Oregon small business owner accuses gov of violating constitutional rights as Costco stays open
Jen Jacobson, owner of Beloved Cheesecakes, blasts Oregon for imposing an indoor dining ban in cities for a third time while chains like Costco remain open.
An Oregon small business owner slammed Gov. Kate Brown on "Fox & Friends" Friday for her decision to shut down indoor dining in the state's major cities for a third time while chain stores like Costco remain open. Jen Jacobson, owner of Beloved Cheesecakes, said business owners feel like they have been made a "scapegoat" for the spread of the virus.
JEN JACOBSON: She doesn't have the authority. It goes against our constitutional rights. I'm essential. I'm a mom.
I'm providing for my family. I don't know why there's a target on small businesses and restaurants when I can go to Costco and get my groceries for the week for the shop and be shoulder to shoulder with people.
It's not right. I don't know, I feel like we're being a scapegoat for the COVID spread and it's not right.
