Join Steve as he interviews John Strand who Amid COVID lockdowns and BLM violence, organized and led a freedom rally, which President Trump tweeted to support, and then became the Creative Director and national spokesperson for America’s Frontline Doctors during one of the most polarized periods in modern American history. That courage came at a steep personal cost.
During a hostile administration, John Strand experienced firsthand what happens when government power goes unrestrained. He was assaulted by an FBI SWAT team, held in jail for four days without a phone call, and charged with a 20-year felony — without any actual evidence of wrongdoing. Prosecutors offered him an easy exit: plead guilty to a single misdemeanor, sign a false confession, and go home. He refused. Rather than bear false witness and betray his fellow Americans, he chose to face the full weight of a weaponized government. John was sentenced to nearly three years and spent 366 days in a higher-security federal prison.
But the story did not end there. John was vindicated by the Supreme Court and released. John continued his appeal and ultimately achieved total exoneration of all charges. Rather than breaking him, the experience strengthened his resolve. That is why John Strand is running for Congress. For more about John visit www.johnstrand.com
