This summary of Rick Perry’s appearance on The View is not completely accurate and parts of its are misleading.

In the video in your link, Bill Still stated that Perry will vote for Trump. He did not add the crucial second part of the story: “at the end of the day,” if Trump were the nominee versus Hillary.

http://www.breitbart.com/video/2016/04/27/rick-perry-view-end-day-ill-vote-trump/

Second, Perry endorsed Cruz on January 25, 2016:

http://www.cnn.com/2016/01/25/politics/ted-cruz-rick-perry-endorsement/

So, this is not true (text below from your source, Red State Watcher”):

“Texas governor, and Republican Presidential Candidate Rick Perry announced on ABC’s “The View” today that shockingly he will not endorse Ted Cruz – a fellow Texas politician.”

On The View, Perry specifically said (at 6:33 into the segment), he said, “Look, I’m for Ted Cruz.”

This headline and the linked article are not representative of what Perry actually said.

Thank you, onyx. I actually watched both videos (at RSW and the entire View segment). That’s NOT what Perry said.

Perry is a 5-year Captain USAF veteran. That means something in my book.

Will vote for him in the general if Trump gets the nomination. Texas voted almost two months ago.

It’s misleading.

1. Perry endorsed Cruz on 1/25/16.

2. Perry only said he would vote for Trump if he were the nominee - NOT that he’s throwing Cruz over for Trump.

This entire post is unworthy of FR.

But that’s not what Perry actually said. I posted the links above. You can check it for yourself.

This article and the linked content is misleading.

Does that indicate, like Giuliana (and wasn’t there another one? Maybe Pence?) that leaves himself a little wiggle room by not actually ENDORSING but rather just saying “I’ll vote for him”?

Thanks, smokingfrog.

The RSW content is crap.

Perry already endorsed Cruz in January. I posted two links with the actual facts above.

Serious twisting of words posted here again by you.
He simply stated like most every conservative, if it ends up between Trump and Cankles - he will of course vote Trump.

That’s your answer? This article is misleading.

Prove to me that Perry said he wouldn’t endorse Cruz. You can’t. I posted the link where he did in January.

Your source is wrong and incomplete.

And relying on a paraphrased pseudo news report from whoever Bill Still is doesn’t count as actual facts. Sloppy reportage on his part. It’s undated, with no source video or audio, or even a link. It’s crap reporting.

Your post. Your burden of proof. I watched the entire segment of The View. I challenge you to do the same and find any statement by Perry where he said he wouldn’t endorse Cruz.

You can’t. Because he didn’t.

He also said he would vote for Trump *if he were the nominee*.

He is kinda creepy. He’s imitating that mid-70s sardonic newsman delivery in an effort to sound professional. He also forgot his jacket and tie if he’s going to play anchorman.

He’s also making stuff up. Makes FR look bad by reposting it.

Sorry, FR doesn’t work that way.

Ad hominems (”grow up”) are reserved for DU.

FR is a site that dissects comments and posts and ultimately, arrives at the truth.
