HuffPo: “Members of a “Trump train” of drivers who chased down a Joe Biden-Kamala Harris campaign caravan on a Texas highway last year are being sued in federal court by the campaign workers they terrorized.
One complaint accuses the Trump supporters of violating the anti-Ku Klux Klan Act protecting voters from intimidation. A second complaint accuses the San Marcos Police Department of failing to protect the campaign bus and the cars accompanying it to campaign events in Texas, “despite repeated calls for help,” the suit notes.
Both complaints were filed Thursday in the Western District of Texas.
“We filed this lawsuit because everyone should be able to engage in peaceful political activity free from fear, intimidation, or threats of violence,” former Texas Democratic state Sen. Wendy Davis — who was on the campaign bus when it was swarmed — said in a statement of the lawsuit against members of the Trump train. (Check out the video above.)
The plaintiffs — Davis, plus Harris’ White House director of operations, David Gins, former Biden campaign volunteer Eric Cervini and Biden campaign bus driver Timothy Holloway — are being represented by the nonprofit advocacy organization Protect Democracy, the Texas Civil Rights Project and the law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher.”
