  "First it was Gary Johnson who got stumped by basic foreign policy
   questions on the set of "Morning Joe," and now it's Hillary Clinton
   campaign manager Robby Mook who's the one with egg on his face when he
   can't answer a policy question on Aleppo and Syria.

Morning Joe Hilariously Mocks Clinton Campaign Manager: "What're You Here For?

  "For almost 4 solid minutes, Clinton stooge Robby Mook puts on a fixed,
   stupid grin while trying to evade simple questions from the Morning Joe
   staff.
   The coward is finally cornered when Joe Scarborough questions his
   presence on the program.
   If this is the best the Clinton campaign can do to explain her foreign
   policy positions, Hillary should just continue to stay at home."

Robby Mook Says Relationship With Press Is Great, Gets Slammed For Not Answering Questions

  "Clinton campaign manager Robby Mook, was destroyed on Morning Joe this
   morning because he tried to tap-dance around the most basic questions
   about his candidate's stands on issues.
   
   Things started to go downhill about two and a half minutes into the
   interview when Willie Geist asked Mook if Clinton had regrets about the
   way Syria was handled. Completely ignoring the question, Mook's
   response was that Hillary left the State Dept. with a 70% approval
   rating.
   
   GEIST: What's her biggest regret about the way Syria's been handled?
   
   MOOK: Well, obviously, she's been out of office for some time now.
   
   GEIST: But she was there when it started.
   
   MOOK: Well, right, but, but, uh, you know, she, I, I think she's well
   regarded for her leadership as secretary of state. She came out of that
   office with a 70 percent approval rating. In contrast to Donald Trump,
   she has released a clear and decisive plan to defeat ISIS. Donald Trump
   has said that he thinks he knows more about it than the generals and
   refuses to tell us what his secret plan is.
   
   GEIST: I understand, Robby. What about in Syria, though? She supported
   the drawing of the red line. Obviously, she was out of office when
   Assad used chemical weapons. Was it a mistake to draw the red line if
   the president was not willing to go — to do something about it when it
   was crossed?
   
   MOOK: Well, as you pointed out, the decision regarding that was made
   after she was out of office, so I think you'd have to ask President
   Obama —
   
   GEIST: Was she disappointed that the president didn't act when the line
   was crossed?
   
   MOOK: I think you'd have to ask her about that question, how she would
   characterize —
   
   GEIST: Well, you're here to speak for her, Robby, so you haven't
   discussed that at all?
   
   MOOK: She — look, what matters is what she's going to do as president
   and, as I said, she has a clear plan to defeat ISIS. Donald Trump does
   not. It's a secret; he won't tell anybody what it is, and he says he
   knows more about it than the generals. I think the choice for voters is
   clear.
   
   Geist's question was pretty open ended, he didn't have to answer by
   ripping Obama, could have said he regretted the Russian bombing.  But
   he began to rile up the panel by avoiding the question.
   
   Them it was Mike Barnicle's turn, he asked a question that might very
   well come up during the Hofstra debate.
   
   BARNICLE: So, Robby, we do realize you are not secretary of state, but
   in the debate next Monday evening, how would Secretary Clinton respond
   to somewhat of a version of the following question: We've had a relief
   convoy bombed — potentially a war crime — leading into Aleppo. What
   would you do, Secretary Clinton, about providing food, water and
   medicine to the citizens of Eastern Aleppo today, right now,
   differently than what the Obama administration is doing? What would she
   do differently?
   
   MOOK: I, I, again, I think you're going to have to ask her that
   question. That's a matter of policy I'm going to leave it to her to
   determine that.
   
   Now Mook had just finished blasting Trump for not having a plan, but he
   couldn't recite a Clinton plan? Joe Scarborough chimed in and he was
   not happy. He compared Mook's answer to Gary Johnson's Aleppo gaffe
   
   SCARBOROUGH: What are you here, what are you — we love you, buddy, but
   what are you here for, if you can't answer basic questions? That, I
   mean, I don't know if there's — I mean, we may be tiptoeing into Gary
   Johnson territory here, if you don't know the answer to that basic of a
   question — "What is the response to Aleppo?" — then why do we have you
   here?
   
   MOOK: I think, I — look, you're asking new policy questions. You would
   have to ask the secretary for that. My job is not to set policy.
   
   SCARBOROUGH: No, Aleppo's been around — Syria's been around for some
   time. The red line being drawn's been around for some time. I'm not
   being difficult here at all. These are basic questions.
   
   Robby Mook's final tap dance was the most incredible. Later on in the
   interview, Willie Geist gave him a soft ball. He asked about no-fly
   zones, an approach that has previously had Hillary Clinton support.
   
   GEIST: One aspect of the Syria policy for Secretary Clinton we do know
   is she has supported no-fly zones in the country. Is that still her
   belief, that no-fly zones are a good idea?
   
   MOOK: I'm gonna, I'm gonna let her statements speak for themselves.
   
   GEIST: Robby, Robby, aren't you here representing her point of view?
   
   MOOK: I am indeed, and I'm going to let her language speak for itself.
   
   GEIST: Well, you've been saying that Donald Trump won't tell us what
   the policy is, but here you are not telling us what the policy is.
   
   After the interview was over a stunned Joe Scarborough said:
   
   "What's going on? I mean, like, even — I don't understand that. I am
   completely flummoxed by that interview. I mean, first of all, are they
   pleased with the openness with the press? I had heard after the
   pneumonia deal they all were chastened, and they were changing their
   relationship and trying to be more open with the press. Won't even
   respond to Aleppo, won't respond to the no-fly zone. What's going on
   here? Better not to come on."
   
   Heck next time have me on, I will tell him what the answers should have
   been.
   
   
   Watch the full nine-minute interview below.
