NH Libertarians appear to encourage the assassination of Kamala Harris

Multiple users posted screenshots of the deleted post that said: “Anyone who murders Kamala Harris would be an American hero.”

The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire is under fire after allegedly writing on social media that assassinating Vice President Kamala Harris would be heroic.

Multiple users, including reporters, posted screenshots of a deleted post shared to X early Sunday morning that read: “Anyone who murders Kamala Harris would be an American hero.”

The Libertarian Party addressed the post Sunday morning, writing that “Libertarians are truly the most oppressed minority.”

“We deleted a tweet because we don’t want to break the terms of this website we agreed to,” the post said. “It’s a shame that even on a ‘free speech’ website that libertarians cannot speak freely.”

Free speech?! WTF!

New Hampshire Democrats, Republicans react

Raymond Buckley, the chair of the state’s Democratic Party, called the post “disgusting, dangerous, and wrong."

The Libertarian Party of NH encouraging the assasination of Vice President Harris must be condemned in the strongest possible terms. Political violence is never acceptable, and their statement was disgusting, dangerous and wrong.

They are on the ballot...let's not blame twitter for them.

THEY ARE THE THIRD LARGEST PARTY IN THE UNITED STATES!

Third!


The Libertarian Party is the third-largest political party in the United States after the Democratic and Republican parties. According to the Libertarian Party's website, "Libertarians strongly oppose any government interference into their personal, family, and business decisions."

The initial post shared Sunday by the New Hampshire Libertarian Party on X read, "Anyone who murders Kamala Harris would be an American hero."

Later, the party explained on X why the post was deleted:

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.

So, incitement to murder is just "free speech." To treat it as a crime is "oppression."

For a long time now, some Republicans pose as Libertarians and then spew their vile ideology. So when confronted on any of their sick comments made or disgusting ideas proposed, they pathetically try and hide behind being a false Libertarian. All points made, they threatened the Vice President of the United States by encouraging an assassination of the Vice President of the United States. They need to be held accountable for this sick and disgusting suggestion of assassination. To stop political violence, bite down hard with sharp legal teeth. No one should get to walk away from something like this ! TRE45ON.
