Rick Perry calls the shooting "an accident".

Perry calls Charleston massacre an “accident,” hits Obama for pushing gun control in wake of attack on black church

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.

Snip............he also seemed to downplay that motive.
“There were more people than that killed in Paris,” he said, comparing the Wednesday night massacre in Charleston, S.C., to the Charlie Hebdo attacks that left a dozen people dead.

His nuts are not the problem. It's his brain. From here it seems too squishy to function properly.

Perry is proof that even a stupid racist fuckwad can become governor of a state and run for POTUS.
