Perry Denies Knowing His Relative That Was Shot By Deputies

Given that his dead, 74 year old cousin is posthumously accused of opening fire on Sheriff’s deputies just doing their job, couldn’t Perry have picked a better phrase?

“I’m not sure I would pick him out of a lineup,” the governor said of Wheeler, who he said was a distant cousin on his grandmother’s side.

Wheeler in fact was a Perry campaign official in the last Governor’s election.
