NEWS FLASH

Protesters Don Racist Outfits To Mock Perry’s Position On DREAM Act | Conservative activists protested Rick Perry’s support for allowing children of undocumented immigrants to pay in-state university tuition outside a town hall in Derry, New Hampshire this evening. In order to underscore their point, one woman wore a poncho and sombrero while holding a sign that read “Thanks for the in-state tuition”. Asked why she was “supporting” Perry, the woman told me it’s because “he gives us everything we need.” When I asked who “we” was, she pointed to her sign thanking Perry for in-state tuition and replied, “Is it not obvious? Kinda dense, aren’t ya boy?” Despite multiple attempts, she refused to divulge her identity. Watch the video:
