A Dallas salon owner – who was jailed for opening her shop during the coronavirus outbreak – called Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer a “tyrant” after traveling to the state in support of a barber who had his license suspended for defying “stay-at-home” orders.
Shelley Luther arrived in Owosso, Mich., on Monday to back 77-year-old Karl Manke, who has attracted national attention as a symbol of resistance after reopening his barbershop despite Whitmer’s shutdown to curb the spread of COVID-19.
Manke and Luther struck back at Whitmer during a press conference, calling on small business owners across the state to reopen.
"Michigan — all of you business owners, you beauticians, you barbers, you massage therapists, all of you — open up your shops, stand up and show up," the 77-year-old barber said, according to the Flint Journal.
Manke opened his doors May 4 because money got tight. He refused to close, pledging to keep working until police arrest him or “Jesus walks in.” He was issued a cease-and-desist order and two misdemeanor citations that could result in fines totaling over $1,000, but he still refused to close.

Nice to have a new ‘Joe the plumber’ to help rally the troops!
Sadly, the collectivist takes the tyrant charge as a compliment.
He sounded like Thomas Paine or Samuel Adams to me. God bless him.
Half-whitmer is a tyrant as are all democrats, both the politician kind of democrat and the voter kind of democrat.

Tyrant is inappropriate.
Ignorant slut is soooo much closer.
Yesterday said she will most likely extend stay at home order for 2 weeks and will be announcing it in a few days. Right on time Judge deciding Republicans lawsuit decided in her favor.
So she opens up two regions up north few days ago and then she will extend stay at home order for 14 days because of the people who rushed up there. 14 days = incubation period.
Now has green-light to extend however long she wants until Michigan SC decides the case.
