Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager Robby Mook repeatedly sidestepped “basic” questions this morning and MSNBC hosts got so frustrated, they finally asked, “Why do we have you here?”

“Morning Joe” asked Mook several questions about Hillary’s policy for Syria and on more than one occasion he responded, “You’d have to ask her.”

Mook attempted to dodge a question about what her biggest regret is about the meltdown in Syria.

He dodged another about Obama’s “red line” declaration, claiming the decision to do nothing about Assad’s use of chemical weapons because it was after Clinton left the secretary of state’s job.

He dodged whether Hillary was “disappointed” when the president did nothing.

“Well, you’re here to speak for her, Robby,” panelist Willie Giest responded. “You don’t want to discuss that at all?”

Mook laughed.

When panelist Mike Barnicle asked about what Clinton will say in the debate about Syria, Mook responded, “You’re going to have to ask her that question. That’s a matter of policy, I’m going to leave her to determine that.”

Finally, host Joe Scarborough jumped in.

“We love you buddy but what are you here for if you can’t answer basic things?

“I mean, we may be tiptoeing into Gary Johnson territory if you don’t know the answer to that basic of a question,” Scarborough said, referring to a moment several days ago on the show when the Libertarian candidate was clueless about the chaos in Aleppo.

“Why do we have you here?”

Mook claimed the show was asking “new” policy questions and Scarborough wasn’t buying that.

“New? Syria has been around for some time. The red line being drawn has been around for some time. I’m not being difficult here at all, these are basic questions,” Scarborough said.

Mook then said Clinton would provide answers in the debate scheduled for next week.
