[VIDEO] US Senate confirms Rick Perry who called Erdoğan an ‘Islamist terrorist’ as Energy Secretary
By TM - March 3, 2017
The Unites States Senate confirmed Rick Perry a former Texas Governor who called Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan an “Islamist terrorist” during a speech in 2012, as Energy Secretary in President Donald Trump’s cabinet.

During the hearing in the Senate on Thursday, Perry was confirmed as the head of the Energy Department by 62 votes in favor of him while 37 voted against. Perry will also lead an agency, Energy Research and Development Administration, largely focused on overseeing the nation’s vast arsenal of nuclear weapons, as well as a network of 17 national scientific laboratories.

In January 2012, Perry questioned Turkey’s status in NATO and said Turkey is a country “being governed by what many would perceive to be Islamic terrorists.”

Perry got that right.   Erdogan is the Islamic Hitler.

Israel and Turkey have made up now though, from what I know. The TM article probably reaches a little bit.

Israel knows better than to trust Erdogan.
