WASHINGTON—Sens. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas) on March 8 praised The People’s Convoy for “fighting for freedom” and “awakening Americans” during their meeting with leaders of the group, which traveled across the country from California.

Johnson said the truckers are taking “extraordinary measures” to “get the unbiased news out.” To him, what the convoy is trying to convey is to “lay out the damage being done by these emergency orders [and] all these mandates,” he told The Epoch Times.
