Feds ‘aware of' NH Libertarian Party's post glorifying killing of VP Harris



By Asher Klein and Mary Markos • Published September 16, 2024 • Updated on September 16, 2024 at 7:46 pm


The U.S. Attorney's Office for New Hampshire and the Secret Service are both aware of a post on social media made by the state's Libertarian Party that praised as "an American hero" anyone who were to assassinate Vice President Kamala Harris.

The federal agencies confirmed to NBC10 Boston Monday that they knew about Sunday's message — which has drawn widespread condemnation, including from the Libertarian Party's own candidate for president — though they wouldn't confirm whether or not they were investigating they were investigating the inflammatory remark, which was deleted but followed by other such remarks. And while the FBI also wouldn't confirm an investigation to NBC10 Boston, a prominent member of the state's Libertarian Party posted video appearing to show two federal agents attempting to question him about the post.

The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire said it deleted the initial post on X, formerly Twitter, on Sunday that read, "Anyone who murders Kamala Harris would be an American hero," because of the site's rules, but lamented that libertarians cannot speak freely there. Both federal prosecutors and the Secret Service indicated Monday, when asked if they were investigating the post in question, that they investigate threats, though they didn't speak to whether the post in particular.

"We are aware of the tweet. Although the department generally will not confirm or deny any specific investigation, threatening violence is a crime and those who do this will be investigated, prosecuted, and held to account in a court of law," U.S. Attorney Jane Young said in a statement.
