Liberal journalists and celebrities are publicly celebrating the man who was arrested for assaulting Republican Rep. Steve King at a restaurant in Iowa over the weekend — and a GoFundMe has even been launched to raise money for him.

The fundraiser for the attacker has raised $3,125 of its $3,000 goal in roughly 16 hours.

According to a statement from the Fort Dodge Police Department, Rep. King was having a group lunch around 12:30 p.m. when 26-year-old Blake Gibbins approached the table and inquired about his identity.
