'I Guess I'm Having an Aleppo Moment': Gary Johnson Can't Name a Single Foreign Leader
'I Guess I'm Having an Aleppo Moment': Gary Johnson Can't Name a Single Foreign Leader
It was, in Gary Johnson 's own words, another "Aleppo moment." During a town hall-style interview on MSNBC on Wednesday night, Mr. Johnson, the Libertarian candidate for president, was asked by the host Chris Matthews to name his favorite foreign leader. Mr. Johnson, appearing flustered, was at a loss to come up with a name.

Gary Johnson is a scary fellow. He has close ties with the Koch Brothers.
How is THIS fool polling better than Jill Stein?
Probably because he has experience as a governor.
Still, really dude? You don't even know Kim Jon Un? Putin? Justin Trudeau? Anyone?
Too much pot.
Supposedly he ran New Mexico pretty well when he was in office. So he's at least competent at something. Just not anything having to do with international relations or foreign policy, apparently.
Maybe Weld should be the candidate and Johnson the running mate instead.
Yeah, I find Weld too be much more presidential (and less high) than Johnson. Maybe it's because he doesn't talk as much.
I think Weld just doesn't smoke as much pot as Johnson does.
Like for fuck's sake, Gary, you can't name one? Anyone? Have to give to Weld for not face-palming through the entire thing.
At least Johnson realizes when he's being an idiot. Unlike a certain orange fellow.
Yeah, Johnson knows he doesn't know stuff. They only thing Trump claims he doesn't know is who David Duke is.
Johnson promised he wouldn't smoke as president. Maybe he should start now.
LOL, "I can stop anytime. Honest. I'll stop when I actually have to do stuff."
Maybe you should stick to running Cannabis Sativa, Inc., Gary. Then you can get high whenever you want and someone else can represent the Libertarian party.
Honestly, I really like his platform, but I don't think he's the best person to execute on it.
