Oh Dear Lord. ON EDIT
Y’all, I am clumsily blogging on my iPhone again but this won’t wait until I get home.
Not only does Rick Perry say Charleston was “an accident,” he also says it may have been cause by prescription drug abuse.
No. No. No, Rick. Prescription drug abuse is YOUR problem.
On Edit: Again, I apologize. I am gonna learn to blog on the darn iPhone.
Here’s the part that gets me. Perry orates ….
“It seems to me, again without having all the details about this, that these individuals have been medicated and there may be a real issue in this country from the standpoint of these drugs and how they’re used,” Perry said.
Maybe I have lost my mind but I do not recall anybody suggesting that Dylann Roof was on prescription drugs but I do remember many people believing that Rick Perry’s bizarre behavior because he was abusing prescription pain killers.
Now we have this. Perry’s staff claims he misspoke.
Reached for comment, a Perry communications adviser wrote in an email that Perry clearly meant to say “incident” and not “accident.”
Burglary is an incident. Murder is not an incident – it is murder.
No, he did not “misspeak.” He knew exactly what he was saying. He was desperately pandering to his base by trying to make it look like President Obama was coming after their guns because somebody accidentally slipped and pulled a trigger enough times to murder 8 people. It was an accident. It was an incident. It was a thing that happened. It was misfortune. It was anydamnthing but racial terrorism.
Rick. Go home. You’re drunk.
