Libertarian Party of New Hampshire Rejects Nominee Chase Oliver and Will Withhold Support
Independent Political Report ^ | June 14, 2024 | Jordan Willow Evans

The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire has publicly rejected Chase Oliver as the party’s presidential nominee, asserting he lacks the traits for a libertarian victory and stating the party will not formally support his campaign later this year.

In a statement put out on Friday by the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire via social media, the party stated that it would not support Oliver later this year. It contrasted several of Oliver’s views and past actions with the party’s principles, particularly regarding gender-affirming care for minors, drag show access for children, support of Critical Race Theory, and other instances where his views otherwise diverged from the party’s values.

“The nominee has taken many actions which prove that we cannot ultimately endorse him,” the statement read. “Whether he is foolish, lacking in courage, or intentionally subversive, it is clear that he does not possess the necessary traits for libertarian victory.”

Additionally, the party called out Oliver for his unwillingness to debate with “anyone who disagrees with his progressive ideology,” which likely references a recent invitation from podcaster Tim Pool to Oliver earlier this week that he ultimately turned down.

Despite the party’s decision to withhold formal support of Chase Oliver’s campaign, it is unable to remove him from the New Hampshire ballot. Oliver traveled to New Hampshire earlier Friday to file his intent to seek office in the state.

“Although New Hampshire ballot laws do not allow our party to prevent the nominee from appearing on the ballot – indeed, he received an entirely incidental benefit from being part of the same ballot-access petition drive as our chosen and endorsed gubernatorial candidate – we will offer him no formal support as a party, nor will the vast majority of our members,” the statement read.

It is a bit comical that several state-level groups are rejecting the perverted nominee. I don't know the history of the party but I don't recall any party's state-level organization rejecting the national party choice. Maybe that happened during the 50s and 60s in the south? Libertarians should have skipped nominating a candidate and called on their members to simply vote for Trump. Even their national party chair is publicly toying with a Trump vote.

Maybe this election cycle will break up the Libertarian party into traditional libertarians and the social pro-perversion and drug libertarians. The former are really in line with Trump and MAGA Republicans.

The Libertarians must feel like Kathy Griffin. Trump broke them both.

The Libertarian Party has a bit of a tradition rejecting their national nominee. In 2000, the Arizona LP rejected Harry Browne and ran L. Neil Smith for president.

And there is currently an effort to create a new libertarian party, called the Liberal Party.

Ironically, the Liberal Party was founded by the "Oliver Chase wing" last year, because they thought the LP's Mises Caucus was too far to the right.

The Austrian Mises Caucus...

A DOA European solution that is so unAmerican and out of step with America.

I worked the Libertarian convention in Reno and was dismayed at the crackpot and crazy mishmash of stuff they are trying to fit on the party banner. A table each for Mises Caucus, drugs, abortion, ranked-choice voting, etc.

Meet Chase Oliver, the youthful US presidential candidate

Who is apparently stupid as well. If he supports what is being reported that he supports.

Why would Chase Oliver go to Bangor? I thought he was a homosexual. 🙄

The Libertarians, a party of crazy people. I was a member in the 1990s, so yes I was crazy.

Chase Oliver should be visiting Ogunquit, where he will have fun. Ogunquit is known as Maine’s San Francisco!
