When it comes to keeping the often-confusing matter of world politics straight, Libertarian presidential candidate Gary Johnson has had some troubles, notes the Huffington Post.
In a recent interview with the New York Times, he appears to have had another one.
When asked if he knew the name of North Korea’s leader Kim Jong-un, he responded, “I do.”
However, when urged to give it, Johnson limited his response to, “You want me to name [the person]. Really."
Johnson never actually gave the information requested.
It is unclear if the refusal to give the name was because it is a well known fact, or if he was covering for a lapse in knowledge.
