NEW: Tim Walz Threw A Grandma In Prison For Defying His COVID Lockdown

Lisa Hanson, the owner of a bistro in Albert Lea, Minnesota, found herself behind bars for defying lockdown orders issued by Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Hanson, a mother of eight, said that the Democrats’ vice presidential candidate’s mandates devastated her small business, which had been flourishing for eight years.

Before the brush with the law, her record was clean. With over three decades of experience running businesses with her husband, Hanson warned Fox News viewers, “You do not want tyranny at this level,” insisting she had always been a law-abiding citizen until the pandemic changed everything.

“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 said. “In contrast, he allowed big box stores, etc. to stay open. Really incredible, an incredible use of tyranny against the people.”

Hanson’s initial compliance with the March shutdown in 2020 quickly turned to defiance as Minnesota’s COVID-19 restrictions lingered under Walz. Hanson said that while the state remained closed to “non-essential” businesses such as bars, restaurants, and gyms, others remained open; liquor stores, big box retailers, and even strip clubs were allowed to operate. Frustrated by the inconsistent application of the rules, Hanson reopened the Bistro six times between December 2020 and January 2021.

This led to a conviction in December 2021, where she faced the full brunt of the law—receiving a 90-day maximum sentence and a $1,000 fine for misdemeanor charges. Hanson ended up serving 60 days of her sentence.

“This is the story that America needs to hear, that Tim Walz is not some cuddly, joyful coach, like all the things that the MSMs are calling him,” Hanson explained. “That is not who this man is. This man would like to take your rights away. He will take your rights away. Because what happened to me could have happened to anybody. What happened to me will happen to you.”

“My family has paid a dear price. While I was in jail, I missed out on Christmas with my family, I missed out on my wedding anniversary, and I also missed out on the birth of one of my grandchildren,” she continued. “I can never have that time back. That time was stolen from me. My business was destroyed. My business is gone. After everything that happened, Tim Walz and Keith Ellison destroyed my business. They wrecked my life.”

“I’ve heard some people say that Tim Walz is a real nice guy. Yeah, well he’s not. Take my word for it. Through this whole process, I’ve gotten to know other people. Similar things have happened to them when they were trying to run their business and survive. Mostly women, by the way. So Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison really like to go after women. They’re bullies.”

“They’re bullies. And they like to go after women and torment and destroy women’s lives. This is what they have done in the state of Minnesota. So let America know you do not want Tim Walz as vice president. You do not want tyranny at this level. I have seen firsthand. We, the people of Minnesota, have seen what Tim Walz, the type of evil he orchestrates if he is elected as vice president of this country. He, in lockstep with Harris, who is also evil, will perpetuate this same type of evil on the American people. We do not want that. So this is the truth about Tim Walz.”

“I would like to see Tim Walz impeached. I would like to see him prosecuted for the crimes he has committed against the people of Minnesota,” Hanson said.
