The former Texas governor accepted the nomination reportedly believing he would be a global ambassador for the American oil and gas industry as head of the Department of Energy, which he proposed abolishing during his 2012 presidential campaign.
Interior Secretary Ryan Zinke told GQ that hes become close friends with Perry while serving under President Donald Trump, and hes poked fun at his fellow Cabinet members reported ignorance.
Secretary Perry is a wonderful guy, Zinke told the magazine. I think he thought his department was more about energy than
science. Mostly, its science and, of course, they also have responsibility of our nuclear arsenal.
Zinke said Perry apparently confused the Department of Energy with the Department of Interior when accepting the job.
