Anderson was not the only GOP candidate attacked. First-time state representative candidate Shane Mekeland suffered a concussion after getting sucker punched while speaking with constituents at a restaurant in Benton County. Mekeland told the Free Beacon he has suffered memory loss—forgetting Rep. Anderson's name at one point in the interview—and doctors tell him he will have a four-to-six week recovery time ahead of him. He said he was cold cocked while sitting at a high top table at a local eatery and hit his head on the floor.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Libs are going crazy...

This is banana republic type crap.

You have gotta believe that the Democrats are off their rockers. Their irrational hatred of all things conservative and GOP is out-of-control, especially as to Benton County That is a very rural area which was strong for Trump in 2016. Benton County is part of East St. Cloud, an area which tilts left due to being a residential area across the Mississippi River from St. Cloud State University. So, those precincts did go for Clinton, but not by a huge margin. Going further NE from East St. Cloud, you only need to get about 1/2 mile east along MN Highway 23 to reach Trump country.

The little diner/café/saloon patrons, where the incident happened, must be hostile to such behavior against a GOP candidate.
