Supporting Gov Perry, Republicans Change Facebook Picture
Several GOP lawmakers and Republican operatives have changed their Facebook pictures in a show of support for Gov. Rick Perry, who is struggling with a criminal indictment as he tries to run for president again.
Newly elected GOP state Sen. Brandon Creighton of Conroe and GOP Reps. Jason Isaac of Dripping Springs and Bryan Hughes of Mineola posted photos of themselves with Perry. Several people commended their moves.
Several one-time aides to Republican officeholders at the Capitol also switched their profile pics, including former Perry spokeswoman and chief of staff Kathy Walt and Enrique Marquez, a former spokesman for Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst.
On Twitter, many state and national Republican figures have used the hashtag #StandWithRickPerry. My colleague Brittney Martin has compiled some, which you can check out here.
Many Republicans say a special prosecutor’s attempt to criminalize some of Perry’s conduct last year is misguided at best and at worst a political hit job. Democrats, though, say Perry overreached in his bid to make Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg step down.
On Friday, a Travis County grand jury indicted Perry on charges of abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant, both felonies.
