Former President Donald Trump urged Libertarian Party members on Saturday to support his campaign in the 2024 election this November.

During his remarks at the Libertarian Convention in Washington, D.C., which drew some boos from people in the audience, Trump said he was asking for a “partnership” to defeat President Joe Biden.

“Combine with us — you have to combine with us,” Trump said, eliciting some boos from people in the audience. “We cannot give Crooked Joe Biden four more years.”

Trump urged the Libertarian Party to nominate him, suggesting they would be stuck getting up to 3% support in the election otherwise. He also pledged to “put a Libertarian in my cabinet” and in senior posts.

Although much of the media coverage focused on the jeering Trump faced, at least one of his allies in Congress said that sentiment did not reflect most people who showed up at the convention.

Trump just bodied the nerds booing him at the libertarian convention lmao

“Maybe you don’t want to win … keep getting your 3 percent every four years”

“Lots of what appeared to be paid agitators at the libertarian convention tonight,” Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) said in a post to X on his personal account.

“From what I could tell, the overwhelming share of the actual libertarians in attendance were enthusiastic and supportive of Trump. Thanks to the leadership of the Libertarian Party!” Lee added.

Trump spoke for about 33 minutes, making several promises if he is re-elected to the White House.

He vowed to commute the sentence of Silk Road founder Ross Ulbricht — who was given life in prison over an illicit drugs and goods website — and put together a special task force to review and eventually pardon January 6 prisoners.

Appealing to the Libertarian base, Trump talked about restraining big government and protecting “American sovereignty” from global forces. The former president said he would fight for the “fundamental freedoms” of expression, religion, owning a firearm, and not being over-taxed.

Trump also condemned Marxism, expressing the view that it is an “evil doctrine straight from the ashes of hell” and saying, “Teaching it to our children is considered, to us, child abuse.”

Independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy also spoke at the convention.

Comedian Dave Chappelle accused Israel this week of committing a genocide in Gaza while performing a show in the Middle East.

The National reported that the 50-year-old, who is Muslim, claimed in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, that what was happening in Gaza was a result of anti-Semitism in the West.

Chappelle’s remarks come after Palestinian Islamic terrorists in Hamas launched an unprecedented terrorist on October 7 against Israel, murdering 1,200+ people, wounding 5,300+, kidnapping hundreds, and engaging in a campaign of rape against women and girls.

“What is happening in Gaza is a direct result of anti-Semitism in the West,” he claimed. “If you are in America, the best thing you can do is to make American Jews feel safe, feel loved and supported so they can know they don’t have to support a country that is committing genocide just to feel safe.”

During his show, a DJ played a song titled “My Blood is Palestinian,” and people in the crowd screamed “Free Palestine!” during the show.

The New York Times previously reported that Chappelle requires everyone in the audience to surrender their phones at his shows so he cannot be recorded.

Reports surfaced just a few weeks after the October 7 massacre that he reportedly stood up for students who were facing fewer job prospects after they cheered on the slaughter of Israelis at the hands of the genocidal Palestinian terrorists.

A member of the audience was apparently stern with Chappelle, telling him to shut up, which sparked an “emotional response” from Chappelle as he allegedly attacked Israel for cutting off supplies to the area, which is controlled by Hamas.

Some in the audience reportedly shouted “Free Palestine,” triggering some fans to get up and leave the event.

He later reportedly tried to draw a false moral equivalence between Israel’s policies and Hamas’ heinous terrorist attacks.

One man who attended the event told the Daily Mail: “The audience was cheering Chappelle on during his tirade. I was sick. We were sick. I turned to my friends and wife and said I think it is time to go.”

“We walked out and met up with many other Jews leaving the show,” he continued. “Never in my life have I felt so unsafe and so fearful of what I was witnessing.”

Dave Chappelle attempted to address the controversy at the time by saying: “Right now, I’m in trouble because the Jewish community is upset. But I cannot express this enough: No matter what you read about that show in Boston, you will never see quotation marks around anything I said. They don’t know what I said.”
