In a previous post it was reported that Rick Perry suspended his presidential campaign and endorsed Newt Gingrich. That post also provided the full Gingrich statement about the endorsement.
Below is the video of Rick Perry endorsing Gingrich and why.
Gingrich statement below:
“I am humbled and honored to have the support of my friend Rick Perry. His selflessness is yet another demonstration of his deep sense of citizenship and commitment to the cause of limited government, historic American values and greater freedom for every American.
“Governor Perry will continue to be a leader for the cause of conservatism, especially for more American energy and for implementing the 10th Amendment across the country.
“South Carolinians have a chance this Saturday to nominate a bold Reagan conservative who will offer a dramatic contrast with President Obama this fall in the general election.
“I ask the supporters of Governor Perry to look at my record of balancing the budget, cutting spending, reforming welfare, and enacting pro-growth policies to create millions of new jobs and humbly ask for their vote.
[Update] The Right Scoop has the entire video of Perry's announcement, 11 minutes.
