1. that would explain why he didn't then take a selfie.

[malaise]

2. A three year old could lie better

Disgusting

[polmaven]

16. Apparently ...

He needs to take lying lessons from 45,
lessons

[gopiscrap]

3. Typical fucking Republican

[Hortensis]

20. This type would legislate to control phones.

Confirmation of their increasing authoritarianism and desire to oppress, which many other actions are revealing, is what is really being demonstrated about Perdue here.

[brush]

4. Repugs lie automatically. We all saw the video.

[malaise]

6. Remember the Con's words

You aren't seeing or hearin what you're seeing or hearing including Perdue grabbing the phone and the young man shouting give me my phone.
These are sick fucks and that is kind.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

5. I'd like to hear the excuses they discarded before going with this one.

[malaise]

7. Bwaaaaaaaah!

Unbelievable!

[defacto7]

8. They wouldn't have to lie if it weren't for their conduct.

But if it weren't for their conduct they wouldn't be Republican.

[sandensea]

9. They have a small army of PR toadies thinking these excuses up non-stop.

You have to, when your client's a Republican.

[malaise]

10. They must be real lightweights

[sandensea]

13. No doubt about it!

Still, it's a good enough cop-out for his base.

Unfortunately, that's often all it takes: giving your base a good excuse for some otherwise inexcusable thing the candidate did.

11. Lyin' Brett said he's an amateur...

[SunSeeker]

12. K & R for exposure of deplorable. nt

[AllaN01Bear]

14. nonsenical.

[George II]

15. The only "selfie" he would have gotten was the back of his head as he ran away.

[red dog 1]

17. Perdue needs to be defeated in 2020

He also needs to hear from us, (ALL of us, not just Georgians)
We should all call him and fax him at his D.C. office,
so his telephone and fax machine will be ringing all day

D.C. Office
phone - 202-224-3521
fax # - 202-224-0103


Georgia residents, call & fax him at his Atlanta, Ga. office
Have that telephone and fax machine ringing all day too
Tell him that he represents you, and that what he did to that student was a disgrace!

Atlanta Office
phone - 404-865-0087
fax - 404-865-0311

18. Selfie Rule #1

Use your own goddamn phone, Perdue!

[malaise]

19. LOL

[Hortensis]

21. Hope a bunch of other students identify and are outraged

even though this is a tech/engineering/research school, and most aren't strongly politically involved.

This one's statements are factual, sensible and on target, and good for him. How sad that staying anonymous is also sensible with these types in charge of government and many other institutions.
