Libertarian presidential nominee Gary Johnson on Wednesday declined to name the leader of North Korea, Kim Jong Un.
{mosads}Johnson was asked Wednesday by The New York Times if he knew the North Korean leader’s name.
“I do,” Johnson said. “You want me to name” the person? he asked.
“Really,” he added.
Johnson then launched into an attack on Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton.
“Because Hillary Clinton can dot the i’s and cross the t’s on geographic leaders, of the names of foreign leaders,” he said, “the underlying fact that hundreds of thousands of people have died in Syria goes by the wayside.”
Johnson stirred controversy last month after he struggled to name a single living foreign leader he admires.
“I guess I am having an Aleppo moment,” he said when pressed to name a foreign leader he respects or looks up to.
He then offered “the former president of Mexico” but claimed he was having a “brain freeze” when asked which one.
In another interview last month, Johnson asked, “What is Aleppo?” when questioned on what he would do about the besieged Syrian city.
