NEW YORK (AP) — Several conservative media figures in the U.S. have lined up in support of Canadian truckers who are protesting COVID-19 restrictions and vaccine mandates in their country. Stars on Fox News Channel, the most popular cable network, are cheering on what they call “the freedom convoy.” American authorities are bracing for the possibility that something similar can happen in the U.S. Ben Shapiro of The Daily Wire said the truckers’ cause is “righteous,” while a writer on Red State on Thursday mocked a story that drew parallels to the burgeoning movement and the lead-up to the U.S. Capitol insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021.
