Rick Perry, Donald Trump's Energy Secretary Rick Perry, was being called out on Twitter for telling US president that "he is a chosen one"
‘Mr President, I know there are people that say, y’know, ‘You said you were the chosen one.’ And, I said: ‘You were,’ Perry told Fox News during an interview.
Trump had called himself "the chosen one" during the US-China trade war but later said he had been joking.
Rick Perry became the top Twitter trend after users started poking fun at him for being what many called a lackey.
“God’s used imperfect people all through history,” Perry told the Fox News host Ed Henry in a video clip widely shared on Monday. “King David wasn’t perfect, Saul wasn’t perfect, Solomon wasn’t perfect.
“And I actually gave the president a little one-pager on those Old Testament kings, about a month ago," Perry said.
Reacting to his statement a user said , "idiots like Rick Perry are destroying America and its so called government...cowards that are stupid..#scienceistruth...so insane any American people support these fools."
"Rick Perry has changed this view on @realDonaldTrump who he once called a "cancer on conservatism" to now saying he's God's "chosen one," said another.
