Rick Perry Says Openly Gay Kid Winning Texas A&M Student Body Presidential Election Is "A Mockery Of Due Process"

Senate Committee Holds Confirmation Hearing For Rick Perry To Become Energy Secretary

New York TimesRick Perry, the former Texas governor and current United States energy secretary, says the recent presidential election was stolen.

It isn’t the legitimacy of his boss, President Trump, that Mr. Perry is calling into question. No, he has reservations about last month’s election for student body president at his alma mater, Texas A&M University.

In a piece published by The Houston Chronicle on Wednesday, Mr. Perry took the remarkable step of weighing in on the most local of politics. In it, he argues in great detail that the election of the school’s first openly gay student body president was mishandled and that the true winner was denied victory, an outcome that never would have been allowed were he not a straight, white male.

The process, overseen by the school’s Student Government Association, at best “made a mockery of due process and transparency,” Mr. Perry wrote. “At worst, the S.G.A. allowed an election to be stolen outright.”

Nice to see Secretary Perry still there for the common man. Far too often we see people elevate to higher offices and just focus on bigger, broader issues. Far too often we see influential people big time us normal folk… big time our common issues. Octagon Bob for example won’t bring me coffee in the morning; Robbie Fox used to every day. Well not Rick Perry. He may be the United States Energy Secretary but he’s not above calling out the mockery that is the Texas A&M student body electing an openly gay president. How dare they. Have you no honor? Glasses guys see everything and Rick Perry saw right through this horse shit. Hey Aggies it’s 2017, maybe mix in some due process and transparency for fuck’s sake.
