      XPost: rec.arts.tv, misc.transport.road, alt.politics.trump       XPost: sac.politics       From: invalid@dont-email.me              Washington (CNN)The FBI is investigating the alleged harassment       of a Joe Biden campaign bus last week by motorists displaying       Trump 2020 flags, an FBI spokesperson confirmed Sunday.              "FBI San Antonio is aware of the incident and investigating,"       FBI spokesperson Michelle Lee told CNN.              The incident took place in Texas on Friday as the campaign bus       was traveling from San Antonio to Austin as part of a push to       urge Biden supporters to cast their ballots on the state's last       day of early voting. A Biden campaign official described the       motorists' actions as an attempt to slow down the bus and run it       off the road.              People in vehicles that were part of a "Trump Train" began       yelling profanities and obscenities and then blockaded the       entire Biden entourage, according to a source familiar with the       incident.              At one point they slowed the tour bus to roughly 20 mph on       Interstate 35, the campaign official said. The vehicles slowed       down to try to stop the bus in the middle of the highway. The       source said there were nearly 100 vehicles around the campaign       bus. Biden staffers were rattled by the event, the source said,       though no one was hurt.              Neither Biden nor his running mate, California Sen. Kamala       Harris, were on the bus. Multiple sources told CNN that Wendy       Davis, a former state senator who is challenging Republican Rep.       Chip Roy for Texas' 21st Congressional District, was on the bus.       Davis' campaign declined to comment to CNN on Saturday.              Staffers on the bus called 911, which eventually led to local       law enforcement assisting the bus to its destination.              President Donald Trump tweeted a video of the bus incident with       the words "I LOVE TEXAS!" on Saturday, and claimed at a campaign       rally on Sunday that his supporters were "protecting" the bus.              "But it is something, did you see the way our people they ...       you know they were protecting his bus yesterday, because they're       nice," the President said.              Biden told reporters in Texas Sunday evening, "We've never had       anything like this."              "At least we've never had a president who thinks it's a good       thing," he said.              This story has been updated with FBI confirmation of the       investigation and comments from Joe Biden.              https://www.cnn.com/2020/11/01/politics/fbi-investigating-biden-       bus-trump/index.html              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
