An arrest warrant was issued for Green Party presidential candidate Jill Stein in North Dakota on Wednesday after she was captured on video spray painting a bulldozer during a protest against an oil pipeline.
The warrant, as well as misdemeanor charges for criminal trespass and criminal mischief, were filed Wednesday in Morton County. At a news conference Tuesday, Sheriff Kyle Kirchmeier said Stein was “seen at the construction site actually vandalizing, spray painting, a blade on the equipment.”
“This is not the way to protest,” Kirchmeier added.
On Tuesday, the Bismarck Tribune posted video to Twitter of Stein spray painting the words “I approve this message” on a bulldozer.
