Talk about a campaign crashing and burning before it ever leaves the ground.

The Mayor of Miami is apparently running for president as a Republican and Hugh Hewitt had him on his national radio show to discuss politics.

Hewitt: Will you be talking about the Uyghurs in your campaign?

Suarez: The what?

Hewitt: The Uyghurs.

Suarez: What's a Uyghur?
