NH Libertarian Party Post Sparks Bipartisan Outrage over Assassination Threats
The post drew condemnation from both parties and prompted state security and attorney general reviews after officials said it called for murder of elected Democrats.
- On Tuesday, the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire posted on X that it "openly support the assassination of basically every elected Democrat in New Hampshire," drawing immediate bipartisan condemnation from state officials.
- The National Libertarian Party disaffiliated this group in May, citing "numerous anti-libertarian positions" and distancing itself from the organization led by chair Jeremy Kauffman.
- New Hampshire Governor Kelly Ayotte called the posts "irresponsible and dangerous," while Representative Maggie Goodlander demanded that federal law enforcement and the state Attorney General investigate the threats immediately.
- State House Minority Leader Alexis Simpson reported the threats to legislative security and the Attorney General's office, emphasizing that violent rhetoric endangers public servants across the state.
- Prior posts from the account included praising the potential assassination of then-Vice President Kamala Harris and suggesting it was "perfectly permissible to kill" a former Executive Councilor.
