| Subject: Lincoln Chafee: Stop Endless Wars To Deal With Coronavirus Pandemic Tue Mar 31, 2020 2:06 am | |
| But the former governor and Libertarian candidate doesn’t think anyone else can do that.
Lincoln Chafee once shared a debate stage with Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. This year, he’s running for President again—as a Libertarian. Small government is not a popular position to take in the face of a terrifying pandemic. But the former Rhode Island governor thinks that the Libertarian message of responsibility is actually well-suited for dealing with the coronavirus outbreak. And he feels vindicated in his message of ending America’s resource-draining overseas wars. The former Rhode Island governor is the candidate with the highest national profile in a crowded Libertarian race, which has been dominated by the academic Jacob Hornberger and performance art prankster Vermin Supreme. Below is a lightly-edited transcript of the conversation between Chafee and the National Interest. Your campaign slogan is "end the wars, end the reckless spending, tell the truth." I think that's a pretty good summary of what's consistently been your message throughout your political career. I'm wondering why you think these are the three issues that you want to put at the forefront.
