Perry Blames Indictment, Debates for Failed Campaign

[brooklynite]

Texas Tribune:

Rick Perry blamed his criminal indictment and exclusion from the Republican debate mainstage for his failed presidential bid in his first interview since suspending his presidential campaign on Friday.

"The indictment by the Travis County district attorney’s office, this drunk DA that had used this office, we think, for political purposes… it had a real corrosive effect on our ability to raise money," he said on Fox News' "Hannity."

“The political opponents, they did their damage," he later added of his legal problems.

The indictments against Perry were lodged by a special prosecutor, and brought by a grand jury, not the Travis County DA, as Perry said on Hannity.

Okay, we'll go with that one...
