Summary of the evidence so far: > **[Pastor, wife who helped organize 'Trump Train' to follow Biden bus testify:...](https://www.statesman.com/story/news/politics/state/2024/09/17/trump-train-trial-biden-bus-austin-texas-pastor-wife-testify-testimony-steve-randi-ceh/75251734007/)** > > "It was cool," Randi Ceh of New Braunfels, Texas, said on the stand. "We had a Trump Train — team against team. We used our First Amendment right." Highlights: - civil trial is in federal district court - Claim is based on the Ku Klux Klan Act, passed by Congress to prevent intimidation of the exercise of political rights - Wendy Davis, former Democratic candidate, has testified that she felt intimidated - Davis, a Biden staffer, and the bus driver testified that they feared for their lives - Made numerous 911 calls - organised by a Facebook page run by a Republican pastor and his wife - Defendants are asserting they were using their First Amendment rights - exchanged texts afterwards, celebrating that the Democrats cancelled campaign events as a result of the encounter - Pastor’s daughter and husband were originally defendants, but reached a settlement which included an apology - Other defendants were originally planning on defending themselves, until a lawyer who previously acted for Michael Flynn volunteered a couple of weeks ago to act for them. - This was not an isolated incident; the Trump Train was organised for other events in the area. ---

It is a bit weird that the best search term for Google on this is “Trump Train Texas Trial”. All that alliteration makes me feel like an Old English bard. ---

I would be surprised if a fascist attack in Texas wasn’t planned by a pastor. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/biden-campaign-bus-cars-driven-by-staffers-attacked-on-highway/924454.md?page=7)
