Recently, it was reported that Minnesota Governor Tim Walz was asked for an in-depth interview with the New York Times.

Walz responded by declining  their requests and refusing to participate in the piece.

Believe it or not, the New York Times has been hard on Walz.

Several of Walz’s policies during that period of time are being scrutinized, particularly what he did to Lisa Hanson.

After Hanson violated the lockdown order imposed by Walz, she spent 60 of the 90 days she was sentenced to in prison. This was a significant period during which she missed her wedding anniversary, Christmas, and the birth of a grandchild. Hanson views this as a loss orchestrated by the governor. She insists that the governor is not just infringing on her time but also destroying her family business.

Hanson argues that Walz’s order to close numerous small businesses like hers while allowing larger corporations to continue operating is an unfair exercise of power. She sees this as a measure that has unfavorably affected ordinary people trying to earn a living.

Her frustration led Hanson to defy the lockdown rules and try to reopen her business six times. This defiance resulted in a misdemeanor conviction, a $1,000 fine, and a 90-day prison sentence, which was eventually reduced to 60 days.

After accruing substantial legal fees and fines, Hanson was forced to close down her business due to government pressure. Now, she warns others about the potential consequences of similar leadership.

“Tim Walz is not some cuddly, joyful coach… he will take your rights away. What happened to me will happen to you,” she warns. It’s clear that she feels passionately about this issue and hopes others can learn from her experience.

Moreover, Hanson criticizes Walz’s perceived demeanor and actions. She describes them as bullying tactics, claiming, “They like to go after women and destroy women’s lives.” She wants the public to be aware of the extent of authority she believes Walz could wield, especially if he were to become vice president.
