[Disputed] Rand Paul brushes off Gary Johnson at FreedomFest

[RonPaulMall]

Anyone else find it ironic that Rand has pledged to support Donald (the RNC candidate) over the libertarian candidate who is nearly polling 15% and very close to making the debates?

If Rand truly believed in liberty and truly planned on term-limiting himself as he has promised to do, wouldn't he come out strong for Johnson knowing this is his last term as Senator and just disavow his position on abortion? Of all years for the Paul's to not support the libertarian candidate, they choose this year when the candidate may have a shot?

Ron Paul has not endorsed the GOP Presidential nominee since 1980 and this year is no different. He has on occasion endorsed, and even ran himself as the Libertarian Presidential nominee, but only when they were worthy. What about Gary suggests he is worthy of Ron's support? His belief that government should compel Jews to bake cakes for Nazis? His support of managed trade agreements? His belief that religious liberty is a "black hole"? The fact that he chose a gun grabbing, neocon as his running mate?

What about Ron Paul's forty years in public politics would lead you to conclude that he'd put electoral viability above ideology?

2. Freedom Fest was in mid-July; why is Politico reporting on this alleged incident in mid-August?

The Politico reporter followed Johnson around for weeks and it took a while after that to put together this very very long article. This is just a short excerpt.
