Lisa Hanson, a former wine and coffee bistro owner thrown into jail for violating Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz’s lockdown orders, told Fox News Digital that the now-Democratic vice presidential candidate essentially “shut down and destroyed” her small business, warning Americans, “You do not want tyranny at this level.”
A mother of eight children and soon to be 18 grandchildren, Hanson said besides a speeding ticket she received as a teenager, she had always been a law-abiding citizen and owned businesses with her husband for more than 30 years.
At the time the COVID-19 pandemic was in full swing in 2020, Hanson said, the Interchange Wine & Coffee Bistro in Albert Lea, about 90 miles south of Minneapolis, had been open for eight years.
Her wine and coffee bistro initially complied with the shutdown ordered that March.
However, Hanson said she watched for months afterward as Walz never fully reopened the state when it came to businesses deemed non-essential, such as bars, restaurants, gyms, dance studios and hair salons.
By contrast, the governor never shut down liquor stores, the “big box stores” or even strip clubs.
“He shut down a lot of the mom-and-pop shops, those folks that were just trying to make a living and provide a great product and a great service,” Hanson told Fox News Digital. “In contrast, he allowed big box stores, etc. to stay open. Really incredible, an incredible use of tyranny against the people.”
Hanson eventually decided to reopen her business and defied Walz’s renewed shutdown order for bars and restaurants six times between December 2020 and January 2021. --->READ MORE HERE
Minnesota business owner Greg Urban on Fox News Wednesday criticized Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz for his allegedly tyrannical record during the COVID-19 pandemic as governor of Minnesota.
Waltz implemented harsh lockdown measures during the COVID-19 pandemic, establishing a hotline for Minnesotans to report people who violated stay-at-home policies and pushing residents of his state not to gather for Thanksgiving. Urban, on “America Reports,” characterized Walz as an “evil” tyrant for his policies during the COVID-19 pandemic, asserting the vice presidential candidate is farther left than Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom.

“Walz was a complete dictator through that whole period. Really an evil person, more than a dictator. He actually made it illegal for families to gather for Christmas and Thanksgiving,” Urban said. “Illegal. And so people then, if they saw their neighbor carrying out a turkey leg on Thanksgiving, they could call the tip line, and Walz could dispatch his COVID police to come take them to jail.”
“I heard the comment yesterday that Walz is Gavin Newsom with less hair and wearing flannel. The reality is, Walz, I think, is more radical left than Gavin Newsom,” he added. “He just, in a state of 5 million people, I think it slides under the radar a little bit, but Tim Walz was an absolute dictator, and the idea of minding your own damn business sure did not happen with him.” --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to relevant/related stories and resources:
