Ventura's gonna have a problem with that, after he came out and publicly backed Kevin Barrett:

In almost all cases, as Political Director I support the candidates as
nominated by our state parties no matter how I feel about them. I cannot
in good conscience do this in the case of Kevin Barrett.
I do not have a problem with him or anyone as a so-called "9/11 Truther."
I accept that people who express skepticism over the official story about
what happened that day have a home in the LP. But Mr. Barrett goes well
beyond that in two ways:
1) He frequently calls for the mass executions for treason for reporters
who wrote articles with which he takes issue. I absolutely will not
support any candidate who calls for mass murder of anyone, and am appalled
that anyone who considers themselves Libertarian would advocate something
so horrific.
2) He has made qualified statements of support for the preeminent
Holocaust deniers in North America. I researched this extensively before
coming to this conclusion. He seems to be playing both sides of that
fence. I am and will always be totally intolerant of the Holocaust
deniers. It's a blatant racism borne of a deliberate stupidity and I will
do absolutely everything in my power to make sure that Holocaust deniers
do not feel they have a home in the LP.
I strongly urge the Wisconsin LP to not nominate Kevin Barrett for US
Congress. Regardless of your decision however I will go out of my way to
disassociate him from the national LP.
yours in liberty -
Sean Haugh
Political Director
