Annoyed about the Krispy Kreme deal who gives free donuts to vaccinated people Against COVID-19, a New Jersey gym owner decided to offer free memberships to people who refuse to be vaccinated.
Ian Smith, who co-owns Atilis Gym in Bellmawr with Frank Trumbetti, made the offer earlier this week:
Last summer, Smith and Trumbetti were arrested for keeping their facility open, in spite of a state order requiring indoor gyms to be closed. Although a New Jersey city council later voted to revoke the gym’s corporate license, it reopened anyway.
Last December, Smith bragged that he had been fined $ 1.2 million for ignoring COVID-19 regulations.
Earlier this year, Smith was banned from American Airlines for refusing to wear a mask on his flight home after a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Orlando.
People on Twitter had a lot to say about his offering:
