizzas, and actually deliver them, would these hypocrites eat them along with their indignation?

I mean, how would one bake a 100 foot long subway sandwich bun (I don't think I've ever seen a bakery oven anywhere nearly that big)?

And, how would you manage to deliver it (who has ever seen a delivery van with a 100 foot long cargo bed)??

put them all together. It wastes a bunch of ends, but it looks like it was one really long bun when it's done.

They drive around instead of working and then expect someone else to feed them.

I thought their party was opposed to handouts.

Following ex-People's Convoy members thinking antifa was behind a 100-foot-long Subway sandwich hoax, this morning, a member was convicted he cracked the code on antifa, due to antifa dot com redirecting to the White House's webpage. "The White House! Antifa!" he yelled.
