Disqualified?

If the ‘Aleppo’ Flub Disqualifies Johnson, Then Trump and Clinton Are Disqualified, Too
Excerpt: Eventually, all of the piling on started to seem like a bit much, particularly when I started seeing so many people say that Johnson’s comment was “disqualifying.” At a point, I thought to myself, “Wait, didn’t Donald Trump not know what Brexit was?” ... While we’re at it, let’s have a look at Hillary Clinton, the captain of team “I Don’t Know.” She and her supporters replied “I don’t know” a whopping 327 times during her e-mail investigation. Let’s assume, for a moment, that what her supporters have been saying about this is true: That she really was telling the truth about her e-mails. That would mean that she, as the Secretary of State — a job that centers around handling confidential, classified information — didn’t know the proper markings for confidential, classified information. It would mean that she also didn’t know that discussions about potential drone strikes — that is, possible military operations — would be sensitive information.
