You’re In #Louisiana ! – Rick Perry Corrected By Crowd | Sorry #Florida

Entering himself among the throngs of politicians who’ve misidentified the state in which they are speaking, Gov. Rick Perry (R-TX) found himself being corrected by an audience this weekend when he mistakenly said he was in Florida. Speaking at conservative RedState Gathering in New Orleans this weekend, Perry asserted that his state of Texas has embodied the Republican Party’s values that he believes would make people’s lives better all across the nation.

“There are many other states that embrace those conservative values, the approach that we’ve taken over the years,” he continued. “I’m in one today in Florida. You look at South Carolina, you look at Florida.”

“You’re in Louisiana!” an audience member shouted.

“I know,” Perry responded. “And I said that. I’m in one of those states that reflect those today in Louisiana,” he deadpanned, drawing audience laughter and applause.

“You got that,” another attendee shouted back.

“I got that,” Perry replied. “But I’m from Texas, so let’s start there.”
