Prominent Democrats in North Dakota donated to the legal defense fund of a man accused of attacking a Republican senator’s office with an axe.
North Dakota Democratic-Nonpartisan League Party chairwoman Kylie Oversen, party official Ellie Shockley and former lieutenant gubernatorial contender Ellen Chaffee gave money to support 30-year-old Thomas “Tas” Alexander Starks. Starks, of Lisbon, N.D., is a far-left activist who was arrested and charged over a Dec. 21 axe attack on Sen. John Hoeven’s office in downtown Fargo. The shocking incident was caught on video.
Laura Starks, the suspect’s wife, started a GoFundMe account to support his legal defense fees. Over 60 donors have contributed more than $8,000 out of the campaign's $15,000 goal.
“Tas makes his political statements openly and non-violently,” reads the campaign.
Police identified Starks after authorities received several tips from his coworkers at Bobcat in Gwinner, N.D. Stark’s colleague told police he was "very active in protests.
"Kylie Oversen, the North Dakota Democratic-Nonpartisan League Party chairwoman, donated $100 to Stark’s fund, although her name has since been removed. She told KFYR-TV that her donation does not reflect her views and that it was made “without considering innocence or guilt."
“Compassion isn’t something I’m ashamed of,” she tweeted.

Funny how GoFundMe didn’t take down the fund for someone who tried to kill another person with an axe.
So it is okay to likewise attack a Dem office in NorDak?
SPJNK.
I did not think Go Fund me allowed raising money for criminal defense? Does that just apply to Conseratives?
None of them used axes.
Actually, he deserves a medal for trying to kill people without resorting to pulling his AR 15 from his jacket. Kudos to this upstanding role model.
The Democrat Party is the feminist criminal party.
Impeach them all! <==== sour grapes? You betcha!
I was unaware there are any Prominent Democrats in North Dakota.
