Libertarian National Committee Chair “in Dialogue” with Trump on Cabinet Appointee
Independent Political Report ^ | November 8, 2024 | Jordan Willow Evans

Posted on 11/12/2024 4:01:56 PM PST by Angelino97

Libertarian National Committee Chair Angela McArdle stated in an email on Friday that she is already in communication with Republican Donald Trump’s team regarding the appointment of a libertarian to a cabinet position in his incoming administration.

In the email to party supporters, McArdle extended her “heartfelt thanks and appreciation” to Libertarian nominees Chase Oliver and Mike ter Maat, their campaign team, and their supporters, describing 2024 as “the most challenging election year in the party’s history.” McArdle acknowledged that, while the Libertarian Party did not win the presidency, she believes it will still have an influence on the incoming administration.

“While the ballot box may not have delivered the Libertarian Party a victory, the work that I have put in to garner assurances from President-elect Trump are poised to deliver us the most momentous victories, and influence, that we have ever had as a movement,” McArdle stated.

More specifically, McArdle referenced a pledge made by Trump to her to pardon Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht, which she expects to be fulfilled shortly after Trump’s inauguration. She also noted that she is in ongoing discussions with Trump’s team about his earlier commitment at the Libertarian National Convention to appoint a libertarian to his cabinet.

“We will have a libertarian in his cabinet. I am already in dialogue with President-elect Trump and his team for recommendations and conversations around potential candidates and positions,” McArdle added.

McArdle also said in the email that she is excited to see Trump “abolish the Dept. of Education” and work with figures like former Congressman Ron Paul and Representative Thomas Massie, the latter recently expressing his willingness for the role of Secretary of Agriculture.

Losertarians have helped to elect more Democrats than any other turd party.
They queered the vote for Oliver North and dozens of other candidates in Virginia alone.

the point here is that other ideas are welcome for discussion.

You never know where you might find a good one.

I seriously think that we need to get democrats involved in the new administration also. We can be more inclusive. How about something like this for Kamala?

Libertarians are just hedonists who want lower taxes.

A friend of mine suggested that we appoint a libertarian to head the FCC or Voice of America.
