Republican Miami Mayor Francis Suarez admitted during an interview with Hugh Hewitt this week that he was completely unaware of one of the largest human rights issues in the world.

Suarez, a long-shot Republican presidential candidate, was asked by Hewitt about the Uyghurs, a minority group in China who are locked up in concentration camps and forced into re-education facilities.

After talking briefly about China, Hewitt asked Suarez, “Will you be talking about the Uyghurs in your campaign?”

“The what?” Suarez responded.

“The Uyghurs,” Hewitt said.

“What’s a Uyghur?” Suarez asked.

Several minutes later, at the end of the interview, Suarez said, “And you gave me homework, Hugh.”

“I’ll look at what a, what was it, what did you call it, a Weeble?” Suarez said laughingly.

“The Uyghurs. You really need to know about the Uyghurs, Mayor,” Hewitt, who was not laughing, responded. “You’ve got to talk about it every day, okay?”

“I'll look at — what’d you call it, a ‘Weeble?’”
