She opened the restaurant Saturday has served 300 to 400 people so far.
The Rifle Police Department delivered a cease and desist order on Tuesday.
“There’s no difference into going into my restaurant for 20 minutes and someone going into a salon for an hour-and-a-half,” said Boebert.
Boebert said she will do everything to keep her doors open and her staff employed.
Dear Rifle city police chief;
It is a FELONY for any LEO to attempt to enforce an UNLAWFUL ORDER.
And yes, YOU and your officers involved will probably be charged and tried in front of a JURY under the STRICT WORDS of the 6th Amendment.
Everyone should file law suits against our Governors for harm, loss and injury including businesses !
Irresponsible, Conflating the second amendment with opening a bar to have a drink, damages the cause, and plays into the hands of the opposition. Now the anti-second amendment crowd has “proof” that pro-second amendment people are irresponsible and not law abiding, and therefore can not be trusted with the lethality of a firearm. The #BikersForTrump, defying a lawful order, that may indeed be over reaching, boosted the profile of Joe Biden in the mind of every independent voter in Colorado (a blue state). I suggest that all of you slack jaw, mouth breathing, troglodytes, STOP damaging the brand. Sit down, shut-up, and leave the thinking to those of us who are better equipped to handle the task.
Hey Robert, your disinformatic leftist doublespeak is quite visible to all us troglodytes. A DemoNcrat is a DemoNcrat no matter what the mask.
WOW!!!
robert has larnt how to cut and paste talking points….
Can we get a big hand for the little tyke?
Rock on Lauren Bobert! Everyone needs to defy these ridiculous, overreaching orders!!!
