Libertarian nominee Gary Johnson has a message for Donald Trump as he looks to deliver a challenge to the two-party system. Or really, a gesture.

During an interview Tuesday with CNN's Chris Cuomo on "New Day," the former governor of New Mexico defended his comments Sunday denouncing Trump's rhetoric on Hispanics, Latinos and Mexicans in particular as "just racist."

After the show played a clip of Johnson speaking two days ago, Cuomo grilled the Libertarian on whether he is ready for Trump's counterpunch.

"I think that they've already started coming. So, you know, Donald," Johnson said, before puckering up, placing his hand over his mouth and blowing an air kiss for the presumptive Republican candidate.

Cuomo replied, "That's an interesting rebuttal you have there, governor. I don't know how it's going to go over."

"I don't know," Johnson said with a chuckle.
