Why is it that conservatives complain about government handouts, accept the money and benefits from the government, and then still complain about the government, but then support conservative politicians who also complain about the government who then help themselves using the powers of government, and then complain about the government? This woman ought to be in jail for FRAUD!!!

Shelley Luther, the Texas hair salon owner who received national attention for defying orders to keep her shop temporarily closed during the coronavirus pandemic, admitted on Monday morning that she had received $18,000 in stimulus funds days before her fateful court appearance.

Luther became a conservative hero when she was briefly jailed last week following her refusal to apologize to a Texas judge after she was found guilty of civil and criminal contempt for violating a temporary restraining order by keeping her shop open despite stay-at-home orders. Sentenced to seven days in jail and a $7,000 fine, Luther was quickly freed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and her fine was paid by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick.

Appearing on the popular ABC talk show The View, Luther was confronted on her previous claims that she violated the state’s shelter-in-place orders because she and her shop’s stylists were facing financial hardships.

“You applied for small business loans and unemployment, and you did receive some aid from the government,” co-host Sunny Hostin noted. “You received $18,000 from the government.”

“So I understand why people feel so strongly about going back to work because they feel that the government isn’t doing its job and taking care of people, but in this instance, two days before you went to court, the money went into your account,” Hostin added. “So I’m troubled by that.”
Luther replied that she could understand why the View host “would be troubled” before claiming that she didn’t know what to do with the money she applied for and received through the Paycheck Protection Program.
“What happened was I already had the court date, and I already had been open the entire time,” the salon owner asserted. “There was $18,000 dropped in my bank account with no notice of what it was. So I get no instructions.”
Saying that she thinks the money is from “one of the loans,” Luther went on to claim that she doesn’t “know how I’m supposed to spend it,” adding that she is aware that there are a number of regulations and guidelines that come with the funds.
“I didn’t want to put myself in deeper debt by spending it the wrong way, you know, and also having to close the salon,” Luther said. “So until I got further instruction on that, I didn’t want to spend it.”
“And giving me $18,000 to spend when my stylists aren’t actual employees of mine, they’re actually subleasing,” she concluded. “So I wasn’t sure if I was even able to give them any of that money as employees because I don’t pay them.”
Besides the widespread adulation she received from the right over her defiance of stay-at-home orders, which included praise from President Donald Trump and Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) flying in for a haircut at her salon, Luther was also the beneficiary of a GoFundMe campaign that raised more than $500,000 on her behalf.

Texas Monthly, however, recently reported that the crowdfunding effort for Luther, which labeled her an “American hero,” was actually created back on April 23, one day before she reopened her salon. The campaign organizer wrote that they “researched her and her cause” and decided that “we would approach her and offer to support her as our first patriot cause.”

I'm in Dallas, and while it was Ms Luther's right to protest it was also the right of the Judge to jail her for not so much just defying his order to remain closed due to the coronavirus lockdown, but she tore up the judge's order on TV. Like flipping the judge the middle finger and being in contempt of court. I initially thought she should have just been fined but she and her handlers over played their hand. She frankly should give back the $18,000 in PPP funds.

BS, when she applied for that loan she knew exactly what that money was for, the application tells you this.
She lives in a 1.2 million dollar home with an upscale salon. She is not some poor thing living paycheck to paycheck. She wasn't worried about her kids knowing she would get jail time.
Not only did she have over 500k in a GOFUNDME account, Hannity opened up an account that had over 220k in that account. To date I have no idea how much more was raised. Is she going to equally share that money with the stylist that rents a chair in her salon?
I hope the state board takes her cosmetology license away. They ordered all salons closed effective March 23 at 6:00pm.

If she doesn't have employees, subcontractors are not employees, than she lied on her PPP application and that is considered fraud.
Also banks sent out notifications to all applicants the following message;
Throughout this process, we have relied on your certifications regarding eligibility. Federal agencies, legislators and media have been focused on PPP loans, including borrower eligibility. If you do not currently believe that your business is eligible for PPP funding (even if you’ve previously certified as to eligibility on your PPP loan application), you should consider taking action now. Please note that we anticipate that when applying for PPP loan forgiveness, borrowers will be required to make the same or similar certifications as to eligibility as those made during the application process.
If you have received PPP funding and now feel you may not be eligible: The Treasury and SBA have indicated that your prior certification as to eligibility will be deemed to have been made in good faith if you repay your PPP loan in full by May 7, 2020. To arrange for repayment by the May 7th deadline, please email us at.
So there is no way that she didn't know that she was commiting fraud and that she didn't know what to do with the money.

The salon owner claimed that because her 'employees' are contractors, she didn't know if she could use the money to pay them.
Then why did you apply for the loan in the first place?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't the point of the PPP for employers to KEEP employees on the payroll during the shut-down? If she didn't HAVE any employees, then she shouldn't have applied? Right? Or - isn't that something she could've asked at the time of her application?
