Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson has pushed back on a rumor that his running mate will quit to prevent a Republican victory in November, telling an audience in Texas that it was best described by an unprintable word.
"Occasionally you get a question that is just so out of left field that I answered it with: Bull----," Johnson said at the annual Texas Tribune Festival.
Friends of William Weld, the former governor of Massachusetts whose ticket has given boosts in fundraising and gravitas, have said for days that Donald Trump's recovery in the polls had given him second thoughts about running as a "spoiler." In a CNN interview on Sept. 18, former Washington Post reporter Carl Bernstein said "there could be some pressure brought on" Weld by his friends, warning him that he could pull votes from Hillary Clinton and hand the presidency to Trump.

If there was any lingering doubt that Gary Johnson is a wacked-out stoner, that interview clip should dispell it.
