Perry Asked What He Would Do for Campaign Donations

November 10, 2014 · 1:59 pm ET · 32 Comments

A Darmouth College student asked Texas Gov. Rick Perry (R) if he would have anal sex in exchange for campaign contributions, The Dartmouth reports.

Another question: “I know you have been very strong on all foreign policy issues, including Somali pirates, but what is your stance on butt pirates?”

The student “who wrote and distributed these and other questions, said Perry’s views were more insulting than the questions. Several members of the audience said they were excited to hear Perry speak but offended by the questions.”
