Gary Johnson: Libertarians Agree With College Professors and Bernie Sanders

According to Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson, Libertarians apparently largely agree with leftist college professors and socialists like Sen. Bernie Sanders.

During the Libertarian Party presidential debate at the Libertarian National Convention, prospective candidates were asked whether it’s a problem that 83 percent of law professors are allegedly Democrats.

While the other candidates mocked Democrats and the law profession, Johnson said, “Well, I think that 83 percent of all professors are Democrats. And how big of a problem is that? You know what, I think Libertarians probably agree with those professors about 75 percent of the time.”

“This is the opportunity we have here to bring together those law professors, that’s the opportunity we have here to bring together those Democrats, along with smaller government,” Johnson explained. “Look, we come to a T in the road when it comes to economics, but if we can agree on so much, you know what? The discussion then opens up to how government is oppressive, how government is tyrannical, and how we can change to have and actually accomplish lesser government.”

The leftist college professors Johnson claims Libertarians agree with are the same professors who routinely try to shut down dissenting views.
