from rival Austin Petersen— a replica of George Washington’s flintlock pistol — before tossing it in the garbage.
Mr. Petersen tearfully presented Mr. Johnson with the pistol as a symbol of party unity during the Libertarian Party convention in Orlando, Florida, Fox News reported.
“You have my sword, and you have my gun,” he said, as the nominee accepted the gift.
Fox News reported that Mr. Johnson then “unceremoniously chucked it in the garbage can.”
News of the incident started as a rumor on social media before both Mr. Johnson and Mr. Petersen confirmed it to Fox News Wednesday." yahoo
