Gary Johnson: 'What Is Aleppo?'

Gary Johnson, the Libertarian presidential candidate, does not know what Aleppo is.

Asked on Wednesday's "Morning Joe" what he would do if elected president about the city in Syria at the center of the refugee crisis, Johnson earnestly asked what Aleppo is even.

"And what is Aleppo?" Johnson said.

"You're kidding me," Mike Barnicle responded, who asked the question. Barnicle then began to explain what Aleppo is to the candidate.

"OK, got it, got it," Johnson cut him off, and then added, "With regard to Syria I do think it's a mess. I think that the only way that we deal with Syria is to join hands with Russia to diplomatically bring that at an end."

"It's just a mess," he said.

Yes.

The plagiarist in chief loves to ask gotcha questions.

If you don’t know...you don’t know. A little refreshing honesty. I never heard of Aleppo either.

Johnson is reportedly taking more votes from Hillary than Trump.

He needs to be neutralized.

Why not on “Morning Joe”?

Between Stein getting arrested, and Johnson not having a clue about the centerpiece of the civil war in Syria, these two clowns should get ZERO percent of any votes.

I’ve never heard of Aleppo either. It’s a “gotcha” question.

Yep.....MSM partisans and plagarists running to help the queen. Pure set up and gotcha question. I wonder how many times the past 5 years Aleppo has been mentioned on Morning Joe. Completely unwatchable at this point

Stein’s fans will be all for her demonstration vandalism.

I doubt there is a Johnson voter who could tell you where Aleppo is. Syria is not an important issue for them. Legalized pot is.

They are still players who hurt Hillary more than Trump.

Telling, isn’t it. Why would MSNBC be asking Johnson gotcha questions? I mean he is hurting Trump, right? Or is he? Could it be that the Clinton campaign has figured out he is stealing votes from them and has given the MSM it’s marching orders?

How this smug faced idiot still gets air time is amazing. Between him and Sharpton you see how shameless MSNBC is.
