Gary Johnson swings and misses on Syria, asking 'What is Aleppo?'

The Libertarian presidential candidate appeared on MSNBC’s Morning Joe Thursday, where he was asked what he would do about Aleppo. The city has suffered massive destruction during the Syrian civil war and is the center of the Syrian humanitarian crisis.

“And what is Aleppo?” Johnson responded.

“You’re kidding,” MSNBC’s Mike Barnicle shot back.

“No,” Johnson said.
