Gary Johnson is confused about the civil war in Syria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
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.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“And what is Aleppo?” Johnson responded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“You’re kidding,” MSNBC’s Mike Barnicle shot back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“No,” Johnson said.
After he was told what Aleppo was, Johnson did go on to discuss his plan for Syria \u2014 which he called “a mess” \u2014 though his plan was vague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He recommended “joining hands with Russia to bring this civil war to an end.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Johnson said the crisis was the result of the U.S. support of a regime change.
