Small businesses took a pounding when blue states nationwide imposed draconian Wuhan virus lockdown measures.

As result, there is a budding revolt being spearheaded by disgruntled small business owners. Ian Smith, the co-owner of Atilis Gym, is one of those individuals leading the charge against America’s growing medical tyranny.

Atilis Gym garnered national attention when it refused to comply with New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy’s lockdown orders and is now facing one year probation.

According to a report by Hannah Bleau of Breitbart News, Smith is now running for Congress. The co-owner of Atilis Gym made his announcement on January 31, 2022.

Smith and his business partner Frank Trumbetti made it a point to resist Murphy’s draconian lockdown restrictions by keeping their gym open despite the governor’s decision to classify said business as “non-essential.”

The state health department responded by shutting the gym down after the owners opened their facility in protest of the arbitrary closure order.

Due to their defiance of the state’s shut down order, Trumbetti and Smith have been sentenced to one year probation after pleading guilty to fourth-degree criminal contempt of court.
