Trump fans reportedly tried to pull a Democratic campaign bus off the road. According to the president, they did nothing wrong.
A dangerous incident occurred over the weekend around a column of campaign vehicles belonging to Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden on a highway in the US state of Texas. Biden’s campaign team said that several vehicles of supporters of US President Donald Trump tried to slow down a Democratic campaign bus and pull it off the road.
It is now decided: “The San Antonio FBI knows about the incident and is investigating it,” an FBI spokesman told CNN. In response to the investigation announced by the FBI, Donald Trump said: “In my opinion, these patriots did nothing wrong.”
Incident videos are inconclusive
The footage shows a white SUV and a black van directly behind the bus on Interstate 35 in Texas touching and trying to push each other at high speed. It cannot be clearly seen in the videos from which car the contact originated.
Neither Biden nor his runner-up Kamala Harris were in the vehicle. According to a report in the Texas Tribune newspaper, US House candidate and former Texas Senator Wendy Davis was in the car. All inmates were unharmed.
Another video of the incident was shared by Trump on Saturday with the comment “I LOVE TEXAS!” On twitter. As a result, the Biden campaign canceled at least two of its events in Texas. Democrats accuse the president of encouraging his followers to try to intimidate.
Speaking of Sunday’s incident at a campaign rally in Philadelphia, Biden described Trump’s approval of such actions as abnormal and divisive: “This has never happened before. At least we’ve never had a president who believes this is a good thing.”
According to polls, Biden and Trump are in an unexpected head-to-head race in Texas. Texas used to be a Republican stronghold.
