Clinton Responds to Johnson’s Gaffe: ‘You Can Look on the Map to Find Aleppo!’

No one is ever going to let Gary Johnson live down the moment he asked, “What is Aleppo?” It’ll never happen. He will forever be known as the dude who ran for president in 2016 and asked what Aleppo was on TV, thus torpedoing his campaign with the majority — though not all! — of voters.

Neil Cavuto took up the torch of reminding Johnson about the moment today. Not only did he ask the candidate what he thought the effect of the comment would be on his poll numbers, but he showed what Hillary Clinton thought, too.

Yesterday and today, as well as for the duration of her time in the public eye, Clinton has dealt with accusations that she’s not accessible enough and that she never shows emotions. Well, say what you want about her perceived steeliness, but listen as she says, “You can look on the map to find Aleppo!” That is a definite giggle right there.
