Remove Joshua Smith from the Libertarian National Committee

Remove Joshua Smith from the Libertarian National Committee

The Issue

Joshua Smith is a terrible representation for the Libertarian Party of the United States.

From a chaotic personal life, to pandering to conspiracy -driven narratives and bigots, Joshua Smith is not fit to hold office. His "show," (a video podcast) “Breaking the Cycle,” is a prime example of what I’m referencing; from hosting known open anti-Semite Ryan Dawson (a frequent guest on the David Duke podcast) to an alliance with the so-called Tower Gang, of the Tower Power Hour podcast. This group is quite open with their bigotry, ranging from a giddy use of the N word, to problematic comments regarding Jews and the LGBTQ community, going so far as to use such filth when appearing on the Sept 10 episode of “Break the Cycle.”
I am a free speech and freedom of association absolutist, but with both come consequences.
Having joined the Libertarian Party for the first time in my 47-years, I have not renewed, and have zero plans to do so, as long as Josh Smith remains in a position of leadership and power.
I am not alone in this thought, and with all of the troubles the LP faces, this one should bear a simple solution.
