GET ME REWRITE: Mitt Romney sez Rick Perry is a dimwit, but then we already knew that

 

Headline:  New York Times, 10/19/2023

Mr. Romney described Mr. Perry, the former Texas governor who was a rival for the 2012 Republican nomination, as a “dimwit,” Mr. Coppins writes. 

In his journal, Mr. Romney wrote of Mr. Perry that “Republicans must realize that we must have someone who can complete a sentence.” 

In 2016, when Mr. Perry ran a short-lived campaign for president, Mr. Romney said that the Texan’s “prima donna, low-IQ personality” was a non-starter.

Perry's eyeglasses were just a prop to make him look smart.
