Henry Kriegel

As co-founder of the Bozeman Tea Party, Henry Kriegel is no stranger to political activism or the controversy that can surround it. Born of eastern European Jewish emigrant parents who fled post-WWII Germany with their lives and little else, Kriegel is a first-generation American and a firm believer in the freedoms this country promises, providing some critiques of the governmental bodies sworn to protect them.

This interview was conducted in October 2020, over a year ago. While circumstances and conditions changed significantly since then, the issues and point-of-view shared are still relevant.  Additionally, the views expressed by Mr. Kriegel are his own and not necessarily reflective of any organization with which he has an affiliation.
