As Twitchy reported, Texas Gov. Rick Perry was recently indicted on bogus charges. His crime? Doing his job and vetoing funding for Travis County’s public integrity unit, led by drunk-driving, abusive DA Rosemary Lehmberg.
Since then, conservatives all over the country have expressed their support for Gov. Perry. Dr. Ben Carson is among them:
My most sincere prayers go to @GovernorPerry, it is sad decent people who serve our nation are targeted & undergo character assassination.

Indeed.
@RealBenCarson @GovernorPerry well said,sir
