During an interview on Hardball last night, Libertarian party candidate Gary Johnson embarrassed himself — AGAIN! — this time unable to name a single foreign leader he admired. What’s worse, he actually called it an “Aleppo moment” during the interview when he couldn’t answer:
Gary Johnson – who on top of Aleppo couldn't today name even one foreign leader – still complains about being excluded from debates. Sigh

Here’s the cringe-worthy video with running mate Bill Weld attempting to save Johnson, but Chris Matthews was having none of that:

On the bright side…
At least Gary Johnson knows what Aleppo is now.

Johnson later took to Twitter and Facebook for a little damage control and attempted to turn the conversation back toward Hillary Clinton:
About those foreign leaders…Better question: Why are all the Hillary mouthpieces so concerned about Johnson/Weld? https://t.co/YDU6AuOFTD

Well, they won’t be so concerned about Johnson/Weld if these gaffes keep piling up, that’s for sure. Gaffes like these:
