A controversial social media post by the Libertarian Party of New Hampshire (LPNH) has attracted the attention of state and federal law enforcement agencies, local media have reported, as the political group that has previously developed a reputation for riling Democrats, Republicans, and even other libertarians has dug in and embraced the attention it’s receiving. LPNH posted on X on Sunday: “Anyone who murders Kamala Harris would be an American hero.” Amid backlash, the account deleted the post, citing the social media platform’s terms of service but asserting: “It’s a shame that even on a ‘free speech’ website that libertarians cannot speak freely” and “Libertarians are truly the most oppressed minority.” (X’s rules prohibit content “explicitly threatening, inciting, glorifying, or expressing desire for violence.”) [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] “The point of the second amendment is to shoot and kill tyrannous politicians,” reads another post from Sunday that is still up on the LPNH account. The post about Democratic presidential nominee Vice President Harris, which was deleted hours before former President and Republican nominee Donald Trump was the subject of a second apparent assassination attempt, drew criticism from politicians and commentators across the spectrum.
