Johnson: I thought Aleppo was an acronym

Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson said he thought Aleppo was an acronym when he was asked about the city at the center of the Syrian civil war on Thursday.

“Well, I was thinking acronym when he said Aleppo. Guilty. No excuse whatsoever,” explained Johnson during a Thursday afternoon interview on Fox News. The Libertarian candidate responded “What is Aleppo?” when asked how he would respond to the city’s growing crisis while on MSNBC in the morning.
