Once again, the Blaze Originals series blaze media The documentary delves into the stories that shape the country. In this episode of Texas vs. the Federal Investigation, researcher Jason Butrill joins a convoy of truckers, driven by love for God and country, to protest the intrusion of illegal immigrants at the southern border.
The Americans who joined the trucker’s convoy last month came from all parts of the country and from all walks of life, but all seemed united by their Christian faith, the episode revealed. The group, which was still on its way to the border, met for prayer before setting off on a day’s driving, and then ended the day’s journey with a similar group prayer. The bus Buttrill rode for a while was decorated with Bible verses.
“We hold the word of God firmly in our hands,” Joshua Machias, co-founder of the Trump Veterans Association, told Butrill. ”
Robert Agee, one of the organizers of the trucker convoy, added that the focus on God is what made the truckers and their message so “powerful.” ”[The mainstream media] “They’re afraid of this, because there’s nothing more powerful than a group of people coming together to pray,” Agee said.
“They are calling on the name of the Lord to fight the battle for us,” he continued. “And I think that’s what scares them.”
Truckers found their fair share of angry protesters. Across the street from a planned motorcade rally at a ranch in Quemado, Texas, agitators blew whistles and shouted messages of hate into loudspeakers. Some people supported BLM, at least one holding a placard that read “”.Gah aID YSo? ”
The media similarly sought to smear the convoys as right-wing fanatics, derisively labeling them the Army of God. But most truck drivers accepted the title. “Anyone who has ever been to Sunday school knows this. [Army of God] That’s it,” leader Lt. Col. Pete Chambers told the group of truckers, who cheered in response. “It’s not a club or an organization on earth. It’s a statement from above and I’m proud of it and I’m never going to back down.”
Many of the convoy participants wore gear and waved flags to show support for former President Donald Trump, but they also looked to God as a source of blessing as Americans. “I have something to say. [for] Why am I here?” One truck driver told Buttrill, “That’s Jesus.”
“That’s all there is to it, folks,” said a woman holding a copy of the U.S. Constitution. “Our God-given rights are written on paper.”
