Rick Perry encountered loud heckling over his now-infamous anti-gay “war on religion” ad during an event in Ames, Iowa on Sunday, as “several Iowans screamed questions about his views on gays.” Perry ran out the back door to his waiting car without taking questions:
“Why do you hate gay people so much,” someone in the audience screamed as Perry wrapped up a campaign stop without taking questions from the audience.
“Go back to Texas” another screamed from the back of Cafe Diem coffee shop in Ames.
Others in the crowd argued a bit with those criticizing the Texas governor and 2012 presidential candidate.
