ABC News Cuts Off Rick Perry In The Middle Of An Insane Obama Conspiracy Rant

Gov. Rick Perry tried to push his claim that the humanitarian crisis involving an influx of Central American children on the border was an Obama conspiracy, but ABC’s This Week called him out on it and ended the interview when Perry added an imaginary hurricane.

Transcript:

RADDATZ: — but Governor, this — this is about a law. This isn’t necessarily about Border Patrol. This is about a law. You heard in Jim Avila’s piece, they have to let these people into the country when they’re from non-contiguous nations, when they’re from Central America or South America.

Should that law be changed?

PERRY: The rule of law is that “The Constitution” requires the United States to secure the border. And we’re not doing that. We haven’t done it for years. And we are paying a huge price.

When you have catch and release policies that send…

RADDATZ: But — but, Governor, please…

PERRY: — a message to people…

RADDATZ: — go back to the law…

PERRY: — in Central America…

RADDATZ: — the 2008 law that was signed into law by George Bush.

Isn’t this is a backlog in the courts?

Doesn’t that have to be addressed first?

PERRY: What has to be addressed is the security of the border. You know that. I know that. The president of the United States knows that. I don’t believe he particularly cares whether or not the border of the United States is — is secure.

And that’s the reason there’s been this lack of effort, this lack of focus, this lack of resources…

RADDATZ: He’s telling people not to come.

PERRY: — and…

RADDATZ: He’s telling them in ads not to come into the United States, not to leave their homes.

PERRY: About — about five years too late would be my response to that. The president has sent powerful messages time after time…

RADDATZ: You know, Governor…

PERRY: — by his policies, by nuances, that it is OK to come to the United States and you can come across and you’ll be accepted in open arms. That is the real issue.

RADDATZ: But, Governor, you’ve made — I — I want to go back to an interview you did on Fox News. You re— you recently made some pretty serious allegations against the federal government.
….

RADDATZ: Governor, do you re

RADDATZ: Governor, do you really believe there’s some sort of conspiracy to get people into the United States by the federal government, by the Obama administration?

PERRY: When I have — when I have written a letter that is dated May of 2012, and I have yet to have a response from this administration, I will tell you they either are inept or don’t care, and that is my position.

We have been bringing to the attention of President Obama and his administration since 2010, he received a letter from me on the tarmac. He sends — I have to believe that when you do not respond in any way, that you are either inept, or you have some ulterior motive of which you are functioning from.

So the issue is, this president understands now that we have a huge problem on our southern border. We have to deal with it. And I don’t think you’re going to be able to address it until you put the resources there, and that’s boots on the ground. We’re asking for the FAA to allow for drones to be used.

Unless we secure our southern border, this is going to continue to be a massive amount of individuals that are coming to the United States. And, frankly, we don’t have a place to house them as it is. And if we have a major event, a hurricane that comes in to the Gulf Coast, I don’t have a place to be housing people who are displaced.

RADDATZ: OK, governor, I’m going to have to stop you there.

PERRY: This administration is housing them.

Apparently, President Obama is sending these Central American children some sort of subliminal message, because, according to Rick Perry, this influx of immigrants is all a vast conspiracy to….fill the country up with illegal immigrants?

The conspiracy and the attempt to blame the president for a humanitarian crisis that was triggered a 2008 law that George W. Bush signed is absurd. It was good to see Martha Raddatz of This Week call out Perry on his nonsense. It was also nice to see a Republican being held accountable for the lunacy that they push on Fox News every day.

1. There's an Obama conspiracy to get these children into the country because no one answered

Rick Perry's May, 2012 letter? Was the letter even written in coherent English? Was it written in crayon? I'll bet Rick Perry never got a response from his letters to Santa Claus either. It must be a conspiracy.


"...RADDATZ: Governor, do you really believe there’s some sort of conspiracy to get people into the United States by the federal government, by the Obama administration?

PERRY: When I have — when I have written a letter that is dated May of 2012, and I have yet to have a response from this administration, I will tell you they either are inept or don’t care, and that is my position.

We have been bringing to the attention of President Obama and his administration since 2010, he received a letter from me on the tarmac.

2. Yep, Ricky Boy continues to make himself proud to be an A$$hole. He is ready to continue his

rants he was running in the RNC presidential campaign. He claims he was on pain medication and it did not present him well to our nation. Now what is his problem, thinking it is the deep seeded radical thoughts he had before he campaigned in the last presidential run and he needs some conversion therapy to rid him of the a$$hole thoughts.

[roguevalley]

3. given how many stupid republicans there are, it takes a special kind of stupid to win and he does.

[Gothmog]

4. Juanita Jean had some fun with Goodhair's latest act of stupidity

Juanita Jean could not pass this opportunity up http://www.juanitajean.com/2014/07/06/oh-yall-its-gotta-be-brain-freeze/

Rick Perry has to study-up to be dumb.

I swear on all that is holy that he’s been taking America-lessons for the past two years so he can run for President and be two IQ points smarter than Sarah Palin.

It didn’t work.

Dumb as a sack of hammers.

Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) is not backing away from a conspiracy theory he recently floated about the Obama administration somehow coordinating the surge of immigrants coming over the border for some unknown reason.

Perry recently suggested on Fox News that the Obama administration might be “in on this somehow” and helping move immigrants over the border. Asked about that statement on Sunday, Perry didn’t back away.

What? President Obama is going to use refugees from a Central America drug war to herd us all into underground bunker reeducation camps ruled by the New World Order in Roswell, New Mexico, with Janet Reno’s, the woman who shot Kennedy, black helicopters hovering overhead?

Well, crap Rick, everybody knows that. Just go ahead and say it.



And by the way, please make Rick quit torturing the English language. In an attempt not to end a sentence with a preposition, we get this …

I have to believe that when you do not respond in any way, that you are either inept, or you have some ulterior motive of which you are functioning from,” Perry said on ABC’s “This Week” on Sunday.

Nice try, Dumbo, but you could have ended the sentence at the word “motive.”

I’ll give somebody fifty dollars cash American money to go convince him that he’s already been President and now it’s time to go to the ranch and paint pictures of himself in the bathtub.

I mean it.

Goodhair is a really stupid person

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

5. Just ask him what three federal government departments he would eliminate

That will keep him busy for months.

[calimary]

7. Would that be the departments he would eliminate of which he is functioning from?

Good Grief!!!

WHAT is in the water in Texas? Good Grief - they keep elevating these ding-dongs to higher office...

Just makes me shake my head in disbelief sometimes. Seriously - who could possibly regard a rick perry or george w. busy as fit for the governorship, or a louie gohmert as - first a JUDGE - and then a CONGRESSMAN...

I don't know who qualifies as Dumb or Dumber or Dumbest.

[MrMickeysMom]

21. It isn't the water...

It's the Stooopid…

[mc51tc]

23. All good Texas Democrats should visit Juanita Jean`s Salon

She is so funny and smart! Ann Richards and Mollie Ivins would be proud of her!!!

[Gothmog]

24. I agree

[NastyRiffraff]

33. Thanks for turning me on to Juanita Jean!

Another gem from her:

Every single time John Boehner opens his mouth, I do not hear a human voice. Instead, I hear the sound of a spoon being pounded against a high chair tray.

[LoisB]

6. It must be tough finding an "Obama conspiracy" in every damned thing.

[lunatica]

11. They're not 'finding' an Obama conspiracy in anything

They're just using the word 'conspiracy' like they use the words 'gay agenda'. They're interchangeable.

Who needs facts?

[Gidney N Cloyd]

8. Dumb as a sack of horseshoes.

[heaven05]

14. So, that makes

the people who voted for him even dumber, right? That's the real point of seeing this dumbass make a fool of himself. People voted, in the majority, for this..................... American's did this to themselves. Bachmann, same thing. Issa, same thing. Cruz, same thing. Santorum, same thing. That's what A LOT of americans are about, being dumb.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

20. A lot of politicians, esp GOPers, can keep it together long enough to make a good 1st impression.

Palin sounds like an idiot from the get-go but guys like Gingrich can string you along a bit. It can take a few minutes for the crazy train to pull into the station and by then a lot of voters have tuned out. So really I think the main problem is voters' short attention spans more than their relative IQs.

[heaven05]

31. that's a good point

yet......american voters for the RW period?

[QuestForSense]

9. The transcript doesn't read like she cut him off in the middle of his rant.

Actually, it sounds like she drew him out and gave him plenty of time to say what he wanted to say. The headline is misleading.

[Chakab]

26. I'm sick of the hyperbole when it comes to recounting these talking head exchanges.

She didn't cut him off at all.

[Mr.Bill]

10. I thought he learned during the debates

not to go on TV and speak when he is drunk.

[sulphurdunn]

12. English Translation:

Labor costs are as low as they can go, so we don't need these people right now. However, they are still profitable to companies who are paid public money to incarcerate them or that sell and built technology and infrastructure to lock them up or to keep them out. We can also use more"boots on the ground," preferably from outsourced, high profit, private security firms.

[Rozlee]

13. Gawd, why does my state suffer these idiots?

These nutcases grow down here like crabgrass in a cow pasture. You can't swing a dead possum without hitting a conspiracy theorist teabagger in this place. There are literally more churches than beer joints in most of the state and the fundies have a chokehold on the entire legislature.

[Beartracks]

15. "Who is this George Bush you keep talking about?"

That's just about where Republicans are these days: disavowing all knowledge of their golden boy.

========================

[rickyhall]

16. If our president is reponsable for everything he'd be omnipotent like you know who...

[txwhitedove]

17. Horrifyingly stupid. OMG, drones? He wants to use drones? Assuming it's to blow up humans trying

to cross U.S. border? This makes me sick.

[Gidney N Cloyd]

22. What does he think drones would magically accomplish?

[dhill926]

18. Ricky does ramble on doesn't he….

and poor Martha must have gotten a migraine interviewing the fool...

[Ikonoklast]

19. Typical response from a typical Republican asshole who hates people, but loves corporations.

"And if we have a major event, a hurricane that comes in to the Gulf Coast, I don’t have a place to be housing people who are displaced."

But Perry can certainly find a few hundred million in tax cuts to give away to mega-corporations.

[JohnnyRingo]

30. If Perry doesn't have a detailed plan for a likely hurricane in a Gulf State....

...he has no right to call the federal govt "inept". Will FEMA arrive to find Rick Perry cowering under his desk in a puddle of urine in the aftermath of a natural disaster in his state?

He calls himself "governor" of Texas. Maybe he should look up the meaning of the word.

[mc51tc]

25. This Aggie Gov. Rick Dufus even has former Kay Bailey Hutchinson upset!

Rick Perry is behind this UT saga! He went to A&M! Oops!

"Alumni letter calls University of Texas president's forced resignation a 'travesty'"

http://www.dallasnews.com/sports/college-sports/texas-longhorns/20140706-alumni-letter-calls-university-of-texas-president-s-forced-resignation-a-travesty.ece

Urgent e-mail:

"We apologize for interrupting your Fourth of July weekend, but we have urgent news of the university to share with you."

Multiple news outlets are reporting that UT-Austin President Bill Powers has been given an ultimatum to resign or be fired at this week’s meeting of the Board of Regents. We can confirm for you that this news is accurate, and that President Powers has declined to resign, instead asking to work together on a timeline for change.

A forced resignation or firing would be a travesty for UT. It would cause further tension with legislators regarding UT System, would compound unrest among faculty, students, and alumni, and invoke serious harm to the institution’s reputation in the national spotlight. President Powers has advanced the university through many tremendous accomplishments, and has been a great leader; he deserves better than this. This is about our university; it is a treasure that alumni need to protect and we need to stand up and fight for its stature. The University of Texas at Austin deserves better than this.

This latest news came from an unfortunate leak to the media which has caused a premature impression of an ongoing and unresolved personnel decision, and has inflamed the controversy. If the individual who leaked the details of the conversation between the chancellor and the president of UT-Austin to the media is in a fiduciary role over the university, this person has breached that duty and has not acted honorably nor in the best interests of the university. Despite this, the chancellor and the president should be able to work together on a mutual decision that provides leadership and a succession plan for the university. That is the way this kind of change is responsibly made.

For more information on this matter and resources for alumni to take action, please see this overview on our Texas Exes website, www.texasexes.org

Thank you for your loyalty to our great alma mater."

Kay Bailey Hutchison, President of the Board

Charles Matthews, Chairman of the Board

27. PERRY: The rule of law is that “The Constitution” requires the United States to secure the border.

Ok, where does it say that? I just went back and skimmed through the Constitution (and the amendments, to boot) and didn't find it. Now like I said, I skimmed, so maybe I missed it, but does anyone apart from Rick Perry know exactly where it says that?

[Takket]

28. i doubt rick perry could pass the SAT

and not only does the right accept that, they consider ignorance to be heroic.

[JohnnyRingo]

29. Obama caused a liqueur store to be robbed here last night.

He could have posted an FBI agent full time there, but by ignoring the problem he's encouraging such crime. Sure, the place has been targeted for decades by armed robbers, but only Obama can now do something about it. Just as in Rick Perry's Texas, local law enforcement is completely powerless to ebb the problem, but that doesn't mean they're inept like Obama.

Welcome to Obama's America. hahaha

[LiberalFighter]

32. It is more likely that the Republicans organized a campaign to bring them in.

With the help of the Koch brothers and Karl Rove.

[littlemissmartypants]

34. I guess they didn't

Realize he was having a religious experience and speaking in tongues.
