What is Aleppo?

Gary Johnson, the Libertarian presidential candidate, apparently 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 is Aleppo?”

“You’re kidding me,” responded Mike Barnicle, who had asked the question, and then began to explain what Aleppo is to the candidate.

“OK, got it, got it,” Johnson said, cutting him off. He added: “With regard to Syria I do think it’s a mess. 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.

As the janitors at the studios of MSNBC sweep the stage of the smoldering remains of Gary Johnson’s presidential aspirations, I am interested to hear what Jellies think we should do about the refugee crisis and enlighten Mr. Johnson in the process.

R.I.P Gary…we hardly knew ye.
