Gary Johnson’s VP: I’m Not Sure Anyone’s More Qualified Than Clinton to be President

Gary Johnson‘s VP pick Bill Weld went a little off-message today by saying that he can’t think of anyone more qualified than Hillary Clinton to be president.

Weld started off the interview with Chuck Todd by defending his running mate over his “Aleppo moments” by saying he’s not a “pop quiz” guy and called him a “deep thinker.”

Todd pressed him on whether he would be concerned about being a spoiler. And very interestingly, Weld was very critical of Donald Trump and how threatened he is by the Republican nominee becoming president whilst saying he thinks “very highly” of Clinton.

And right after Weld argued why Johnson would be a better president than Clinton, this happened:

TODD: You believe he’s more qualified to be president than Hillary Clinton?

WELD: I’m not sure anybody’s more qualified than Hillary Clinton to be President of the United States. I mean, that’s not the end of the inquiry, though.
