Alaska Lawmaker Testifies Over Oath Keepers Ties

Alaska state Rep. David Eastman (R) “took the stand Wednesday in a case alleging his ties to the far-right group Oath Keepers disqualify him from holding office in Alaska,” the Anchorage Daily News reports.

The lawsuit points to a provision of the constitution that states that no one who “advocates, or who aids or belongs to any party or organization or association which advocates, the overthrow by force or violence of the government of the United States or of the State shall be qualified to hold” public office.
