GOP Reveals Its Latest Conspiracy: The ‘Ghost Bus’

Congressman Clay Higgins gestures at some buses that he believes are full of FBI operati

The image of a spectral public transportation system emerged like a phantom during a bizarre moment in the Congressional testimony of FBI Director Christopher Wray before the Homeland Security Committee. Republican Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana peppered Wray with questions about whether secretive buses arrived near the Capitol building on the morning of the riot in January 2021. 

Higgins berated Wray for not knowing what a “ghost bus” is, and claimed the term is common parlance among people who know about cop stuff. 

“Do you know what a ghost vehicle is?” Higgins asked. “Director of the FBI certainly should. You know what a ghost bus is?”

Wray seemed nonplussed. 

“I’m not sure I’ve used that term before,” he said.

“Okay,” said Higgins, skeptically. “Pretty common in law enforcement. It’s a vehicle that’s used for secret purposes. It’s painted over.”
