[Not “joking” about electric fences.]

I keep notes and this is how it went;

Cain said he would ‘build an electrified fence on the border, and ‘yes, it could kill people’.

The next day he said ‘it was a joke’.

But still later he reversed again and said, ‘I’m not walking away from that’.

Maybe “heartless” is all a matter of “perception”.

"and it might be electrified."

This was more of Herman being Herman. I saw Face the Nation and my take was he was backtracking.

Notice he met with Sheriff Joe and Joe is now backing Perry. He must have not been able to completely convince Joe he was serious or knew what he was talking about.
