Elaborate how accepting a $5k political donation is a quid pro quo? I’m looking forward to this answer.
He took the donation and then mandated that all girls in Texas needed to use a product from the company that made the donation.
Quid Pro Quo. You can defend it all you want. You can make little pissant technical legal arguments all you want. It doesn’t change the fact that Rick Perry took money from Merck and mandated the use of Gardasil, a Merck product days later.
Those are the facts and they are indisputable. I’m sure Perry will need a lawyer for one of his many indiscretions at some point, so maybe you can give him a call after you’ve finished school.
