The New Hampshire Libertarian Party has come under fire for a series of social media posts endorsing violence against politicians, including Vice President Kamala Harris. The posts, which have since been deleted, prompted state and federal law enforcement agencies to take notice and condemn the party’s actions. The U.S. Secret Service confirmed they are aware of the posts and investigate all threats related to protectees like Harris. The New Hampshire Department of Safety and Attorney General’s office are also working with federal partners on the matter.
Leaders from both the state Democratic and Republican parties denounced the Libertarian Party’s posts, calling them dangerous and disgusting. The party, in response to criticism, issued a statement clarifying that they do not advocate for political assassinations, but were merely acknowledging how some members might react to an oppressive government. The party’s use of homophobic slurs and inflammatory language in response to criticism has further fueled the controversy.
In the midst of the backlash, the Libertarian Party continues to defend their right to free speech and express their beliefs, despite facing repercussions for their actions. The incident underscores the ongoing debate over the limits of free speech and the responsibility that comes with using social media platforms to express political views.
