Gary Johnson Trashes Leaders Who Know Geography
- 5 years ago
Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson suggested on Tuesday that the United States would be less likely to engage in foreign conflicts if its president did not have a firm grasp on world geography.
During an interview on MSNBC, Johnson became testy as he defended a series of recent foreign policy gaffes, including not knowing about the Syrian city of Aleppo and being unable to name a single foreign leader.
“Talking about a foreign leader I respect, I have a hard time with that one,” Johnson told MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell. “That’s just who I am. And now I’m going to have to pick out a world leader and there’s going to be something wrong with them. And now I’m going to have to defend them! Well, maybe I think too much.”
“You are running to be commander-in-chief,” Mitchell reminded the candidate.
“Yeah, and you know what?” Johnson trumpeted back. “The fact that somebody can dot the i’s and cross the t’s on a foreign leader or a geographic location then allows them to put our military in harm’s way!”
