The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire came under fire Tuesday for boldly declaring on social media that it openly supports “the assassination of basically every elected Democrat in New Hampshire.”

The post continued, “If you don’t have the balls to do that, then you should probably vote GOP.”

The Libertarian Party of New Hampshire is not affiliated with the National Libertarian Party at all. Actually, the National Libertarian Party decertified the New Hampshire group in May for “repeatedly [undermining] our own candidates” and espousing “numerous anti-libertarian positions on a National level.”

New Hampshire Gov. Kelly Ayotte (R), told CBS Burlington affiliate WCAX: “This type of behavior is irresponsible and dangerous. Violent rhetoric has no place in our politics.”

She added, “Threats like this should be investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.”

The New Hampshire Libertarian Party gave a statement to the news outlet saying the group “believes that New Hampshire is healthier and freer when anyone who would enact an income tax fears for their life.”

The National Libertarian Party did not immediately respond to a request for comment from HuffPost.

This isn’t the first time the state party has made a post that seemed to promote political violence.

In September 2024, the group declared that “anyone who murders Kamala Harris would be an American hero.” Earlier this year, it said it was “perfectly permissible to kill” a former politician who proposed a state income tax.

Reactions to the shocking post were fast and furious.

Hey @elonmusk anything to say about this?Because you're always railing about how "the left is the party of violence" but seem oddly quiet about an official state party calling for the assassination of Democrats and then encouraging people to vote Republican. https://t.co/mSV4kDnCfC pic.twitter.com/SLDUXipkvX

The New Hampshire Libertarian party needs to be banned immediately. https://t.co/XC9gSGKum5

I openly support dunking these nerds’ heads in the toilet and flushing until they’ve been properly bullied, because clearly they didn’t get enough of it in high school. https://t.co/ekSqWDpwc9
