Libertarian Presidential Nominee Jo Jorgensen on the Issues

“The police issue here now is a local issue, and we will let them work it out. If I was a president now, I would say no, we do not need to do something.”

On June 7th, Merion West’s Kevin Turner was joined by Jo Jorgensen, the Libertarian Party’s nominee in the upcoming presidential election. During the interview, Dr. Jorgensen provided her opinion on a number of different issues facing the country today.

On the protests against police brutality and racism taking hold across the country: “As a scientist, I understand that there is no one cause. Some might say because of training things happens, or some other reason. But it is not just one thing.”

On the proposal of defunding the police by Minneapolis City Council: “We, as Libertarians, believe we need the police, courts and the military, and for the government to run and fund those. The police issue here now is a local issue, and we will let them work it out. If I was a president now, I would say no, we do not need to do something.”
