SC State Senator Rips Martin Bashir: Rick Perry Knows More About World Events Than You Do
During a tense exchange about Texas Governor Rick Perry on MSNBC’s Martin Bashir, South Carolina Senator Larry Grooms laid a verbal smackdown on Bashir that left the anchor speechless.
Bashir noted that Grooms publicly switched allegiances to Rick Santorum. “Is this because you came to the conclusion of many that Rick Perry lacks an even a rudimentary understanding of the world?”
“I think he has a pretty good understanding of the world,” Grooms responded.
“You do?” Bashir exclaimed. “He has a good understanding of Turkey as being an important member of NATO? You think he has a good understanding of Pakistan?”
“I think he’s got a better understanding than maybe you,” Grooms shot back.
“Oh!” Bashir exclaimed, stung by the State Senator’s comeback.

Despite Grooms’ pointed comeback, Bashir surprisingly got the interview back on track and asked Grooms about Perry’s Turkey comments.
“I disagree that the government is run by Islamic terrorists,” Grooms explained. “There’s a lot of things that a lot of candidates say that I disagree with. There’s no such thing as a perfect candidate. I’m looking for a conservative to win the White House.”
