"what is aleppo?" this morning -- libertarian presidential nominee gary johnson was asked that question about syria on m-s-n-b-c. jeanne moos shows us how other presidential candidates have made similar mistakes. we dare you to try and look away even if you've seen it ten times already. ( msnbc anchor ) "what would you do if you were elected about aleppo?" ( gary johnson ) "...and what is aleppo?" ( msnbc anchor ) "you're kidding?"

"no." it instantly gave birth to #what is aleppo. granted, 11 out of 14 people we asked on the street. ( woman on street ) "what's aleppo? i wouldn't know." couldn't identify the syrian city at the epicenter of the refugee crisis. ( reporter ) "what is aleppo?" ( man on street ) "i have no idea." ( man on street ) "i don't know, but i know the libertarian candidate got it wrong, and i don't know it either." ( woman on street ) "one of those animals?" ( reporter ) "not an animal." speaking of animals, someone tweeted, "donald trump probably wouldn't kn between aleppo and alpo." ( jeannie moos / reporter ) "...but when you're criticizing someone for screwing up, you better be sure you don't screw up yourself." a former u-s ambassador to iraq called libertarian johnson, "aleppo johnson," then proceeded to mischaracterize aleppo.

( sarah palin ) "in what respect, charlie?" ...and when herman cain was asked if he agreed with president obama on libya. ( herman cain ) "ok. libya." the silence was deafening. ( herman cain ) "i got all this stuff twirling around in my head." what wasn't twir perry's head was the third department he would eliminate... ( rick perry ) "...and what's the third one there? let's see." gary johnson said he first thought "aleppo" was an acronym. "i blanked." ...but trying to guess could be worse. ( woman on street ) "would it be a disease?" one tweet framed johnson's gaffe as if it were jeopardy. "a three-word sentence meaning 'end of campaign.' johnson: 'what is aleppo?' trebek, sighing, 'that is correct, gary.'" jeanne moos, cnn... ( gary johnson ) "...and what is
