Former Reagan Education Secretary Bill Bennett took the stage at the Values Voter Summit and dismissed Rick Perry’s new supporter, Southern Baptist Convention chief Robert Jeffress.

Jeffress shook things up yesterday when he called Mormonism a “cult” and urged social conservatives to vote for a candidate who’s a “true follower of Christ.”

Bennett called out Jeffress for bringing up Mitt Romney’s faith.

“You did Rick Perry no good, sir,” Bennett said.
