Libertarian Party Presidential Candidate Praises Company For Firing Woman Who Posted “All Lives Matter” on Facebook
Summit News ^ | 08/05/2020 | Paul Joseph Watson

Posted on 08/09/2020 8:09:08 AM PDT by ding_dong_daddy_from_dumas

Libertarian Party presidential nominee Jo Jorgensen praised a company for firing an employee who had posted “all lives matter” on her private Facebook page as an example of the free market standing up against “systemic racism.”

Yes, really.

During a C-SPAN interview, Jorgensen argued that Rosa Parks was discriminated against because, “what a lot of people don’t realize is that that was a government-owned, government-run bus, and the only way that racism was able to go on for so long was the government was putting it into place.”

She then claimed that it’s harder for private companies to engage in ‘systemic racism’ because they would go out of business, before celebrating the fact that a woman lost her job for posting “all lives matter” on her Facebook page.

“There was a woman who on her private Facebook — this was highly publicized — her private Facebook put ‘All Lives Matter,’ and the company fired her,” Jorgensen stated.

“And what I’d like to make note of she wasn’t talking to or wasn’t tweeting a coworker, an employee, a customer, a client, anybody like that, and this was her private Facebook, not the company Facebook, and yet the company said ‘OK, we don’t tolerate that.'”

Maybe someone should point out to Jorgensen that saying “all lives matter” isn’t remotely racist and that disagreeing with this statement is in fact a racist position.

Under her ideal system, woke corporations would feel even more empowered to trample free speech, opening up millions more Americans to be viciously targeted by cancel culture mobs who intimidate and bully companies into policing their employees’ behavior.

Under her ideal system, woke corporations would feel even more empowered to trample free speech, opening up millions more Americans to be viciously targeted by cancel culture mobs who intimidate and bully companies into policing their employees’ behavior.

Jorgensen also claimed that “private companies cannot discriminate as easily and get off as scot-free as the federal government.”

Presumably she missed the last 4 years of rampant social media censorship, which has overwhelming targeted libertarians and conservatives.

No wonder the Libertarian Party is a national joke.

Jorgensen makes Gary Johnson look like a bastion of logic and credibility.

The LP is to libertarianism as RINOs are to conservatism.

About time for us to start returning the reactions.
And violence, if necessary.
Enough of this shi...er...Obamastuff.

The Libertarian Party is now supporting anarcho-communism? That just doesn’t seem possible but then again, there it is.

As I always suspected, “libertarians” are just liberals who are afraid of the title.

Most libertarians can’t stand her. She’s just using that party.

Absolutely nothing “libertarian” in losing your job posting what she did on her private FB oage. Even this idiot pointed out “it was on her private FB page”. Wth, chick. I hope whatever followers you have call you out publicly and demand your definition of what you espouse.

She does not sound like any libertarian I’ve encountered in my lifetime.

Or read, or heard of.

Nobody at CATO thinks like her.

“... government-owned, government-run bus, and the only way that racism was able to go on for so long was the government was putting it into place.”


True, on the face of it, but what she (probably intentionally) neglects to mention is that that government was wholly-owned and operated by Democrat politicians.

I am a “libertarian” and by no means a liberal.

4.5 million votes in 2016 for the Libertarians. I don’t think they will pass even 3-million votes in 2020. The more she talks....the more she appears like a Joe Biden-clone.

I consider myself libertarian in many things, but I find that many self-declared libertarians can’t see the forest for the trees.

What do you mean by “libertarian?” Too vague for my comfort.

Justine Amash endorses her..

So now we know she is a looney toon for sure. Plus she looks like a Karen as well.

So much for the Libertarians. If they will not stand up for freedom of speech, then what good are they? All they care about is smoking dope.

Actually I think all people...which includes any business...have the right to associate as they wish. So yes, on one hand it’s great she can be fired for this.

OTOH it goes both ways. I find out you are a BLM lover I should have no problem firing you. 4th Amendment.

I’ve long said this “discrimination” law stuff needs to stop. 4th Amendment.

There’s nothing anarchist about any of these people.
