Greg Gianforte, the Republican candidate in Montana's special election charged with body slamming a reporter hours before the polls opened on Thursday, also has troubling ties to alleged white supremacists. 

Gianforte donated to the campaigns of both Taylor Rose, whom the Southern Poverty Law Center has described as a white nationalist, and Robert Saunders, who allegedly has a history of espousing anti-black racist views. 

Gianforte is also linked to Idaho preacher Douglas Wilson, who has suggested in his writings that the "black family has never been stronger than it was under slavery" and that women are "created to be dependent and responsive to a man." Gianforte received a $2,700 campaign donation from Saunders.

Snapchat told a gun safety charity it might run NRA ads on the charity's anti-gun violence awareness campaign — which would have featured videos starring families who lost their loved ones to firearms — if the charity didn't pay Snapchat for advertising, emails provided to Mic by a source close to the exchange show.  

One day after the deadline to evacuate the Dakota Access Pipeline opposition camps set up near Cannon Ball, North Dakota, police arrested at least 40 protesters, CNN correspondent Sara Sidner reported, citing the local sheriff's department.

In a series of tweets, Sidner said the roads surrounding the Oceti Sakowin camp had been blocked off by police vehicles.

An emergency evacuation order signed by Gov. Doug Burgum set the deadline to leave the camp at 2 p.m. on Wednesday. But on Thursday, nearly 24 hours later, dozens of protesters remained.

Although CNN reported around 100 protesters left voluntarily on Wednesday evening, 10 arrests were reportedly made that night as well.
