Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson couldn't name the leader of North Korea




Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson drew a blank again.

In an interview with The New York Times published on Wednesday, Johnson skirted around a question about whether he could identify North Korea's leader, Kim Jong Un.

When asked if he knew the name of the volatile leader, Johnson said, "I do."

When he was pressed further to identify the North Korean leader, Johnson appeared incredulous.

“You want me to name the person" Johnson responded. “Really.”

1. Lord have mercy.

😂😂😂😂..idiot.

[Retired George]

2. I'm beginning to think Gary Johnson can't name Gary Johnson

Donny is an evil clown; Gary is just a clown.

[Brother Buzz]

25. He can name himself easy peasy

He just has to drop his pants and read the nametag his caregivers sewed on his underwear.

[gordianot]

3. Just goes to show you this election year anything is possible.

[SaschaHM]

4. I don't remember where I saw it, but someone once said...

"Candidates like Jill Stein and Johnson are the reason we don't have viable third parties" and Johnson continues to prove that on a daily basis. Weld must be shaking his head on a daily basis.

7. +1, didn't Weld say recently that he's focusing on tRump now? Seems like he's breaking from the

... ticket without breaking from the ticket.

Johnson is an idiot and he's showing everyone he is especially on foreign policy

After the tounge thing during an interview I stopped paying attention to him altogether

[Agschmid]

21. He should just really break from the ticket.

[Maru Kitteh]

23. "the tongue thing during an interview"

Yeah - If ever there was a phrase that exemplified FULL STOP for a campaign, it would be anything that had "tongue thing during an interview" in it.

[uponit7771]

33. lol.... that along with whipping Mexican things outs ... lol

[uponit7771]

5. His apathy is gob smacking

[radius777]

6. Something is wrong with this guy,

and I don't say in a 'health conspiracy' type of way. I don't agree with much of what Johnson stands for (libertarianism) but he does seem like a good guy.

But even regular, non-educated people know many of the things he's drawing a blank on, couldn't even name a favorite world leader and bullshit his way through a question. Everyone knows the leader of North Korea, who is mocked all over the media, even on non-political comedy type of shows, etc.

Johnson was a governor, for crying out loud, all of this should be very basic stuff for him.

Something has to be wrong, e.g. alzheimers, dementia, etc.

[Frank Cannon]

11. Marijuana, kids. Not even once.

I support legalization as much as the next guy, but let's face it: this guy doesn't set a very good example.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

13. And yet here I am. A licensed architect who can name all the

major world leaders and many "minor" ones. Same with countries and capitals. Weed hasn't made me any dumber than I was when I started way back when, nor any smarter. This idiot is just an airhead who has no serious interest in the job he claims to be seeking......... wait what we're we talking about again?

[Frank Cannon]

29. I don't remember.

I think it was Bill Hicks who said that habitual weed smoking doesn't make you unproductive or unmotivated. You can do everything you normally would do. You just realize that it's not worth the effort.

[JudyM]

30. Ha, good one. Justification for couch-lock.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

32. He was fucking brilliant. nt

[Generic Brad]

27. I think it is less marijuana and more Gary Johnson

He reportedly quit smoking it before the campaign. This is just him being clueless.

[Hortensis]

16. I have problems with names, and to some degree

with word finding. I strongly suspect that's one of his problems.

Most people can cover up lack of knowledge by coughing up the detail or two "everyone" knows. He's blanking on the usual "common knowledge" that's so shallow it's not even worthy of the term.

And he also obviously is lacking any of the depth of knowledge in foreign affairs a presidential candidate should have.

[secondwind]

8. And they want to be included in serious Presidential debates? unbelievable n/t

[mikekohr]

9. To much time rolling papers, not enough time reading them. nt

[reflection]

14. .

[Tarheel_Dem]

10. I honestly don't see the attraction of Johnson, other than his support for pot legalization.

Seems to me he's shed more than a few brain cells. Either that, or just like Trump, he has a wildly absurd lack of curiosity about international affairs.

[jcgoldie]

12. Too much dope

The stuffs harmless healthwise, but over indulgence kills brain cells. I got friends that can't remember their kids names.

[Demsrule86]

15. This is sad.

Gary Johnson may have early onset Alzheimer's.

[joeybee12]

17. the worst part seems the his pride in his ignorance

Which makes me wonder while didn't stay a Repuke. He's their perfect candidate.

[workinclasszero]

18. OMG I swear...

If Hillary doesn't win Merica is screwn!

[JI7]

19. It's not drugs. It's the fact he is a libertarian

They don't have much concern for things they don't see as directly affecting them. Because when one actually thinks of the real world and what to do to fix problems it's hard to be a libertarian.

[Agschmid]

20. Oh man...

[hatrack]

22. "Why can't us poor, oppressed Libertarians be in the Presidential Debates??!?!?"

Because you keep nominating FUCKING MORONS.

[oasis]

24. Kim Jong BONG.

[Maru Kitteh]

26. ^^^^^ THREAD WIN ^^^^^^^

[oberliner]

31. King Bong Un would've been better

Just one opinion.

[Agnosticsherbet]

28. Johnson's limp response to a softball question about foreign diplomacy makes him ineligable

for the job.

[Dawson Leery]

34. Four people are running for POTUS this year,

and ONLY one is qualified for the office.
