a "barking carnival act" and a "toxic mix of demagoguery, mean-spiritedness and nonsense."

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."
