Gary Johnson: UK rejected ‘crony capitalism’ with Brexit

By Harper Neidig, TheHill.com, June 25th, 2016:

Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson hailed the outcome of the Brexit vote, applauding the United Kingdom for rejecting “crony capitalism” by choosing to leave the European Union.

“I think what the Brexit vote represents is Britain saying, look they’ve had an end to the crony capitalism of the European Union,” he said during a speech at Politicon on Saturday, adding that EU regulations had hampered trade for the U.K.

Johnson also told the Washington Post that Americans should not lecture the British over the vote.
