'What is Aleppo?' Gary Johnson gets stumped on 'Morning Joe' and it's embarrassing

This is probably the most embarrassing moment for any candidate in 2016 so far, and that’s saying something. Watch as Libertarian candidate Gary Johnson has no idea what “Aleppo” is or its significance to the war on ISIS:

Barnicle on Morning Joe: “What would you do if you are elected about Aleppo?"
Gary Johnson: “And what is Aleppo?”
“You’re kidding.”
“No."

It’s quite painful to watch:
