The 'God's army' convoy traveling to Texas to stop migrants has seen a vehicle get lost, tires slashed, and someone stranded on the highway: report
A convoy of vehicles headed to Texas, organized by a group called "Take Our Border Back," has had a chaotic start, including slashed tires and a stranded participant, according to WIRED.
Organizers of the convoy, one of whom described it as "God's army," per Vice, had aspirations of mobilizing tens of thousands of trucks to stop migrants from crossing the Texas-Mexico border into the US.
But despite an influx of donations, plenty of media attention, and a growing social media following, things haven't gone exactly to plan.
According to WIRED, it all started to go wrong even before the convoy had set off.
Some attendees woke up to find the tires of their cars slashed outside a hotel they'd been staying at, one of the convoy's live-streamers said, per WIRED.
This headline is the opposite of clickbait. The details are amazing!
"WIRED reported that, at one point, the convoy's main bus pulled over onto a highway shoulder and kicked out one of the passengers.
It was unclear why the man was ejected, but he was left stranded in Florence, South Carolina, without his wallet, according to details from a livestream of someone in contact with the man."
Imagine the sort of piece of shit you'd have to be to first want to join in on this (and not in an undercover journalist sort of way) and then get rejected by them.
My guess is that he wasn't a big enough piece of shit, probably objected to pulling a full Greg Abbot at the border.
Never go full Abbott.
Seems like God doesn't want "his" army getting anywhere.
He tends to do that. See the history of his "chosen people," the Jews.
