Ron Paul avait attaqué Perry sur le sujet un peu plus tôt cette semaine...
"Nobody’s really sure whether Texas Gov. Rick Perry was officially Al Gore’s Texas chairman during his 1988 presidential campaign was — but Gore sure remembers Perry.
"I remember Rick Perry from that campaign. He was one of a number of Democratic legislators who endorsed my candidacy in 1988, and I was happy to have his support," Gore told USA TODAY on Friday. "I don't know what has happened to him since then."
"People are free to change their minds in politics. I'll let the voters judge and make their own interpretation of his explanation for his extreme shift in views," Gore added.
Although a PolitiFact inquiry quoted several Gore campaign officials who said Perry’s title would have been honorific at best, Perry has to date not denied that he chaired Gore’s Texas campaign arm, despite taking several questions on the matter.
However, Gore has invoked Perry before as part of his more recent climate advocacy.
During a May speech, Gore criticized Perry for calling for prayers for rain to combat massive wildfires and drought across Texas instead of taking action on climate change.
“The governor called for prayer. And I prayed,” Gore said. “But as was said already, prayer should involve commitment. There is an old African proverb: 'When you pray, move your feet.' We are called upon to make choices, today.”"
