Lisa Hanson Slams Tim Walz's 'Tyranny' After Jail Sentence for Violating COVID Lockdown

Lisa Hanson, a former Minnesota business owner, warns Americans against the "tyranny" of Governor Tim Walz, a Democratic vice presidential candidate.

Lisa Hanson, a former wine and coffee bistro owner who was jailed for violating Minnesota Governor Tim Walz's lockdown orders, has condemned the governor's actions as "tyranny."

Hanson told Fox News Digital that Walz "essentially shut down and destroyed" her small business, despite her years of law-abiding citizenship.

"You do not want tyranny at this level," she warned Americans.

Hanson, a mother of eight and grandmother of 18, said she was a "model citizen" before the pandemic. However, Walz's COVID-19 shutdown orders in 2020 forced her to close her business.

Despite complying with the initial shutdown, Hanson grew frustrated with Walz's slow reopening process. She watched as businesses deemed non-essential, such as restaurants, bars, and gyms, remained closed while liquor stores, big box stores, and even strip clubs were allowed to operate.

Hanson decided to defy Walz's shutdown orders and reopened her business six times between December 2020 and January 2021. Her actions drew the ire of authorities, and she was convicted in December 2021 on misdemeanor charges.

Hanson has accused Walz of being a "tyrant" who has destroyed lives and businesses. She has also warned Americans against voting for him, saying that he would only bring more "tyranny" to the country.

Walz has defended his lockdown orders, saying that they were necessary to protect public health. However, critics have argued that the restrictions were too severe and had a devastating impact on businesses and the economy.
