Perry calls Charleston massacre an “accident,” hits Obama for pushing gun control in wake of attack on black church
WASHINGTON — Rick Perry asserted Friday that President Obama succumbed to a “knee jerk” liberal impulse to use the massacre at a black church in Charleston to push a gun-control agenda.
Calling the attack that left nine worshipers dead an “accident,” the 2016 GOP presidential candidate and former Texas governor also suggested that misuse of therapeutic drugs to treat mental illness might have been a more significant factor than access to firearms.
Perry appeared on Steve Malzberg’s Newsmax TV program. Right Wing Watch, a group that monitors conservatives, reported on the appearance.
Blaming the attack on “evil and cowardice,” he called it premature to identify ways the attack might have been averted. 21-year-old Dylann Roof has reportedly confessed. SOURCE
Rick Perry is a MORON and has NO business being President of anything. Sure, part of what he said is accurate, Obama is using this to HIS advantage in an effort to ban guns and yes indeed, it was an act of ignorance and was committed by a coward, but it was no ACCIDENT!
Although he referred to the attack as an “accident,” he later offered another description, saying, “This was a crime of hate, we know that.”
Well Rick, I’m not a dumber than dirt Democrat, you said it, you own it. This isn’t some ding-dong White chick playing Black, this is a man that wants to be President of this nation and he went FULL RETARD!
He is done! Game over b4 it starts.. what a dumb ass and he is from where!
No wonder all Lib’s are saying “Bring it on!”
But he went to Texas A&M, you have to cut him a little slack for that.. He’s an Aggie…
Heh heh heh - he’s an Aggie. That explains soo much …
I agree with the cowboy. He just shit the bed.
What he intended to say was “incident,” not “accident.” I’ve just one thing to say:
“oops.”
Keep your powder dry
I don’t know. Wasn’t he governor like multiple terms? Surely not stupid. Maybe not slip of the tongue either, cultural? When I grew up in the south it was common to say about a child who messed in his pants…”he had an accident in his pants.”
Of course the point is, he is likely finished again. MSM will not let it go. I doubt Obama will call in the paralegals to help this fainting candidate, like he did for a fainting fan at a speech a few years ago.
File under the heading: “Better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool, than to open it and remove all doubt.”
Keep your powder dry
Regretfully, the foot he just shot will hurt for a lifetime. Perry needs to learn to think before he speaks. Will take a miracle to recover from that gaff.
