A GOP gubernatorial candidate was reportedly "assaulted" in part due to his support of deceased conservative commentator Charlie Kirk.
Political consultant Matt Hurley first made the claim on social media, writing, "Earlier this evening, while attending the Northern State University football game, South Dakota Republican gubernatorial candidate Toby Doeden was approached by an agitated individual."
"The individual proceeded to physically assault Mr. Doeden while making multiple threats on his life and repeatedly referencing his support for the late Charlie Kirk," Hurley wrote. "The individual was immediately detained and subsequently arrested. We are grateful for the swift response of both the Northern State University Campus Police and the Aberdeen Police Department."
A secondary report came from controversial Trump ally Laura Loomer, who wrote, "BREAKING: South Dakota GOP Gubernatorial candidate @TobyForSD Toby Doeden was accosted and assaulted tonight at a football game by a man who attacked him over Doeden’s support for Charlie Kirk!"
"The aggressor was arrested. Political violence is out of control in the US," Loomer then added.
