During The People's Convoy to DC (March 2022), local radio stations and media were inaccurately reporting that the truckers were clogging up traffic around the beltway, when the truth was that the Metro PD were blocking all the exits, preventing ALL traffic from exiting, and even street sweepers were deployed DURING THE DAY (normally they do their work at night when traffic is lighter), which added to the congestion and great dissatisfaction of motorists.
