Gary Johnson: Calling illegals “illegal” is “very incendiary” (video)

A golden moment from his interview with our Townhall cousin, Guy Benson. Watch him get genuinely pissy at around 4:00 when Guy, very politely, presses him on why the term “illegal” is so troubling. What we’re left with here is a third-party candidate who’s hyper-libertarian on immigration, of all issues, but not so libertarian on, for example, a carbon tax or whether business owners should be forced to cater gay weddings. That’s his pitch to conservatives who have been alienated by Trump: Possibly some new taxes, certainly less religious liberty, and all the amnesty you can eat. There’s no reason left why any anti-Trump conservative should waste a vote on this guy when they could back Evan McMullin, a write-in choice, or simply not vote for president on their ballot. Johnson’s appeal, we’re told, is as a protest candidate. What am I protesting in voting for him? Borders?

Moron....yeah that's gary

Talk about the issue, Gary, not how the issue should be talked about.

 

[mz10]

He's such a leftist. He really is. The only things he *ever* gets excited or passionate about are left-wing issues. It's not about him being pro-choice or whatever. I could vote for a pro-choice libertarian, but not a guy who is straight leftist through and through. Honestly Kucinich is better than him. This isn't the movement I joined 6 years ago.

 

[Petar]

Libertarians with a boner for appealing to liberals need to be purged from the whole movement.

He needs to go back to New Mexico.

Some people need to be upset!

 

[euphemia]

I think part of being Libertarian is speaking plainly about the issues. Ron Paul does not mince words, for sure. If you don't believe me, go look for the videos where then-Fed Chair Ben Bernanke was brought in before Paul's committee.

Gary can't be mealy mouthed or address the tone of the discussion. He needs to say what his position is and go from there.

 

[Cleaner44]

Who gives a crap about Johnson at this point. He isn't a libertarian but he is representing the Libertarian party pathetically. The sooner he loses and leave the party, the better.

 

[AuH20]

Gary doesn't even have the cajones to bring up the benefits they receive by theft taxation.

Standard beltway libertarian.

Gary needed a trigger warning and a safe space. Noticed he was playing the angry man the other day on another show. Must be a new tactic.

 

[Natural Citizen]

He's right about the door to door knocking and paperz pleez gag. Have to be careful with promoting that. Eventually, they'll run out of Mexicans to haul off and those task forces won't just go home and call it a day. Next thing you know they'll be knocking on granny's door asking paperz pleez.

 

[69360]

Whatever. I call them illegals because they are. I don't care if they are offended. If I had my way I would give them all a green card in one fell swoop and make them all legal. Then no entitlements till citizenship using the existing path. No entitlements until then. It's not a hard problem to solve.

 

[Lovecraftian4Paul]

I'm starting to regret even voting for this guy in 2012. He's desperately trying to poach votes from Dems and leftists and has basically abandoned everything truly conservative and libertarian. They are trying to make "illegal immigrant" the new PC no no term and it's gross that he is helping.

But who is talking about "door to door knocking" and random searching of papers?

 

[RJ Liberty]

But who is talking about "door to door knocking" and random searching of papers?

How else would officials round up 11 million illegals?

 

[RestorationOfLiberty]

Gary Johnson yells/gets mad over the term "illegal" must use!



"I raped her because I could not have sex with her" makes as much sense, LOL Silly Grey, borders works and you will never be elected again because you are a globalist hack.

Yep. His strategy is to appeal to and harness the electorate's ignorance, not to correct it. It is a no-win if he loses, and not even a guaranteed win if he doesn't. He'll have won for all the wrong reasons.
