Gary Johnson: “I’m an Idiot”

Written by SK Ashby

Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson briefly spoke to Guardian reporter Paul Lewis just after he participated in an interview with HBO's Vice News and, well, this happened:

"I could hear some loud voices just then," Lewis joked. "Is it the same questions? You get the same questions again and again and again?

"I'm an idiot," Johnson responded. "Really. I'm the dumbest guy that you've ever met in your whole life."

"I'm trying to work out if that's sarcasm or not," Lewis replied.

"It is," Johnson said. "I hope it's sarcasm." [...]

"Why are you even interviewing me? I don't get it," Johnson fired back. "If I'm doing so poorly, is this to preside over a funeral here? It's not a funeral, it's a celebration."

I don't think there's anything I can add to this. It's already perfect.

The "same question" Johnson was apparently asked was about Aleppo. Johnson kicked off his moronathan tour last month during an appearance on Morning Joe when he asked "what is Aleppo?"
