Perry Piles on Trump

"Rick Perry has joined the chorus of current and former Republican presidential candidates

condemning Donald Trump over comments the real estate mogul made about Mexican immigrants.

“Donald Trump does not represent the Republican Party,” the former Texas governor said on ABC News’ “This Week” on Sunday. “I was offended by his remarks.”

During a speech last month launching his campaign, Trump vowed to build a wall between Mexico and the United States to keep Mexican criminals and “rapists” from crossing the border.

“They are bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they are rapists,” Trump said. “And some are good people.”

“Hispanics in America and Hispanics in Texas, from the Alamo to Afghanistan, have been extraordinary people, citizens of our country and of our state,” Perry said. “To paint with that broad a brush that Donald Trump did … he’s going to have to defend those remarks. I never will. And I will stand up and say that those are offensive, which they were.”" yahoo
