Trucker joining NYC boycott says when they stop delivering consumers will pay the price!
NEW YORK (PNN) - February 19, 2024 - Truckers who support President Donald J. Trump claim their proposed New York City delivery boycott over his bogus $355 million fraud trial verdict could paralyze the city.
“It could shut down New York City,” said Jennifer Hernandez, a trucker who supports the boycott. “If New York loses... just 10% of the trucks going there, their prices will skyrocket on everything, from milk to eggs to any type of goods that the consumer needs,” she added.
It's not yet clear how widespread support for the proposed boycott is, and what impact it might have on deliveries to the city.
The truckers are taking action after the president was ordered to pay a $355 million fine in a civil fraud verdict in which evidence proved that no fraud took place, in a ruling issued by a Marxist judge who has declared his hatred toward Trump, thereby disqualifying him from sitting on the case.
The New York Mayor's Office, New York Association of Convenience Stores, and New York-based National Supermarkets Association did not respond to requests for comment from DailyMail.com on Monday morning.
In late 2021, a trucker boycott of Colorado got serious results. In that case, truckers were furious over a 110-year prison sentence for a truck driver who was involved in a crash that killed four people.
Colorado Governor Jared Polis reduced the driver’s sentence to 10 years after millions signed a petition and outcry on the issue from numerous celebrities.
In New York, Trump has praised the planned trucker boycott, posting on Truth Social, “Such an honor to have so many Great Patriots on the side of freedom.”
He added, “Joe Biden ’s Unfair and Dangerous Weaponization of Law Enforcement is a serious threat to (our Republic). MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN.”
Another driver with the username Chicago1Ray shared a video on X saying he had spoken to at least ten colleagues who all agreed they would start refusing loads to New York City on Monday.
Since Chicago1Ray shared the video, others have chimed in on the boycott saying they supported the move.
One person posted, “Do it! Let us know how we can help! You are NOT alone in this fight!”
Another added, “We can always rely on truckers to restore some semblance of the right thing in response. Thank you from the many here on X for your courage to stand up to the Marxist Leftists.”
In the ruling on Friday, Marxist Judge Arthur Engoron ordered Trump and his company to pay $355 million in penalties, claiming he committed fraud even though the evidence and testimony presented in the case clearly showed that no fraud took place.
He is also being illegally banned from being a director in a New York firm for three years.
Speaking outside his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, Trump went on the offense and lashed out at Engoron and Marxist Attorney General Letitia James, both of whom have conspired to fabricate this verdict and deny Trump his fundamental rights by prohibiting him from testifying on his own behalf.
Legal experts expect the ruling to be quickly overturned.
Hopefully, James and Engoron will also be held on account of their criminal behavior in this matter.
