Matt Strickland, an Iraq War veteran, is a business owner and candidate for state senator in Virginia.
Strickland owns Gourmeltz, a restaurant in Fredericksburg, Virginia.
On Friday Virginia state sheriff’s deputies and police entered his establishment and told him they were shutting him down.
Strickland refused to shut down during the pandemic two years ago. He had to feed his family and did not want to lose his business.
On Friday the police were sent in to shut him down.
Matt writes on Twitter, “Help me end this tyranny.”
In July TGP’s Joe Hoft interviewed Matt Strickland about the tyranny he has faced by public officials in Virginia.
