5 ways Gary Johnson and the Libertarians would destroy America

2. He supports the TPP and crony capitalism

In an interview with Politico, Johnson came out in favor of the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a free trade agreement that many have accused of silencing free speech by expanding criminal punishment for publishing “trade secrets” and violating copyright.

It has also been viewed as “crony-capitalism” incarnate. Those are actually the words of Johnson himself. Just two weeks after saying that he suddenly had a change of heart and came out in favor of the rotten deal.

“It is my understanding that the TPP does advance free trade,” says Johnson, “Is it a perfect document? Probably not. But based on my understanding of the document, I would be supporting it [though] in a perfect world there wouldn’t be a document like that, there would just be free trade.”
