Conservative social media activist and truck driver Chicago Ray posted a video claiming that some of his colleagues are planning to stop delivering cargo to New York in protest. against the decision handed down on Friday, February 16, by the Manhattan Supreme Court.
“I've been talking on the radio to the drivers for the last hour. We managed to talk to about ten drivers. They're going to stop delivering cargo to New York starting Monday,” the Chicago Ray says in the video. “I don’t know how far this has gone across the country or how many truckers will start refusing to transport cargo to New York, but I’ll tell you what: you’ll find out for yourself.”
I'm just one of the many millions of Truckers who believe in God and love this Country ??

Manhattan Supreme Court Judge Arthur Engoron ruled that Trump must pay a $364 million fine for inflating his wealth by billions over the course of a decade to secure lucrative loans from banks.

Trump, like the Chicago Ray, called the case “election interference” by his political opponents and predicted other consequences for New York.
