So much for the party of freedom and limited government.
Despite former President Donald Trump’s courageous attempt to earn the Libertarian Party’s support for president, the party originally associated with Ron Paul’s freedom revolution picked a nominee who’s previously backed authoritarian leftist policies including mask mandates and open borders.
On Sunday, the Libertarian Party announced it had chosen candidate Chase Oliver, notorious for spoiling the 2022 Georgia Senate race where he earned enough votes to force a run-off between Republican Herschel Walker and Democrat Raphael Warnock, the latter of whom ended up winning the seat.
While Oliver claims to align with the traditional wing of the Libertarian party, social media posts show he supports far-left policies.
LIBERTARIANS: By nominating Chase Oliver the LP just alienated every Silicon Valley libertarian I know. Their presidential nominee supports:
– Transitioning children
– Mask & Vax mandates
– Men in women’s sports
– Open borders pic.twitter.com/gdds7SGpY3

For example, Oliver at one point ordered guests to wear masks during a Thanksgiving celebration, saying, “Wear a mask when not eating, Space yourself accordingly.”

In other posts, Oliver also espoused support for “trans” indoctrination of children, and for biological men participating in women’s sports.
Oliver, a staunch LGBTQ+ ally, also previously stated he has no problem with grown men dressed as drag queens reading books to children.
Libertarian nominee Chase Oliver:
99% of drag queen story hours are fine for kids. If he had children, he says he’d bring them to one and leave them there.

I wrote about Chase Oliver in 2022 when he was running against Warnock and Herschel Walker…he is far closer to a liberal than a conservative https://t.co/Gp44BW6gPf pic.twitter.com/HwyR7yKp4J

The Libertarian Party presidential candidate has also claimed America would be better off surrendering national sovereignty and having open borders.
Earlier this year Chase Oliver, the Libertarian Party Nominee, went to the border to advocate for open borders.
With everything we’ve seen happen to our country because of Biden’s policies, this guy is arguing to open the border even more. Naive. Foolish. Anti-American. pic.twitter.com/rAZvtVVZVw

He’s also previously backed the BLM social justice movement:

Social media users lamented that Oliver’s nomination signaled the capitulation of the once-great Libertarian Party to the radical left.
Oh look. The Nikki Haley of the Libertarian Party.

Libertarians couldn’t do better than this? We can’t consider them as a serious political party after this.

It’s honestly hilarious they watched all of that play out the last 4 years and decided to be democrats

There is nothing libertarian about the libertarian party anymore, they were infiltrated after 2016

Trump got the Libertarian Party to implode itself
It will take them years to recover (if ever) from the optics disaster of that clownshow convention

Ahead of Oliver’s nomination, former President Donald Trump made history as the first president to appear at the Libertarian National Convention, telling Libertarians to cast their vote for him if they wanted to defeat Joe Biden and the Democrats’ destructive anti-America policies.
“Only do that if you want to win,” Trump advised. “If you want to lose, don’t do that. Keep getting your three percent every four years.”
