Rick Perry on trump in 2015. Another weak and cowardly republican sellout.
WASHINGTON Showing no desire to step back from his clash with fellow Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, former Gov. Rick Perry on Wednesday unleashed a torrent of insults about the billionaire, calling Trump a "barking carnival act" and a "toxic mix of demagoguery, mean-spiritedness and nonsense."
During his speech at a downtown hotel here, Perry also described Trump as "a sower of discord," a scapegoater, a candidate who offers "empty platitudes and promises," and "a cancer on conservatism." He added that Trump "is wrongly demonizing Mexican-Americans for political sport" and is "the modern-day incarnation of the know-nothing movement."
