The folks at MSNBC’s Morning Joe are still unsure what to make of Gary Johnson.
In an interview that aired on Friday morning, MSNBC political reporter Kasie Hunt spoke with the Libertarian candidate for president during his trip to Washington on Wednesday.
During their conversation, Hunt asked Johnson about pulling even with Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton if he made the first presidential debate on September 26th.
Johnson indicated that his poll numbers would skyrocket if he made the debate stage, and that it wouldn’t matter what he says during the debate.
“It would just be that people would recognize that there’s another choice and that there would be an examination of me and [VP running mate] Bill Weld as who we are and what we’ve done and based on that,” he said in the interview.
Johnson then stuck his tongue out to further articulate that he could “not say anything” and still crush it after the first debate.
Morning Joe host Mika Brzezinski was speechless, saying, “He really did that?”
“That never happened to me in an interview before,” Hunt replied. “But otherwise we had a very lengthy, extended conversation.”
Yup, Johnson did that.
