Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) rushed to help the truckers outside of Washington, D.C. faster than he rushed out of frozen Texas to Mexico.
As the trucker convoy made its way around the Beltway, blowing through expensive diesel, Cruz sought an audience with them. The convoy opposes vaccines for COVID. Cruz is fully vaccinated.
It caused some to question why the crew is using so much gas when they're also complaining about gas prices. A driving protest doesn't seem to follow along with what Cruz told the Fox network the previous evening.
The trucker convoy took the day off on Wednesday because it was raining.
The ride comes as the convoy has said they're running out of money. It prompted participants to ask where it has all gone.

Hey @tedcruz if you and the Republicans are so upset about high gas prices, why are you pointlessly parading around in massive emotional support vehicles to protest being asked to have empathy in a public health crisis that has killed a million Americans?— John Pavlovitz (@John Pavlovitz) 1646930840
You\u2019re such a pandering idiot, @tedcruz.https://twitter.com/ronfilipkowski/status/1501948824918499344\u00a0\u2026— Alyssa Milano (@Alyssa Milano) 1646932406
Naturally Ted Cruz would seek to ally himself with a group tying up traffic and honking horns incessantly. Being annoying is his whole brand.— Helen Kennedy \ud83c\udf3b (@Helen Kennedy \ud83c\udf3b) 1646930462

You guys are so brave, protesting mandates that were removed before the convoy even got to DC.\n\nI\u2019m hearing that the people of Ukraine would like to donate to YOU manly freedom soldiers.\n\nPlease, protest Jimmy Carter and SkyLab next!— Jay Black (@Jay Black) 1646924563
Truckers with The People's Convoy are now debating what handle Sen. Ted Cruz should be referred to over the CB radio. One trucker suggests Cruz go by "the rubber duck."— Zachary Petrizzo (@Zachary Petrizzo) 1646926959
