Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick said that he would pay the $7,000 fine for a salon owner arrested for defying social distancing orders, and offered to be placed under house arrest to take her place in jail.

Shelley Luthor became the masked face of the anti-lockdown movement when she gave a passionate response to a judge demanding her to apologize and admit she was wrong to re-open her salon amidst the coronavirus pandemic.

The fine must be dismissed and the judge must be removed.

They just re-opened salons so she could go back to work now IF she wasn’t in jail.
