A Michigan restaurant owner named Marlena Hackney has been jailed for the crime of defying the government and opening her business.
This is tyranny, plain and simple. Hackney appeared on the Tucker Carlson show this week and urged all Americans to stand up for their rights. As an immigrant from Poland, she knows what real Communism looks like.
This weekend, hundreds turned out to rally for her.

Watch: Hundreds Rally for Michigan Restaurateur Jailed over Gretchen Whitmer Coronavirus Orders
Hundreds of supporters rallied for Marlena Hackney Saturday, the Michigan restaurateur jailed after refusing to comply with coronavirus orders.
Hackney, an immigrant who fled communist Poland as a teenager, was arrested Friday on a misdemeanor contempt of court charge. She was denied bond and remains in an Ingham County jail.
Her restaurant, Marlena’s Bistro and Pizzeria in Holland, was told to close by governor’s order, like many did at the height of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s (D) executive order spree. But Hackney reopened last summer and faced orders to close by state agents.
She repeatedly refused and was ordered to turn herself in Thursday. When she ignored that demand, Hackney was arrested early Friday and taken to a Lansing jail, some 100 miles away from Holland.

Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer is a tyrant.
This is an outrage.
