Minnesota Grandma Jailed for Standing Up to Tim Walz’s COVID Tyranny: He “Will Perpetuate This Same Type of Evil on the American People”
Meet Lisa Hanson, a Minnesota grandma and former small business owner who bravely stood up against the tyrannical lockdown orders of Democrat Governor Tim Walz—now a candidate for Vice President alongside Kamala Harris. Hanson’s story isn’t just about losing a business; it’s about the crushing weight of government overreach and the threat it poses to every American’s freedom.
A Government Gone Rogue
Hanson’s wine and coffee bistro in Albert Lea, Minnesota, was a thriving local spot before the COVID-19 lockdowns. When Walz’s draconian measures were put in place, small businesses like hers were forced to close, while big-box stores and liquor shops remained open. “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.”
This isn’t just unfair—it’s a clear example of tyranny. Walz targeted the heart of American entrepreneurship while protecting corporate giants. Hanson refused to be a victim and took a stand by reopening her business, defying Walz’s arbitrary orders. “We had God-given, constitutionally protected rights to be open. There was no statute. There was no law that allowed Gov. Walz to do what he did,” she stated.
The Cost of Standing Up
For her courage, Lisa Hanson was thrown in jail for 60 days, missing Christmas, her wedding anniversary, and the birth of a grandchild. “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 shared. “I can never have that time back. That time was stolen from me. My business was destroyed. My business is gone.”
This wasn’t about public health—this was about power. Walz and his ally, Attorney General Keith Ellison, wanted to make an example out of Hanson, crushing her business and livelihood. “They’re bullies,” Hanson said, highlighting how they targeted women business owners, displaying a disturbing pattern of abuse. “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.”
America, Wake Up!
Hanson’s message to America is clear: Tim Walz is a danger to your rights. If he and Kamala Harris get into the White House, this level of tyranny will become the norm. “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,” Hanson warned.
Remember, this is the same Walz who allowed Minneapolis to burn during the riots after George Floyd’s death. While businesses were looted and destroyed, where was Walz? Nowhere to be found. “Where was our governor? Where was our governor when there was the looting and the burning down? A fellow business owner—their businesses being burned down—where was our governor?” Hanson asked. His failed leadership during one of Minnesota’s darkest times speaks volumes about what he would bring to the national stage. “That man is a wrecking machine. He needs to be stopped.”
A Call to Action
Lisa Hanson’s fight is a warning to us all—freedom is fragile, and it’s under attack from the very people who should be protecting it. Walz and Harris are not the leaders America needs. Hanson may have lost her business, but her spirit remains unbroken, and her story is a powerful reminder of what’s at stake in the upcoming election. “Tim Walz has accomplished a lot of horrific things in the state of Minnesota in a very short amount of time,” she said. “Donald Trump is not going to save America. We certainly know Biden’s not going to save America, and Harris is not going to save America. The people need to get involved.”
America, we need to stand with patriots like Lisa Hanson. The Harris-Walz ticket is a ticket to tyranny. Let’s ensure they never get the chance to bring their destructive policies to the entire nation. Share Lisa’s story, spread the truth, and remember what’s at stake in 2024.
