Responding to Gary Johnson‘s gaffe-heard-round-the-world Thursday morning, Johnson supporter Jesse Ventura was blunt: “Who the hell cares about Aleppo?”

The former Minnesota governor and onetime wrestler argued that if you subscribe to a Libertarian platform of less military intervention abroad, the details of foreign locations — such as the war-torn Syrian city Aleppo — become less important.

Speaking to Bernie & Sid on 77WABC radio Thursday, Ventura said, “If you’re pulling out of the Middle East wars, why the hell do you need to know if a city over there — Get us out of there! Fifteen years, we’ve accomplished nothing. We’ve spent trillions of dollars.”

He continued, “So if you’re coming home, who the hell cares about Aleppo?”
