I will let CNN talking head and former DHS Undersecretary Juliette Kayyem use her own words on how to deal with the Freedom Convoy and the border blockades.

The convoy protest, applauded by right wing media as a "freedom protest," is an economic and security issue now. The Ambassador Bridge link constitutes 28% of annual trade movement between US and Canada. Slash the tires, empty gas tanks, arrest the drivers, and move the trucks ✔️

Footage shows trucks in gridlock on the Ambassador Bridge, a key trading link between the U.S. and Canada. It was temporarily closed early Tuesday amid growing protests against Canada’s Covid-19 vaccine mandates. #WSJWhatsNow https://t.co/1ia6TY4KIa

Earlier today, I tweeted something that has been used by others to suggest I was promoting vigilantism. I was not. People have the freedom to protest. Governments have the responsibility to protect public safety. That was what I intended to say.

In other words, she advocates the government respond to protests by destroying private property. In the name of “national security”.

That's how the media views the “fringe minority”. You will bend the knee…or else.
