Trump Supporters Spend Weekend Clogging America's Highways

The Daily Beast
Patricia Kelly Yeo, The Daily Beast November 1, 2020

n a show of support of questionable political value, pro-Trump demonstrators clogged freeways Sunday across the country, from New Jersey and New York to Texas, Arizona, and Washington state. "WHOOO! We shut it down baby! We shut it down!" says one pro-Trump videographer as he pans the camera nearly 360 degrees, showing viewers the group of cars that had brought traffic to a complete standstill along the northbound Garden State Parkway in New Jersey.

"You suck, you suck, everyone on the right lane sucks," nearby driver Maddy Pryor says in another video capturing the incident, which Pryor posted to Twitter. Another user named @kabryant17 claimed the stoppage caused emergency personnel to take a delayed route to the hospital, as the pro-Trump demonstration blocked an entire freeway exit.

In neighboring New York, Trump supporter Abigail Marone captured a line of cars and trucks with pro-Trump and at least one pro-law enforcement Thin Blue Line flag on the route between Seaford and Montauk in Long Island. Using the hashtag #TrumpTrain, users also captured Trump supporters driving along New York State Route 25 and claimed to see a similar lineup on Route 106 in Hicksville.
