Rick Perry: Turkey May Be Run By Terrorists

Rick Perry said in Monday’s South Carolina debate that Turkey may have been taken over by “Islamic terrorists” based on their ruling Islamic party. The answer came in response to a question over whether Turkey should remain a NATO ally, which Perry said was a conversation worth having.

“Obviously when you have a country that is being ruled by what many would perceive to be islamic terrorists, when you start seeing that type of activity against their own citizens, then, yes,” he said. “Not only is it time for us to have a conversation about whether or not they belong…but it’s time for the United states, we look at their foreign aid, to go to zero with it.”

7:13 PM PT: Bonus points for Rick Perry! He realized Turkey is a country, not a bird. Or a vegetable.

7:15 PM PT: If Perry had displayed the capacity of speaking in semi-complete sentences in his earlier debates, maybe he'd be in Rick Santorum's spot right about now.
