No charges had been filed against Stein as of Wednesday afternoon, and she was not arrested at the site of the protest.
“I looked at all these handsome writing around me and said what would a presidential candidate say?”.
On Tuesday, the Bismarck Tribune posted video to Twitter of Stein spray painting the words “I approve this message” on a bulldozer.
She and her running mate are charged with criminal trespass and mischief.
The Standing Rock Sioux tribe has been protesting the $3.8 billion Dakota Access pipeline, which would carry crude oil from North Dakota to IL.
The Associated Press reported that four private security guards and two dogs were injured in the incident as a result, according to the Morton County Sherriff’s Office.
The 1,100-mile Dakota Access Pipeline is being constructed by a company called Dakota Access. Her party’s nominee for president, Stein will discuss her progressive campaign platform, including a proposal for a Green New Deal, an initiative created to revitalize the nation’s economy by transitioning the United States to 100 percent renewable energy by 2030. One activist said that security guards flanked the bulldozers and their guard dogs bit tribal elders and children. He said that around 25 law enforcement officials arrived to the protest site and found people on horses, wearing masks and goggles and carrying hatchets. The DAPL is a $3.8 billion project, meant to transport crude oil from Montana and North Dakota’s Bakken Formation to oil refineries in the Gulf Coast.
