Trail Blazers Blog: Perry jokes that former buddy Al Gore has “gone to hell” on climate change issue
Rick Perry doesn’t like to talk about his days as a Democrat, particularly his role in 1988 as the head of Al Gore’s presidential campaign in Texas.
But on Wednesday, after he accepted and endorsement from a group of builders in Dallas, I managed to get out a question about his relationship with Gore and where each stands on Gore’s pet issue of climate change.
“I certainly got religion,” Perry said. “I think he’s gone to hell.” That drew big laughs from the construction types gathered for Perry’s appearance.
