Minnesota Trump supporter pleads guilty in attack over sign

<p>MINNEAPOLIS &mdash; A suburban Minneapolis man accused of attacking an elderly couple after spotting them holding an anti-Donald Trump sign after the election has pleaded guilty.</p>
<p>Mark Anthony Ulsaker, 50, of Lino Lakes, pleaded guilty in Ramsey County District Court Tuesday to two counts of threats of violence. Authorities say Ulsaker swung a golf club at them and punched the man in the head.</p>
<p>In exchange for the plea, prosecutors agreed to drop two felony assault charges, the <a href="https://www.startribune.com/man-pleads-guilty-to-swinging-golf-club-at-white-bear-lake-couple-with-anti-trump-sign/600061585/?refresh=true">Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.</a> The two sides have not agreed on a sentencing recommendation.</p>
<p>The husband and wife, ages 80 and 78, were among a group standing on a street corner in White Bear Lake five days after voters chose Democrat Joe Biden over Trump. Someone in the neighborhood described the sign as a large piece of plywood with the hand-painted message: “Trumpers — thank God in greyhound he is gone.”</p>
<p>According to the original complaint, multiple people called 911 after seeing a man attack the couple before he drove away. Police went to Ulsaker’s home after witnesses provided them with his license plate number.</p>
<p>Court documents do not list an attorney for Ulsaker.</p>
