Owner of Seed to Table is pushing a new initiative known as “Bold Business Owners for Liberty”. He wants owners across the nation to reopen their doors on March 1st. Oakes says he’s putting together a legal team, prepared to defend anyone who faces backlash from their local governments.

You may remember Oakes for the bias media attack from NBC Nightly News after their reporter, Sam Brock, tweeted out this viral video of no one wearing masks in Oakes’ store in Naples, Florida.

As #Flordia fights community spread of COVID on a massive scale, this is a 15-second snapshot of a supermarket in Naples. Many employees and customers- even older ones- with no masks on inside. Store sign outside cites “medical exemptions,” we can’t ask questions. @NBCNews pic.twitter.com/rNUSOPLjeB
