New Hampshire Libertarian Party shares and deletes post that suggests assassinating Harris would be heroic

Source: The Independent

1 hour ago


The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire faced immediate backlash after writing in a social media post that anyone who assassinates Vice President Kamala Harris would be an “American hero.”

The party made the post on Sunday before deleting it the same day, according to a screenshot shared by New Hampshire political journalist Colin Booth. “Anyone who murders Kamala Harris would be an American hero,” the post read. The party then deleted the post and issued a statement.

“We deleted a tweet because we don’t want to break the terms of this website we agreed to,” the party wrote. “It’s a shame that even on a ‘free speech’ website that libertarians cannot speak freely. Libertarians are truly the most oppressed minority.”

Chase Oliver, the Libertarian Party’s presidential nominee, condemned the since-deleted post. “I 100% condemn the statement from LPNH regarding Kamala Harris,” Oliver wrote. “It is abhorrent and should never have been posted.”

We deleted a tweet because we don't want to break the terms of this website we agreed to.

It's a shame that even on a "free speech" website that libertarians cannot speak freely.

Libertarians are truly the most oppressed minority.

is free speech. It's outright incitement to violence.


Good way to frame it, is if someone called for the assassination of all the members of the Libertarian Party NH, how would they feel about that kind of crap directed at them.... I bet they would whine and cry about those dangers people, someone save them!!!!!one!!1!11!@!!!


P.S. They are faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar from the most oppressed group. I think they should just go ahead and admit they are massive snowflakes....
