Defending Jacob Hornberger Against the Libertarian Party Chairman’s Insults

Ron Paul Institute
Jun 21, 2024


Jacob Hornberger has been a prolific and erudite communicator for liberty over the past few decades through his own written and oral communication and through the Future of Freedom Foundation of which he is the founder and president.

Nonetheless, Angela McArdle, the chairman of the United States Libertarian Party, proclaimed this month in an episode of the show Your Welcome with host Michael Malice that Hornberger is “a total psycho” who is “there behind the bars screaming.” She also, in the episode, called this hero for libertarianism an example of “peak autism and hypocrisy.”

Of course, people familiar with Hornberger would know to be very skeptical of these snide comments. But, other people may be inclined to believe this disparagement by the Libertarian Party chairman has merit.

Anyone who thinks McArdle is on to something in her insults directed at Hornberger would be well served by listening to the June 15 episode of economist Bob Murphy’s The Bob Murphy Show in which Murphy comprehensively demonstrates McArdle’s assertions regarding Hornberger lack foundation. Listen to this episode here.

Angela made all the accusations. And, having researched her claims, they’re self-serving bullshit. Jacob did not ever support government lockdowns. She lied when she said that to manipulate the ignorant.

In reality, Jacob has been right in claiming that the LP is run by prags and Republican-lites who want to turn the LP into a tool of the Republican Party. Just look at how much Angela has been kissing the feet of Trump and patting herself on the back for getting a 90s era Progressive like Trump to talk at the LP convention. Opposing one Progressive and supporting another doesn’t do anything for the party or for liberty. She is a tool. Nothing more.

And she hates Jacob for exposing her.

In contrast, Jacob had consistently held true to actual libertarian philosophy and refused to sell out his integrity for partisan gain. In other words, he is the very opposite of Angela.

Jacob has consistently wanted to dissolve the entire state regulatory apparatus that made the lockdowns possible. To try and twist that into him approving of state mandated lockdowns is an outright lie at every level. McArdle really exposed herself for the lying snake that she is in that Malice interview.

Her entire campaign since the nomination convention has been to do everything she can to get Donald Trump elected using Oliver as a Leftist spoiler. This alone should get her removed from her position since she is clearly betraying her own party to benefit the Republicans. And it proves that Hornberger’s claims that she is just a LINO Republican-lite is spot on.

And anyone who supports Trump over Biden is genuinely stupid. Trump supported the lockdowns. Trump supported the jab. Trump supported the mandates. Trump printed trillions of dollars and destroyed the economy. Trump is a warmonger that led the slaughter of tens of thousands (if not hundreds of thousands) of men, women, and children. Trump is completely opposed to free trade and started a destructive trade war with China that has harmed every American.

It is this Progressive anti-human, anti-freedom sack of human feces that McArdle supports and is actively working to get elected. That isn’t incrementalism or pragmatism.

She has proven Hornberger right on his every claim about her. She is a traitor to libertarianism and the LP itself.

No one should ever taking this lying witch seriously ever again..

I haven't heard McArdle talk about Hornberger at all. But I feel sure that she's isn't so much pro-Trump as anti-Biden. Trump was not, after all, the only candidate from outside the party to speak at the convention. And that she's exactly right when she says that what little oxygen hasn't been sucked out of the room by the two major party clowns is being used up by RFKJr.

I've also heard Hornberger foam at the mouth. The autism is indeed strong in that one.

I'm one of those extremists... maybe with autism

I don't think he's one of the ones who can laugh at himself, though.

McArdle isn't the first person to ever get sick of one of those.

IIRC, Hornberger fairly recently made one of those sitting in the car videos, and it was kind of surprising. Not quite as reasoned as one might expect from him.

Oh yeah, the "goo-goo eyed [Libertarian] party hierarchy". Guess we know why Angela might have a response about Hornberger...

The LP flag should look like this:

There is no valid distinction to be made between libertarians who are "autistic" and ones who are not.

That's because all genuine libertarians are "autistic" to at least some degree.

The distinction to be made is between the ones who are able to laugh about it and the ones who aren't (the latter of which is itself an expression of that self-same "auttism").
