Trump Condemns The Attitude Of The FBI For Investigating The Joe Biden Campaign Bus Interception Incident

JAKARTA - President of the United States (US) Donald Trump has criticized the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) for investigating the incident involving the bus belonging to the Joe Biden campaign team. Trump said it was not a mistake.

"In my opinion, these patriots (Trump supporters) have done nothing wrong," Trump said on Twitter. "Instead, the FBI is supposed to investigate the terrorists, anarchists and ANTIFA agitators, who roam burning Democratic-run cities and injuring our people!"

The incident that Trump meant, as explained by NBC News, refers to the incident on Sunday November 1. The incident was captured in a video showing Trump supporters circling the Biden campaign bus in their respective vehicles. They tried to prevent the Biden bus that was traveling from San Antonio to Austin.

"Do you see the way our people ... They protected the bus yesterday, because they were good," Trump said.

Biden responded to the incident while at an event in Pennsylvania. He said Trump had given praise to supporters involved in the incident. "Guys, that's not our (way). We are much better than this," said Biden.

Currently the FBI reportedly is investigating the incident. This was conveyed directly by the FBI spokesman. "The San Antonio FBI is aware of the incident and is investigating," said FBI spokeswoman Michelle Lee.

Obstruction

Initially Biden's campaign bus driving from San Antonio to Austin aimed to encourage his supporters to vote on the final day of voting. However, in the middle of the road there were a group of drivers who hampered the bus. One of Biden's campaign teams described the move as an attempt to slow down buses.

The people in the vehicle started shouting profanities. They then blocked Biden's entire entourage, according to a source with knowledge of the incident.

In addition, the cars are trying to stop the bus in the middle of the highway. The source said there were nearly 100 vehicles in the vicinity of the campaign bus. Biden's staff were confused by what happened, luckily no one was hurt.

Neither Biden nor his deputy, California Senator Kamala Harris, were not on the bus. But on the bus, according to various sources, was Wendy Davis, a former state senator who had challenged Biden's support.

Car parades were popular during the COVID-19 pandemic. This replaces direct campaigns so that people continue to maintain social distancing. The car parade campaign was rife mainly by Trump supporters.
