'What is Aleppo?' Gary Johnson stumped on Syria question - chairman - 09-08-2016 Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson was seemingly stumped Thursday morning on a fundamental question about the Syrian civil war – a stumble that comes as he tries to make his case for being included in the upcoming presidential debates. Asked on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” what he would do about Aleppo -- the major Syrian city that has been a stronghold for opposition forces and under siege by Bashar Assad’s government -- Johnson responded: “And what is Aleppo?” Journalist Mike Barnicle responded, “You’re kidding.” Johnson said he was not, and Barnicle explained, “Aleppo is in Syria. … It’s the epicenter of the refugee crisis.” “Okay, got it,” Johnson said, and went on to call Syria a “mess.” Re: 'What is Aleppo?'
