Former two-time Republican presidential candidate and former Texas Gov. Rick Perry came out of his post-candidacy retirement to speak to 2015 Values Voter Summit on Friday.
"We don’t elect kings," Perry told the audience of social conservatives in Washington, D.C. "We overthrow them."
"We can’t sacrifice our principles for the cult of personality. The message has always been greater than the individual," he said in a veiled reference to current GOP frontrunner Donald Trump.
Perry said the country saw "righteous indignation" at Pearl Harbor and the Lincoln Memorial, but, "There is a difference between right indignation and unconstrained anger."

And if the American voters elect Trump to the presidency, Perry must accept the will of the people and not refer to Trump as some kind of king.
And we’ll let Perry keep the $100,000 that the unitard party gave to him for saying such a ridiculous thing.

Looks like Rick has taken off the fake glasses. He should have done that when he was running. He’s the best looking guy in the field.
