American is in the midst of a blame game after Donald Trump's win, says Samantha Bee, and she's willing to plead guilty for not doing her part. "I just want to say I accept my share of the blame," said Bee. "I should have thrown Gary Johnson off that f—ing wall when I had the chance. Forgive me America." She said this while showing footage of herself and Johnson climbing a rock wall from a previous Full Frontal. She also blames "the Jews," jokingly showing a headline that claimed Hillary Clinton would have won if Jon Stewart

Jimmy Kimmel addressed crestfallen Clinton supporters on Wednesday night in the hopes of helping them cope with Trump's election victory. "A lot of voters woke up this morning happy that Donald Trump had won the election, but the other half of them, especially here in California, were very upset," Kimmel noted. "People were shocked, despondent, some were even crying." As a result, the late-night host decided to walk his viewers through the five stages of grief.

The first stage in the process is denial, which Kimmel summarized as "no, the...

Hillary Clinton supporters looking to blame Gov. Gary Johnson for jacking her votes are "fundamentally flawed" in their thinking ... according to Johnson's team. Angry Clinton voters have been shouting it from rooftops since late Tuesday night -- blasting Johnson because they believe the 4 million votes he got were wasted and would have helped Hillary get in office.  The guv's spokesperson tells TMZ that's just sour grapes, and Hrc could have upped her chances to win...

“Morning Joe” co-host Joe Scarborough mocked former Gov. Gary Johnson on Thursday for having what the Libertarian candidate described as “another Aleppo moment” during an MSNBC town hall event when he couldn’t name his favorite foreign leader. “He could not name a leader — living or dead, past or present,” Scarborough said on the MSNBC morning show the day after the town hall aired. “How does somebody think they’re going to run for President and be this ignorant? Completely ignorant of the most basic things. My children can answer those questions.” “I guess I’m having an Aleppo moment in the former President.

Outspoken Libertarian John Stossel is moderating Friday’s Green Party town hall, but the Fox Business host told TheWrap he is eager to take part in the event for a rival party because “other opinions should be heard.” The Green Party is “very far left, both on their views of the economy and the environment,” Stossel said, before explaining that he feels Green Party supporters “think the government is the solution to most every problem.” The Green Party did not immediately respond to TheWrap’s request for comment.

Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson had no idea what Aleppo was during an appearance on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Thursday. “What is Aleppo?” he asked, in a moment that could define his campaign and essentially end his long-shot presidential bid. Mike Barnicle asked Johnson what he would do about Aleppo if elected president, to which Johnson replied, “About?” When he asked what it was, Barnicle looked shocked and replied, “You’re kidding.” Also Read: What Is a Libertarian?

John Stossel will host a Libertarian town hall with third party presidential candidate Gary Johnson and his vice presidential running mate William Weld on Fox Business Network Friday, and the TV veteran wants Americans to understand what the party represents. Stossel, a Libertarian himself, describes his party as people who believe Americans “should be allowed to do anything that is peaceful.” “The founders had similar beliefs and that’s what helped America go from poverty to the most prosperous nation on earth,” Stossel told TheWrap. “Limited government, they talked about. We’ve gone way beyond limited government.” Also Read: Here's How Donald Trump Could Create.

Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton may have to share the presidential debate stage. Venues hosting the upcoming debates have been instructed to make plans for a potential third podium, as Libertarian Party presidential candidate Gary Johnson inches closer to qualifying for a spot on the stage, Politico reports. Producers working for the Commission on Presidential Debates issued the directive to the venues to make sure they're prepared for the possibility of a third-party candidate - like Johnson or Green Party nominee Jill Stein - being invited to participate in the debates.

I am still undecided on which presidential candidate will get my vote. I agree with some of her positions on issues but not with others. Much of what he claims he'll do in office is pretty extreme, but maybe we have to be open to unconventional action in order to shake us out of our political stagnation. I'm hoping to gain greater clarity, though in the voting booth Nov. 8, it really could be a coin flip that decides whether I vote for Dr. Jill Stein or Gov. Gary Johnson. Wait, you didn't think I would actually consider casting a ballot

On Fox News' Red Eye Wednesday morning, magician Penn Jillette and Libertarian Party presidential nominee Gary Johnson weighed in on New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo's proposal to cut the penalty for public possession of small amounts of marijuana and both felt "I've always advocated legalizing marijuana because decriminalizing turns its back on half of the problem which is the market place," Johnson explained. "Look, if they decriminalize pot, it just makes it in my opinion a lot easier for law enforcement to focus on those who are selling it. If you look at the profile of individuals in federal prison, the majority are those who have sold small amount of drugs on numerous occasions and have been caught, mandatory sentencing. So, you know, positive step, but legalize it. Let's tax it and let's regulate it."...

Indianapolis -- Former reality TV star Rupert Boneham said he thinks he has a real shot at becoming Indiana's next governor after being nominated as a third-party choice Saturday.

The fan favorite from 2004's "Survivor: All-Stars" was unopposed for the Libertarian Party's nomination, which came during the party's state convention in Indianapolis.

"My aim, honestly, is to win governor," Boneham said in a phone interview afterward. "I really feel I have a strong chance of pulling not just the Libertarian vote, but the independent vote, the undecided vote, and maybe even some votes from Democrats and Republicans."

He will face Republican Mike Pence and Democrat John Gregg in November's gubernatorial election. Current Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels is limited to two terms and cannot run again.

"We have a governor's candidate in Rupert Boneham that can reach out to the 70 percent of the population that does not vote, and bring them into the process,...
