Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson stumbled while answering a question about the Syrian refugee crisis on Thursday, asking "What is Aleppo?" in an interview on MSNBC.
Aleppo is a major city in Syria that's been engulfed by the civil war there and the refugee crisis, but Johnson seemed confused when "Morning Joe" co-host Mike Barnicle asked him: "What would you do if you were elected about Aleppo?"

"About?" Johnson said.
"Aleppo," Barnicle responded.
Johnson paused and said: "And what is Aleppo?"
"You're kidding ..." the incredulous Barnicle answered.
"No," Johnson said.
"Aleppo is in Syria -- it's the epicenter of the refugee crisis," Barnicle said.
